Wayne’s Comics Podcast #94: Kyle Higgins & Dave Romeo

Posted on by

It’s been a terrific week for fans of Superman and Batman, and we get to celebrate that here at the Wayne’s Comics Podcast with a special 94th episode!

First up is a great interview with Nightwing and upcoming Batman Beyond scribe Kyle Higgins, who talks about both gigs and how he got into writing for the Batman family of comics. He discusses the current storyline with Dick Grayson in Chicago and gives a couple of hints about what we might expect in the coming months.

Then I talk with Dave Romeo from Comics on the Green in Scranton, Pennsylvania, about how his great store is doing (and the industry as well). Their site is located at comicsonthegreen.com!

Everything wraps up my “faster than a speeding bullet” review of the new Superman film Man of Steel, so don’t miss it!

REVIEW: Superman Beyond #0

Posted on by

Much praise has be heaped upon the Batman Beyond universe. It gave us a look at what might come in the next twenty years, and gave us a new group of heroes to root for. While we’ve seen the adventures of Batman, and the Justice League, we’ve only seen Superman here and there. Now he get’s his own story, just in time for everything to change forever.

Batman Beyond to return in 2012

Posted on by

If you pay close attention to words, you often find surprises buried deep in the jibber-jabbering of public relations releases.  Of course that means you actually need to read to the end of the jibber-jabber…

DC quietly announced that Batman Beyond will indeed return to store shelves in 2012, presumably (though not confirmed) with Adam Beechen, Chris Batista, and Rich Perotta telling tales of Batman in the fututre.

To be honest, Batman Beyond, Justice League Beyond, and Superman Beyond were titles that I actually expected to stick around following the relaunch as they really don’t tie into DCnU continuity directly, and in Superman Beyond #0′s case, barely getting in the spotlight before the change.

While Batman Beyond is the only book officially announced at this point, I do expect to see more Superman Beyond and Justice League Beyond books on the way in 2012 as well.

REVIEW: Batman Beyond v4.2

Posted on by

If you’re Batman you have a plan to take out just about everyone, including the Justice League. Terry McGinnis may have practiced a routine a time or two to please the old man, but when push comes to shove, and the Justice League is standing the way, will he be able to take them down?

REVIEW: Batman Beyond #1

Posted on by

Batman Beyond has had several mini-series over the years, and it looks like DC believes enough in the character and Earth-12 to give him an ongoing. And what better way to kick the series off than to have family members entangled in a hostage situation, and forcing Terry to confront the Justice League?

DIGITAL COMICS: Batman Beyond goes day-and-date

Posted on by

One of my predictions for 2011 is that DC will announce more day-and-date digital releases than its competitor (listen to this weekend’s Major Spoilers Podcast), and the company is already getting off to a good start with the announcement that Batman Beyond will get the digital comic treatment delivered the same day it arrives in stores.

“Batman Beyond was a critically acclaimed, fan favorite animated series that still has a large number of fans to this day,” said Hank Kanalz, SVP Digital, DC Entertainment, “By releasing the ongoing comic series digitally, we’re hoping we reach that audience and bring back any fans of the show who may be lapsed comic readers.”

ComiXology was one of the most downloaded applications for the iPad in 2010, and with a potential readership of 2 million people, and the large Batman Beyond fan-base out there, this is more than likely going to be a win-win for everyone.

Written by Adam Beechen with art by Ryan Benjamin and John Stanisci, BATMAN BEYOND #1 tells the continuing story of Terry McGinnis, the successor to Bruce Wayne and the Batman legacy, set well into the DC Universe’s future. Last year’s BATMAN BEYOND miniseries and the original 24-issue series are currently available digitally.

The biggest downer in all of this is that the digital edition will have the same price as the print version – $2.99.  As I mentioned last year, when the price doesn’t go down for the digital edition, the big winner is the publisher.

Currently, DC Comics offers Justice League: Generation Lost, Young Justice, and the Driver Special as day-and-date releases.

Top Ten: Alternate Superheroes

Posted on by

Over the years comics have given us a staggering number of alternate realities, many of them just thinly veiled excuses to put our favorite superheroes into improbable situations with minimum clean-up. But sometimes alternate realities and alternate futures yield something more, sometimes they accomplish exactly what they should; to allow us to examine a character under a different light. What follows is a list of the best, most successful or so-ridiculous-they-come-back-out-the-other-side-and-are-cool-again characters from alternate dimensions or futures. To make it on this list a character had to be A) interesting B) be from the same company or creator that owns its originator character and C) not be from the Marvel Apes universe.
