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. I got into comics because I wanted to read more of the Red Hood after the animated movie, Batman: Under the Red Hood. That […]

Knight Terrors #1 Review

Written by: Joshua Williamson Art by: Giuseppe Camuncoli, Stefano Nesi, Caspar Wijngaard Coloring by: Frank Martin, Caspar Wijngaard Lettering by: Troy Peteri Editing by: Ben Abernathy For a book that’s supposed to be the first issue of an event, it’s really weird that it feels like issue #2.

Green Arrow #1 Review

Written by: Joshua Williamson Art by: Sean Izaakse Coloring by: Romulo Fajardo Jr. Lettering by: Troy Peteri Editing by: Ben Abernathy Now, I would never say I’m a huge Green Arrow guy.

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 Incorporated #1 Review

Written by: Ed Brisson Art by: John Timms Coloring by: Rex Lokus Lettering by: Clayton Cowles Editing by: Ben Abernathy Batman Incorporated has a history of putting the spotlight on characters who wouldn’t normally get the time of day.
