Gotham Gazette: Batman Dead? - “Battle for the Cowl” begins here (and, oddly enough, not with Batman: Battle for the Cowl #1,out next week, but DC’s doing their best to make it impossible to follow the timeline of Batman ever since Batman R.I.P. started, so why expect things to sta...

New Avengers #50 - Yes! The entire issue is the team’s reaction (and sheer disbelief) to Norman Osborne’s announcement of his new team of Dark Avengers. Great stuff including Spidey hitting a serious groove with his comic quips about the team, Osborne, Venom, and Wolverine’s sex li...

Amazing Spider-Man #587 - Spidey goes to jail. In terms of action this one’s pretty lightweight. In terms of story, however, we get a look how far someone charged with upholding the law will bend it for their own purposes. There’s some nice stuff here, mainly between the dirty cops frami...

Red Sonja #41 - If I told you the whole issue was a campfire scene between Red Sonja and Osin you might be not be all the fired up to add this to your collection. What if I told you that the campfire tale told that night involved two armies of ninjas out to decapitate each other, battle-crazed cavew...

How is Darkseid, ruler of Apokolips, mass-murderer, bad-ass villain, finally taken down? Superman sings him a song. I’m not going to get into why this works, but Grant Morison’s final issue of Final Crisis does give us the Big Blue Boyscout taking down one of DC’s mightiest baddies...

Okay, when you throw-in three of my favorite things (Batman, movies, and LEGOs) you’ve got my attention. Check out sweet little film from DAVE School which includes references to the old Batman TV-show, Batman: The Animated Series, and some of the films, too. Pretty impressive look, and how ab...

Final Crisis #6 (of 7) - I’d say this series went off the rail awhile back but I’m not so sure it even started on the tracks. The latest issue gives us more battles, three Flashes, two Atoms, and the return of Batman (finally!), though the final panel doesn’t portend anything posit...

In celebration of the election and inauguration of Barack Obama (a self-admitted comic book nerd, seriously - how cool is that!) Marvel Comics is putting out a special comic featuring everyone’s favorite wall-crawler, Spider-Man. Amazing Spider-Man #583 (hitting comic shops Wednesday, January ...

I’ve been pretty happy with how Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 has been shaping up (aside from the pretty lame recent Fray arc), much more so than Angel’s season in Hell for which I’ve completely lost all interest. In the latest issue, penned by longtime Buffy write Jane Espenso...

DC just shipped out trade paperbacks collecting the six-issue mini-series Huntress: Year One. Priced at $17.99 (hell, anything more than FREE is too much) I’m not exactly sure who the target audience is for this, but my bet is those who thought the (thankfully) short-lived Birds of Prey televi...
