Batman #702 – Review

By: Grant Morrison (writer), Tony Daniel (artist), Ian Hannin (colors) The Story: R.I.P. The Missing Chapter, Part Two: Batman’s Last Case. This story fills in the gaps in the story of Batman and the Justice League prepping to face Darkseid, and what happens when they finally do. What’s Good: Batman #701 had sub-wowed me, so [...]

Batman #681 (RIP) – Review

By Grant Morrison (writer), Tony Daniel (pencils), Sandu Florea (inks), Guy Major (colors) The Story: Lots of loose ends are tied up in this conclusion, but there’s plenty of dangling threads left open. The Joker, knowing his role has come to an end, flees the scene as Batman puts a lockdown on Arkham. Despite beating [...]

Batman #680 (RIP) – Review

By Grant Morrison (writer), Tony Daniel (pencils), Sandu Florea (inks), Guy Major (colors) This issue’s probably as straight forward as we’ll get with Morrison’s RIP story arc. It’s made apparent from the beginning that the Batman of Zur-En Arrh is only a temporary persona and not built to last this long (or for showdowns of [...]

Batman #679 (RIP) – Review

By Grant Morrison (story), Tony Daniel (pencils), Sandu Florea (inks), Guy Major (colors) SPOILER ALERT Wait, what? Alfred is Bruce’s dad? If true and Dr. Hurt is indeed Thomas Wayne, well, this changes everything. Like the last two issues of this RIP story, things are disjointed and hard to follow at times. However, there’s a [...]

Batman #678 (RIP) – Review

By Grant Morrison (writer), Tony Daniel (pencils), Sandu Florea (inks), Guy Major (colors) In many ways, Batman RIP is very similar to Final Crisis. Both stories are confusing, abstract, and fragmented, but because Batman’s story is only nestled within the “Bat-Universe” there’s less tabs to put on characters making the story a bit easier to [...]

Batman #677 (RIP) – Review

By Grant Morrison (story), Tony Daniel (pencils) Sandu Florea (inks) Guy Major (colors) One thing I appreciate about this story is that it keeps the reader guessing. It’s too early to say if this story will be heralded as “classic” (remember the big let down that was Hush?), but so far, I’ve been thoroughly entertained. [...]

DC Universe Zero – Review

By Grant Morrison and Geoff Johns (writer) George Pérez, Tony Daniel, J.G. Jones, Aaron Lopresti, Ivan Reis, Philip Tan and Carlos Pacheco (art) Other than Wonder Woman, Batman, Green Lantern, and the occasional Superman book, I’m not exactly in touch with the DC Universe these day. Well, if you’re in the same boat as me, [...]

Batman #674 – Review

By Grant Morrison (writer), Tony Daniel (pencils), Sandu Florea (inks), Guy Major (colors) Let’s face it; within these past few months almost every Batman story has been easily forgettable. Ra’s Al Ghul’s resurrection wasn’t monumental, Paul Dini’s lame one-shots still consist of unimportant villains, and Frank Miller and Jim Lee still continue to put out [...]

Batman #673 – Review

By: Grant Morrison (Writer), Tony Daniel (Pencils), Jonathan Glapion & Sandu Florea (Inks), Guy Major (Colors) Now this is the Grant Morrison Batman’s been missing. Before he was kind of telling us straight up stories with some outlandish ideas thrown here and there. But this issue… well in true Morrison fashion, it’s a mind bender! [...]
