In this, we meet 14 year old Selina Kyle, living with her single mom and her mom’s abusive boyfriend.

Wonderful mental health discussion in super hero comic aimed at young girls

DC Super Hero Girls: Out of the Bottle by Shea Fontana (author), Marchelo DiChiara (illustrator), Agnes Garbowska (illustrator)

For those unfamiliar with the DC Super Hero Girls franchise the concept is that many classic DC comics characters are teenagers attending Super Hero High School, focusing on the female supers. Another neat twist is that villains aren’t villains yet, they might be morally flexible but they are still overall more good than bad. My eleven and seven year old daughters have been fans for several years now. They have watched the animated shows and movies, and read two of the chapter books, but only […]

Batman’s Finest Villains

September 12, 2017 by J Leave a Comment

I’m new to Batbooks, having only dipped my toe in with the launch of the all-ages Gotham Academy title and then being blown away by the short-lived We Are Robin book. If the rest of the Batbooks are anything like what Scott Snyder did/is doing in All-Star Batman, I have been missing out. Ends of the Earth is a new arc, and you won’t need Volume 1 (My Own Worst Enemy) to jump in. Ends of the Earth cedes center stage to the Bat’s rogues […]

The Darkness that Serves the Light

This review includes minor spoilers of a twenty year old zeitgeisty comic that you probably already know about. On its face, Batman: Knightfall is the novelization of the (in)famous storyline in which the Caped Crusader suffers a broken back at the knee of the villain Bane and must temporarily cede the batsuit to another. Moviegoers will recognize the major plot points from the final movie in the Nolan Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises. Comic nerds will be familiar with the storyline for its supremely awesome […]

“Something, something Joker doesn’t have a face, something something Batman is so Edgy and Dark, something, something it’ll be AWESOME!” –Creative notes scrawled on a crumpled napkin by a DC exec during a coked-out party.

Yabba Dabba Dude, This is Deep

Any comic book nerd needs a hookup – a trusted advisor on new and interesting books. Like a counselor, best friend, or record store employee, the a nerd’s comic book expert has to know their client and know the lay of the land. What will the nerd like, what will the nerd hate, and, perhaps most importantly, what will expand the nerd’s horizons? The people of Titan Moon Comics have never steered me wrong, so when they told me that the new DC/Hanna-Barbera mashups were […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
