6 on Batman/Catwoman #5 reviewBatman/Catwoman #5 marks a moment in the series where a lack of coherent narrative thrust hinders otherwise solid sequences. Clay Mann’s art remains solid as ever, though his work with the older Selina shows some strain, but Tom King’s script finds itself wavering due to the self-imposed three-headed narrative structure. Of the three storylines here,…
Batman/Catwoman #4 is mean down to the bone. No one, except the villains, likes each other and Tom King’s script offers mass murderers a sense of camaraderie our heroes seem incapable of possessing. Maybe that’s the point, I have little doubt it’s intentional, but between sloppy transitions and the detached aura the fractured narrative creates,…
Batman/Catwoman #3 refines some themes Tom King set up in previous issues while slightly advancing the core narrative across the three time periods established so far. There’s no surprises in this issue, but the tense atmosphere remains palpable despite a narrative that amounts to spinning plates and waiting for one to finally crash. In previous…
Batman/Catwoman #2 delivers more of the same, but that’s not always a bad thing. Non-linear storytelling, striking art, and a compelling, though still vague, mystery drives this month’s issue. It’s a delicate balancing act, but whenever Tom King’s script lags in plot progression or clarity, Clay Mann’s beautiful art picks up the slack and almost…
As San Diego Comic-Con drew to a close, Tom King made his way North to begin working with Ava DuVernay on the New Gods script. The week has now drawn to a close, and that means some celebratory tweets and photos were in order. It was announced back in May that King had been tapped…
San Diego Comic-Con 2019 is now in our rearview mirror, and it's time for the movie industry to get back to work. And, specifically, that means it's time for Ava DuVernay and Tom King to sit down and knock out a script for The New Gods film. King announced last week that he would go…
DC has teamed up with United Service Organizations (USO) to bring the worlds of Batman, The Flash, and Black Lightning to the service men and women serving in the Middle East. The USO has announced that it recently teamed up with DC for a tour of five U.S. military bases in Kuwait including Camp Buehring,…
UPDATE: Literally (and we do mean it in this case) as we hit publish on this story, DuVernay confirmed the news via Twitter. Original story follows below. Tom King is reportedly on his way to work with Ava DuVernay on the script for her New Gods movie. According to a source speaking with The Wrap,…
Rumors have been swirling for a few days now, and it’s finally official: Tom King will be leaving the main Batman title this December. He’s been on the book since the launch of Rebirth and has successfully juggled his work on the title with series like Heroes in Crisis and Mister Miracle, and has constantly…
If, for some odd reason, you still haven't read Batman writer Tom King's astoundingly beautiful run on The Vision, there's never been a better time to catch up. Right now, you can have the entire run for less than five bucks, as both trades are on sale for $2.20 a piece on Amazon/comiXology. I've been…
Let me tell you guys, FAN EXPO Dallas was great. Tons of great comics information was revealed over this past weekend, including the upcoming re-teaming of Snyder and Capullo on Dark Nights: Metal. Tom King himself was present as well, and he revealed lots of details about what he has in store for Batman. The…
Once a month, I'll be writing about the things I'm reading in which Batman is (gasp) absent. My hope is that I can turn you on to some good stuff that maybe you wouldn't have checked out otherwise. Or maybe I'm too weird and you won't dig anything I pick. Either way, be sure to…

With the recent release of Grayson, Vol. 1: Agents of Spyral and the June 24th's forthcoming Grayson #9, writers Tim Seeley and Tom King have quite a bit to celebrate: this is their first collected volume for the series, after all, and Grayson has proven to be a critical and financial success. To mark this…
