Detective Comics Annual 11 Review
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…

Batman Annual 27 Comic Book Review
by
DC Writers: Fabian Nicieza, Mandy McMurray Art: J. Calafiore, Kelley Jones, Mark McKenna Colours: Nathan Eyring, Michelle Madsen Reaction to the Batman Reborn event has definitely been a surprise. Not in the sense that it has sold copies (that was a given) but how quickly fans have warmed to the Dick Grayson and Damien duo.…

Batman: Arkham Asylum PS3 Review
by
Simply put, Batman Arkham Asylum is the best superhero videogame ever made. Why are so many comic book videogames substandard? As a staunch comic geek first and a videogame enthusiast a very close second, I often find it baffling that so little effort is put into superhero or comic-based games. Part of this is perhaps…

Batman: The Widening Gyre #1 Comic Review
by
DC Writer: Kevin Smith Pencils: Walt Flanagan Inks: Art Thibert Colours: Art Lyon Following the critically lambasted Cacophony miniseries, Kevin Smith and Walt Flanagan unite once more to bring us another ill-conceived Batman limited-series.

Greek Street #3 Comic Book Review
by
Vertigo Writer: Peter Milligan Pencils: Davide Gianfelice Colours: Patricia Mulvihill Issue 1 of Greek Street was quite possibly one of the bleakest, unpleasant comics ever published by Vertigo. While the series has yet to top supposed protagonist Eddie’s self-castration, Peter Milligan has managed to reach the end of Issue 3 without a single joyous moment.…

Sweet Tooth #1 Comic Book Review
by
Vertigo Story, Art: Jeff Lemire Colours: Jose Villarrubia DC/Vertigo continue their Machiavellian ploy of releasing the latest first issues at just $1.00, gradually inclining my monthly comic bill into something that could buy a Third World country. Still, when the new series in question is Sweet Tooth, the lingering new effort from indie writer/artist Jeff…

Detective Comics #855 Comic Book Review
by
DC Writer: Greg Rucka Artist: J.H. William III, Cully Hamner Colours: Dave Stewart, Laura Martin The art on Detective Comics has so far been dazzling, J.H. William III’s realistic pencils and elaborate panel compositions set off by Dave Stewart’s measured use of red. William’s is also capable of versatility, shifting styles when the tone demands…
