    Doom Patrol #1 Comic Book Review

    DC Writer: Keith Giffen Pencils: Matthew Clark Inks: Livesay Colours: Guy Major The trouble with allowing Grant Morrison to work on any established series is that he has a style of writing that few can successfully follow on from. His surreal yet intelligent 90s relaunches of Doom Patrol and Animal Man have almost been curses…

  • Justice Society of America #29 Review

    Justice Society of America #29 Review

    DC Writer: Bill Willingham, Matthew Sturges Art: Jesus Merino Colours: Allen Passalaqua As proudly stated across the cover, a new creative team marks a new start for Justice Society of America.

    Dave Gibbons Interview: On the Digital Artist 2009 Awards and Watchmen

    I recently had the opportunity to talk to comic book veteran and Watchman co-creator Dave Gibbons.

    Batman Reborn: Gotham City Sirens #2 Review

    DC Writer: Paul Dini Art: Guillem March Colours: Jose Villarrubia Given the overall exceptional quality of the various titles contained within the Batman Reborn label, there had to be at least one stinker. Gotham City Sirens is by far the weakest of these releases, with the usually reliable Paul Dini failing to make the trio…

    Batman Reborn: Batman #688 Comic Review

    DC Writer: Judd Winick Pencils: Mark Bagley Inks: Rob Hunter Colours: Ian Hannin Whereas last month’s issue of Batman saw Dick Grayson accept his role as Wayne’s successor, this month we see Gotham’s underworld react to the new, media-friendly Dark Knight; more specifically Penguin and Two-Face, the later of whom isn’t convinced by the Bat-impostor.…

    Batman Reborn: Batman and Robin #2 Review

    DC Writer: Grant Morrison Artist: Frank Quitely Colours: Alex Sinclair Grant Morrison’s bizarre retro romp continues with a brutal assault on Gotham’s finest by Le Cirque D’etrange, who live up to their name in every way possible. It also hints at another consequence of Dick Grayson assuming the cape and cowl; how long will it…

    Batman Reborn: Detective Comics #854 Review

    DC Writer: Greg Rucka Art: J.H. Williams III, Cully Hamner Colours: Dave Stewart I must confess that I had no real interest in the new Batwoman fronted Detective Comics, and only bought the issue for J.H. William’s art. But I’m glad to be proven wrong. Greg Rucka’s work on this series has the making of…
