New 52 – Batman Inc. #10 review

The gatefold cover of Batman Inc. #10 is one of the only ones I’ve seen that actually spoils the comic’s ending. I like the cover, but it really does take all the impact out of the story’s final…

New 52 – Batman Inc. #9 review

I’m writing this as I pack for my trip to New York so forgive me for being brief, but Batman Inc. #9 was a bit of a cluster***k of ideas. We’re constantly weaving in and out between scenes…

New 52 – Batman Inc. #8 review

Even if you don’t usually read Batman Incorporated, issue #8 is required reading. Like it or hate it, what happens here is going to resonate in all other Batman comics for (ideally) years to come. I tried to stay…

New 52 – Batman Incorporated #3 review

Worth the wait? Yes. As I said in the Upcoming Comics article, I love the idea of Matches Malone. I think he’s the most underused weapon in Batman’s arsenal. I wish Batman would infiltrate the mob and sniff…

Batman Incorporated Vol. 1: Deluxe Edition review

Upon setting aside my hatred for the Batman Incorporated concept, I actually enjoyed this book. It’s fun. Some parts are smart, some parts are outright dumb, the art is almost always beautiful, and none of it is predictable….
