Batman may be the world’s greatest detective and martial artist, but he isn’t infallible, as much as some sections of fandom want you to believe. And this week, we look at three stories where Batman loses in very different ways. Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia Superheavy (Batman V.2 #41-50) Cold Days (Batman V.3 #51-53) If you…
The man of two worlds. A hero to both, and a traitor to them all. How do you pull the lies from the truth in the story of Adam Strange – and once you have, whatâs left? Strange Adventures #12 is written by Tom King, drawn by Mitch Gerads and Evan Shaner, and lettered by…
BatChat is back for episode 2, and it’s the final episode! OK, no it’s not, but it is focusing on three tales of Batman’s possible final days. The Dark Knight Returns (Batman: The Dark Knight Returns #1-4) Some of These Days (Batman Annual V.3 #2) The Last Batman Story-? (Batman V.1 #300) If youâd like,…
Yeah, you knew this was coming. This week, on Superman & The Authority #2, itâs an assemble-the-team montage of sorts, as Superman and Manchester Black bring their worldâs best, brightest and most dangerously effective team together in their efforts to make the world a better place. Written by Grant Morrison, drawn by Mikel JanĂn, Fico…
No more secrets, no more lies. Alanna has finally confronted Adam about the truth of what happened to their daughter. The truth may soon set Aleea free, but Adam Strange is desperate for it to remain under wraps. The real question is, how desperate? Strange Adventures #11 is Written by Tom King, drawn by Mitch…
Alanna learns the full truth of what really happened during the Pykkt invasion of Rann – and learns in a letter from Mr. Terrific that her husband has been keeping some major secrets from her. What happens when the story of her husband meets the cold, hard, and awful truth of what heâs done? Strange…
The truth comes out – or most of it does. Enough for the Justice League to publicly decry the actions of Adam Strange during his first war with the Pykkts, just as Earth is embroiled in its own Pykkt invasion. The public, however, doesnât appear to be all that concerned with Adamâs unheroic actions –…
Itâs an off week for all the main Bat titles, so weâre digging into the DC Vault for this weekâs BatChat, specifically the digital issue #3 of Let Them Live!: Unpublished Tales from the DC Vault, a tale entitled âFlesh Made Wordâ written by Scott Bryan Wilson, drawn by John Paul Leon, colored by Dave…
Will Nevin: This is a heckuva week, but for mostly the wrong reasons â because while Bat/Cat #1 (I canât believe Tom King resisted his urge to go there again) was overwhelmingly fine, Batman #104 is â and I say this with as little hyperbole as possible â an embarrassing look at when a comic…
Remember 2013? When Lance Armstrong copped to being a drug cheat and âStar Trek Into Darknessâ beat âThe Final Frontierâ and âFaith of the Heartâ as the worst Star Trek thing ever made? And you could go outside? Those were the days. The Splash The hallmark of a Zack Snyder movie â outside of his…
Just when you think you have all the answers, itâs time to change the questions. The Splash In the fracas between writer Tom King, artist Jae Lee and comic book fans who want works created by people who arenât intolerable assholes, there are no winners. Not King, who now looks like a bully for taking…
