Matt Fraction’s Batman #1 Review

Written by: Matt Fraction Art by: Jorge Jimenez Coloring by: Tomeu Morey Lettering by: Clayton Cowles Editing by: Jessica Berbey, Rob Levin I’m not going to lie, it’s not hard for a Batman comic to reel me in and keep me reading. I enjoyed little over 3/4 of Tom King’s run, and about the same […]

Batman: Robin Lives! Review

Writer: Jim Starlin Penciller: Jim Aparo Inker: Mike Decarlo Letterer: John Costanza Colorist: Adrienne Roy Assistant Editor: Dan Raspler Editor: Denny O’Neil This is a strange comic to read for me.

Batman / Spawn #1 Review

Written by: Todd McFarlane Art by: Greg Capullo Inking by: Todd McFarlane Coloring by: Dave McCaig Lettering by: Tom Napolitano Editing by: Ben Abernathy, Marie Javins Batman / Spawn is a rare book where I think it would have been better with no narration.

Batman: Killing Time #1 Review

Written by: Tom King Art by: David Marquez Coloring by: Alejandro Sanchez Lettering by: Clayton Cowles I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, Tom King books usually go one of two ways. Some of his books are written better for trade, and then there are books you can’t help but froth at the […]

I Am Batman #6 Review

Written by: John Ridley Art by: Len Lashly Coloring by: Rex Lokus Lettering by: Tady Peteri I Am Batman #6 may be the most important issue of the series since the first one, even more so than Future State. Rather than have several Batmen in one city where they compete for attention, Jace is getting […]

Batman/Catwoman Special Review

Written by: Tom King Art by: John Paul Leon, Bernard Chang, Shawn Crystal, Mitch Gerads Coloring by: Dave Stewart Lettering by: Clayton Cowles This Batman/Catwoman series has been all over the place for me, and this special kind of made it worse.
