Gotham City Sirens #3 (Batman Reborn) – Review

By Scott Lobdell (Writer) and Guillem March (Art) Some Thoughts Before The Review: While the art has been fantastic, everything else about Gotham City Sirens has been, at best, average.

Wednesday Comics #7 – Review

Batman by Brian Azzarello (writer), Eduardo Risso (artist) – Sure it looks good and the dialogue has that scathing snap I’ve come to expect from the creator of 100 Bullets, but I’m shocked at how boring this story is.  I can’t blame Azzarello for not wanting to do a standard superhero story, but even for [...]

Gotham City Sirens #2 (Batman Reborn) – Review

By Paul Dini (Writer), Guillem March (Artist), and Jose Villarubia (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The first issue of G.C.S. wasn’t anything special.

Batman: Gotham After Midnight #11 – Review

By Steve Niles (Writer), Kelly Jones (Art), and Michelle Madsen (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I’ve been enjoying the Gotham After Midnight series almost entirely because of the ridiculously unique artwork provided by Kelly Jones and Michelle Madsen.

All Star Batman and Robin #10 – Review

By Frank Miller (writer), Jim Lee (pencils), Scott Williams (inks), Alex Sinclair (colors) I’ve got one word to describe this issue: Yawn. I literally fell asleep reading this book.

Detective Comics #847 (RIP) – Review

By Paul Dini (writer), Dustin Nguyen (pencils), Derek Fridolfs (inks), John Kalisz (colors) Decent, solid story here – definitely better than what’s going on in Robin. Nothing epic or ground breaking, but good nonetheless. I do have a gripe, however, and a big one at that. Paul Dini has managed to make Hush into one [...]
