Battle for the Cowl: Catch-Up

So, Battle for the Cowl #2 comes out this week, furthering the storyline of the Arkham breakout, the group of supervillains led by Black Mask, and, most importantly, the fight for who’ll become the next Batman.  As you can tell from the picture at right, last month’s picture of Dick Grayson as Batman was just […]

Honeymoon's Over for Dinah and Ollie

If the honeymoon wasn’t over when Ollie (aka Green Arrow) was abducted by the Amazons and Dinah (aka Black Canary) killed the Ollie-look-a-like, then issue #31 of Justice League of America certainly documents the beginning of what can only be some real problems for the couple.  In the aftermath of the craptacular Final Crisis, the […]

Someone smarter than me did something cool

Didn’t understand Grant Morrison’s Batman R.I.P.?  Don’t worry…most of us didn’t.  The highly anticipated storyline had many readers (not me) swear never to buy another Batman comic as long as Morrison was involved.  Mostly because of it’s incoherent plotline and unfulfilling ending.    Though, I have to admit, I kinda dug the redesign they did on […]
