Doom Patrol #1 Comic Book Review
by
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
by
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.

by
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
by
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
by
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…
