Arkham Reborn #1 (of 3) Review
by
DC Dec 09, $2.99 Writer: David Hine Art: Jeremy Haun Colours: John Kalisz While the Batman: Battle for the Cowl event pretty much failed to deliver on its every promise, the one pleasant surprise to come from it was David Hine and Jeremy Haun’s Arkham Asylum one-shot. Engrossing and ominous, it oozed with a Lovecraftian…

Batman Reborn: Batman #691 Comic Review
by
DC Writer: Judd Winick Pencils: Mark Bagley Inks: Rob Hunter Colours: Pete Pantazis As the ‘Long Shadows’ arc thankfully reaches its conclusion, I think it’s fair to say that Judd Winick’s run on Batman hasn’t gone down too well with readers or reviewers.

Perhaps it’s Philip Bond’s (Vimanarama) wonderfully energetic art, the…

Whereas Sinestro was a fascinating villain, wily…

by
DC Writers: Fabian Nicieza, Mandy McMurray Art: Tom Mandrake, Kelly Jones Colours: Nathan Eyring, Michelle Madsen While the first part of Fabien Nicieza’s Azrael story ‘The Eighth Deadly Sin’ was pretty underwhelming, it’s nice to see this conclusion improve on it considerably. This is mainly due to the appearance of the Question, a character who…

Uncanny X-Men #516 Comic Book Review
by
Marvel Writer: Matt Fraction Pencils: Greg Land Inks: Jay Leisten Colours: Justin Ponsor Magneto’s back, and he’s more civil than ever before! Perhaps the biggest surprise with this issue was the way in which Matt Fraction handles the X-Men’s most formidable foe’s return. Not with a world-threatening bang, but with as understated an entrance as…
