The Great Ten #1 (of 10) Review
by
DC Jan 10, $2.99 Story: Tony Bedard Pencils: Scott McDaniel Inks: Andy Owens Colours: The Hories Of everything to have arisen from 52, the Great Ten (essentially China’s equivalent of the Justice League) were one of the most interesting additions to the DCU.

The Ghoul #1 Review
by
IDW Nov 09 $3.99 Story: Steve Niles Art: Bernie Wrightson Colours: Tom Smith Try as he may, Steve Niles has never quite outdone 30 Days of Night.

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. While I’ve enjoyed Winick’s quieter moments between Dick and Alfred, I think…

Blackest Night: Batman #3 Comic Review
by
DC Story: Peter J. Tomasi Pencils: Ardian Syaf Inks: Vicente Cifuentes Colours: Nei Ruffino Of all the Blackest Night spin-offs, Batman’s was never going to be the most significant, but it had the potential to be the most personal. While everyone involved in the big event has lost someone, the murder of Dick Grayson’s parents…
