New 52 – Batman #12 review

So the best issue of any bat-title since the release of The Dark Knight Rises is actually about a teenage girl. Can’t say that I saw that one coming but I’m happy at least something good has come…

New 52 – Batman #11 review

Let’s not kid ourselves. You and I both know this review is a waste of time. There isn’t anyone out there who is on the fence about buying this book after reading the past 10 issues. There also…

Batman Vol. 1: The Court of Owls review

I’m sure you’ve all noticed that I’ve started doing a lot more reviews of graphic novels. That’s because there’s 3 kinds of comic book buyers (not counting the digital folk, you guys are a brand new breed): the…

If you’re havin’ comic problems, I feel bad for you son, I’ve written 99 bad reviews but Batman ain’t one. Each issue of this book looks better than the last. I’m always amazed by the dark, moody atmosphere that…

New 52 – Batman #6 review

My expectations were awfully high going into issue #6 of Batman. To me a 10/10 comic isn’t just one that’s good– memorable. It’s one that I want to read over and over again. It’s a book that I…

New 52 – Batman #5 review

Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s Face the Court is a portrait of a hero struggling in his darkest hour. The Dark Knight has been trapped in a labyrinth for a week. His body aches, his armor is shattered;…
