Or – “The Blood Puking Will Make For An Interesting Animated Series…” When DC relaunched their universe last fall, they included a little something for everyone, from furthest reaches of their massive character library. Of all the relaunch titles, the one that appealed to me the least was probably Red Lanterns, a book that is paradoxically written by a writer whose work I have really enjoyed on other titles. With the fifth issue of the new order, I am ready to dip my toe into the sea of burning blood-vomit to see if my initial dismissal of Atrocitus and his…

Remember when J. Michael Straczynski walked away from the Superman and Wonder Woman titles to focus on the second volume of the highly successful Superman: Earth One? Well we’ll get to see the sequel arrive in bookstores this year.
Warner Bros. Interactive has announced that the release date for Gotham City Imposters has been pushed back to February. Considering the original release date was supposed to be this month, and the game company is still in open beta, the shift doesn’t come as a complete surprise.
If you were lucky enough to get your hands on the new LEGO DC Super Heroes line, then you saw the add for the upcoming LEGO Batman 2. Today, the company made the announcement official.
There’s probably a good reason why DC did not release the name of the mysterious cloaked woman that was seen at the end of Flashpoint and all throughout the New 52 number one issues. The company finally gave her a name, and it could be read a couple of different ways.
Having defeated slowed the Followers of Cain from taking over Gotham City, there is little to keep Jonah Hex in the city. But Gotham doesn’t seem to want to let Hex go, and Hex is once again in the deep and smelly stuff this issue.
Or – “…And A New Beginning.” And Welcome to the New Year! (Sorry, I’m not going to kiss you. I’m a happily married man, after all. But, that doesn’t mean there isn’t some kissing to be had, Faithful Spoilerite.) Often, when I consider what comics I want to Retro Review, I find myself gravitating towards the years wherein I really discovered comics as an art form, circa my early teens in the mid-Reagan-era. When I started thinking about what book would make the perfect start for a new year full of promise and high hopes, one thing was certain: Alan…
When you’re just a man, there are a number of ways to die. If you’re Batman, there are a number of ways you can prevent that from happening… ice cream may be one of them.
Or – “Let’s See YOU Get By Underwater, As Well As He Does On The Ground!” One of the great surprises of the New 52 for me has been which characters have grabbed the spotlight and held it. Batman and Superman have been mediocre to okay, but books featuring Animal Man, Andrew Bennett, O.M.A.C. and Voodoo have held the most readability for me. And amazingly, the orange-scalemail-wearing butt of a million cheap stand-up jokes has raised himself from Superfriends-also-ran to butt-kicking hero-king in the space of a few issues, and now he has ventured deeper into the mysterious oceans than…
As 2011 comes to an end, and another long holiday weekend is upon us, why not kick back and watch a superhero movie or two? The Green Lantern Extended Cut movie is available on Blu-Ray that gives us more backstory on the characters.
While some of the LEGO sets that the company releases are stand alone pieces of perfection, the best part about the building toy is taking the parts and making something original. LEGO has a series of DC Hero Factory-esque characters coming our way (Batman, Green Lantern, and The Joker), but if you want your own characters to join the line, you’ll have to make your own. Which is exactly what DeviantArt’s Retinence has done with Harley Quinn.
It’s probably going to be a really slow week for comic book news as most companies are closed to wind down the year. DC Comics is releasing teaser content this week in the form of the covers to issue eight of their titles. Today, it’s Action Comics and Superman.
The Court of Owls supposedly has been pulling strings, and killing people in and around Gotham for centuries, which is odd, because we haven’t heard about them until now.
Justice League is supposed to be the flagship title for the New 52. The first few issues have been rather good, can it continue to fulfill or is this just wishful thinking? Find out after the jump. . .
