Review: Batman and Robin #...

Judd Winick. His name polarizes comic book readers it seems. Gracing everything from Green Lantern to Green Arrow, and up to and including Outsiders and Batman, the writer returns to the Batman universe for a three issue arc on Batman and Robin with a story centered on the character he brought back from the grave. Jason Todd returns in this issue, but just what is up his sleeve is anyone's guess. Onward ho!

Pick Five: Worst Comic Boo...

Kids today have it so easy. They have the internet; they don’t need to get up off the couch to change the channel and in the last 10 years we have seen some great movies based on comic books. However, for every yin there is a yang and we have also seen a lot of crummy comic book movies...

Think On This: EDILW’...

“Under normal circumstances, I would follow Morrison and his ongoing Bat-narrative into the next title hosting it, but that new title is going to experience a 33% price increase, which is just way too much for me to be able to spend on 22-pages of Batman comics…especially when I know...

I Love Comics: Grant Morri...

Disclaimer: I don't know what this is, it's not organized nor is it well thought out - it's just a gut reaction ramble to Grant Morrison's work. It's more about celebrating someone who is pushing the superhero medium into it's next level. If you can handle that... read on.

We Finally See Frank Quite...

If you know anything about me at this point it’s that I am absolutely head over heels in love with Frank Quitely’s art. I think he’s the most dynamic and exciting artists today. So in saying that I’ve become completely enamoured with the idea of more Batman from him....

Review: Batman & Robi...

I’m a big fan of trades and hardcovers. I like having complete chapters to read. My typical Wednesday ritual is to go to the comic shop, gab with with the employees and some of the customers for a bit and eventually make my way home. I’ll grab a drink (usually a bottle of...

Wizard World Toronto: Came...

I had interviewed Cameron Stewart last year at Fan Expo just before word had broken about his three issue stint on Grant Morrison’s Batman & Robin. This shouldn’t really have come as much of a surprise as Stewart been a longtime collaborator with the God of All Comics from very...

More Batman & Robin an...

DC Comics announced this morning that Frazer Irving will follow Andy Clarke as artist on Batman and Robin beginning with June’s Issue 13. Irving, who collaborated with writer Grant Morrison on 2005′s Seven Soldiers: Klarion the Witch Boy, joins an impressive art roster ...

I Heart Comics: Random Rev...

Last night I had one of the best reading experiences. All the titles really only had one thing in common: great comics. Now most of these books are old, and for whatever reason I only recently picked them up. These include – Garth Ennis and John McCrea’s Hitman Vol. 2 A Thousand...

This Week In Panels: Feb. ...

Things that I Enjoyed in My Comics This week includes spoilers, and plenty of them. So consider this your warning. You’ve been warned, so don’t read it unless you’re willing to be spoiled. Got it? Dan Slott explains away all that Kevin Smith Daredevil nonsense and wins a...

Sneak Peek: Batman and Rob...

The DC Blog starts Monday off right with some wonderful Cameron Stewart pencils for Batman and Robin #8. For those of you who didn’t get to read #7 – then here’s what you missed out on. Batman is currently in London filling in for the Knight. (Who Dick has doing some...

Sneek Peek: Batman and Rob...

BATMAN AND ROBIN #6 hits 11/11 and DC was kind enough to give us a sneak peek at the ending of the Red Hood storyline and at what appears to be the greatest mob hitman of all time – The Flamingo. This will be Philip Tan’s last issue on the title as he goes on to work with...

Batman, Why don’t yo...

I’ve been consistently blown away by Grant Morrison’s Batman and Robin. It’s like this awesome mixture of all these elements that make Batman, hell, comics awesome all put together into one monthly issue. I suppose one of the reasons is just how wonderful Frank...

Review: Batman and Robin #...

I’m very protective of Batman. It’s a problem I have as a person that I really think I should get checked out. You see I honestly believe that Batman is one of – if not THE – best literary character of the 20th century. I realize that it’s a fairly lofty...

Cameron Stewart New Artist...

One of CBD’s favourite artists’ Cameron Stewart has finally let slip the secret project that he hinted at back at our interview at Fan Expo. His twitter this morning read: So that secret project I’ve been teasing about? It’s BATMAN AND ROBIN. With a link that lead back...

Did Frank Quitely homage B...

I’m jumping on the bandwagon for those of you who haven’t seen it yet, but if this is true and not just a bunch of comic fans really looking at something too much, it’s pretty damned cool. So, here’s the classic panel of the Alan Moore/Brian Bolland Batman Classic The...

Things That Made me…...

I could easily go on and on about how great this issue is – but let’s be honest, it works best if I just let you click the picture. Morrison is making Damian into a great character, one that’s come a long way from the worrisome Mary-Sue he could have been. But I mean,...
