Review: World’s Finest #6
I’ve strayed completely from the New 52 Earth 2 things until this issue. Why? For it contains Damian Wayne. Do be warned of spoilers.
Batfamily #0s
Okay, so the title is a bit misleading. Not all the Batfamily has had a zero issue so far, and I haven’t picked all the zero issues yet. This will look at five titles though going in “order” of their crime fighting debut: Batman, Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood/Outlaws, Batman and Robin. Expect spoilers.
DCnU Timeline v3
Been a while, huh? Some of the latest #0 issues though has given some nice input to the timeline that I just couldn’t ignore it. Due note spoilers (mainly beneath the timeline) and that this has a very Bat-family focus on the new parts.

Review: Batman and Robin 12
The end of the Terminus arc isn’t the pull for me here. To be honest, none of the Terminus stuff was. The real story in my eyes over these last few issues has been the War of the Robins, which by chance seems to end in this issue as well.
Spoiler warning.
Batman Inc. in the eye of Leviathan #1
Batman Incorporated is back and in full swing within the new 52 universe. And it now comes with 100% more Batcow!
Review: Batman & Robin #7
The past few issues were a bit boring, at least when they focused on Nobody’s history. This issue though is amazing, start to finish. To such a degree, that I’ll be shocked and apalled if fellow read/RANT member ikeebear rates this lower than a 4 (really, I’d say 4.5) for his upcoming ‘One Sentence Review, Part 27’.
SPOILER WARNING! – seriously
Batman Inc: Leviathan Strikes!
Stephanie Brown kicks butt as Batgirl! Dick Grayson is Batman… Wait what??
Review: Batman and Robin #4
Amazing issue.
Review: Batman and Robin #3
So I loved the first issue, the second left a slightly sour taste in my mouth though for how Damian was portrayed. How will this one stand up though?
SPOILER WARNING!
Review: Batman and Robin #2
The newest Dynamic Duo races off in this second issue by Peter Tomasi!
SPOILER WARNING!
Retrospective: Teen Titans vol 3 (part 8)
Time for another Retrospective! Issues 55-78. For the few who have kept up with my Retrospective, I’ll be going at these issues a bit differently. Mostly I’m going to try to go through each arc rather quickly. This is mostly for the next few arcs I didn’t find that enjoyable.
Retrospective: Teen Titans vol 3 (part 6)
I’ll be looking at the One Year Later stuff now with issues 34-49. And I’m going to say now that some of these issues have to be Johns’ worst in this series.
Retrospective: Teen Titans vol 3 (part 3)
I’m continuing my Retrospective for the Teen Titans with the Teens Titans/Legion of Superheroes crossover and issues 16-19 (collected in trade as The Future is Now). Handling a lot with these issues, so I’ll try to keep it from being too long. I do want to state though that these issues are some of my favorites of this Teen Titans group and Johns is joined by writer Mark Waid for the Legion cross over.
Retrospective: Teen Titans vol 3 (part 2)
Superboy #1 is rebooting Superboy from scratch. That and answers from Scott Lobdell in a Comic Vine Q/A session also points that despite the new Universe having a Teen Titans, that the last incarnation of the team is having their history completely erased. So with that in mind, I’d like to continue with my retrospective taking a look at issues TT 1/2, and 8-15 (also collected currently in trade form Family Lost and Beast Boys & Girls).
Review: Batman and Robin #1
Last week I felt Daniel had dropped the ball when writing Detective Comics #1 (though some newer readers like Comic Kata thought otherwise). This week Tomasi is the one taking on the Batman oriented issue in Batman & Robin.
SPOILER WARNING!
Retrospective: Teen Titans vol 3 (part 1)
I’m a fan of the Teen Titans, especially the latest incarnation that went from 2003-2011 and as this relaunch makes it seem their entire history may be erased, I wanted to give them a farewell starting with issues 1-7 (also collected in trade form as “A Kid’s Game” or the soon to be released Teen Titans Omnibus 1). Like usual, beware of spoilers.
DC’s August 2010 Solicitations Preview
Batman and Robin #13 Cover
There hasn’t been much chatter about this series on this site, but I’m here to remedy that.
Spoiler warning for Batman and Robin 12!
Top 5 Best Comics of August 2009!
And the Summer’s over! Really? That…went fast. I had fun, though. Hope you all did, too. Back to school, kiddies! I read 20 comics in August, and these were the best.
5. Invincible Iron Man #16
Matt Fraction’s writing is absolutely top-notch. Yes, this story will read better as a whole, but our connection to Tony, Pepper, and Maria is so strong, it hardly matters. The only thing that brings this issue, and the entire series, down, is Salvador Larroca’s Greg Land-esque art.
4. Ultimate Comics: Avengers #1
Speaking of Summer, you like those blockbusters that accompany the season, right? Well then, this is the comic for you! Just some awesome-kickass, supercool fun! Mark Millar gives it to ya, and Carlos Pacheco makes it look pretty. This opening salvo features a bombastic helicopter fight and a terrifying new villain.
3. Secret Six #12
Like my previous selection, this too is filled with action and good times, only with more twisted villainy. But this comic also has character and soul, and that counts for a lot. This is Jeannette’s issue to shine, and I think she blinded me. Carlos Pacheco’s beautiful interiors certainly contribute to UCA’s placement, but you know what? I’d put Nicola Scott up against Carlos Pacheco any day. Yeah, you read that right.
2. Batman and Robin #3
Holy hell, Batman! This series just gets better and better! The first and second issue topped my list in their respective months, and it’s only by some Marvel miracle that this one didn’t. Since I don’t have a proper review of this issue, I want to go over a few things:
Professor Pyg’s “sexy disco hot.” Who else had this song in their head?
Any guesses on who was watching Alfred? Could it be the same person who spied on Bruce & Jezebel all those issues ago?
Awhile ago, DC said, “Scarlet isn’t who you think she is.” That was a damn lie, and I’m pretty sure Red Hood is who you think he is too.
1. Daredevil #500
A phenomenal conclusion to what turned out to be a great run. Brubaker did DD proud, and definitely cast away Bendis’ shadow. On top of that, you get a great short story and a reprint of possibly the best Daredevil comic ever! Yeah, I’m pretty sure that this isn’t just the best comic in August, it’s the best Marvel comic of the year.
read/RANT!
