Red Robin #9
February 7th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza
Red Robin – Tim Drake – returns to Gotham City and finds Killer Moth waiting for him as a nice welcome mat.
Red Tornado #6
February 4th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza
The most recent attempt to put the spotlight on Red Tornado comes to a close –- a merciful close that left me hoping for more Red Tornado soon. The character deserves better.
Doom Patrol #7
February 3rd, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton
Keith Giffen keeps throwing ideas at the wall, but I'm not sure any of them are going to stick.
Doom Patrol #6
January 8th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza
Following the "Blackest Night" issues is no easy task, so Giffen, Clark, and crew decide to reflect on what was. This isn't your standard navel-gazing though. It's navel-gazing, "Doom Patrol" style.
Doom Patrol #5
December 11th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
"Blackest Night" continues here with the "resurrected" Doom Patrollers raising hell on Oolong Island. In the backup tale, the Metal Men take on artificially intelligent mannequins, the Clique.
Batgirl #5
December 10th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The Batman corner of the DC Universe gets kinda cozy and more than a little bit awkward in this issue as Batman and Robin -- Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne -- cross paths with the new Batgirl.
Doom Patrol #4
November 4th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Doom Patrol" has its least amount of gloom yet. . . just in time for "Blackest Night." No, that wasn't a joke.
Ambush Bug: Year None #7
October 31st, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Issue #7 in this 6-part series is a disjointed disappointment.
Booster Gold #25
October 17th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Booster shares a moment with Batman and Blue Beetle tries to keep Black Beetle from sharing anything -- including air!
Doom Patrol #3
October 13th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
BOTH stories are worth reading in this issue.
Batgirl #2
September 16th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Pacing problems make this a difficult book to read despite its interesting characters and good art.
Doom Patrol #2
September 10th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Doom Patrol" has nice ideas but still isn't quite clicking. On the bright side, the Metal Men second feature is still fun.
Red Tornado #1
September 10th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
For the second time in a quarter of a century, Red Tornado is given a chance to fly in a solo title.
Red Robin #4
September 9th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Tim Drake thinks Bruce Wayne is alive. Dick Grayson disagrees. That means they must fight and the victor determines Bruce’s state of existence.
The Red Circle: The Web #1
August 24th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"The Red Circle: The Web" trots out another one of the characters licensed from Archie, but once again, there's little you haven't already seen.
Batgirl #1
August 21st, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Barbara Gordon is in the new "Batgirl" comic. Is she wearing the cowl? I promise not to spoil it, but will give you my assessment of the issue.
The Red Circle: The Hangman #1
August 8th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"The Red Circle" event kicks with "The Hangman," but hopefully the remaining characters will have a slightly less cliché origin to be told.
Doom Patrol #1
August 6th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The all-new Doom Patrol hit the shelves and one of the members checks out. Why the Doom Patrol? "'Challengers of the Unknown'" was already taken," says Robotman.
Booster Gold #22
July 11th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
This Booster Gold arc is old-school fun, but the Blue Beetle isn't even that.
Booster Gold #21
June 11th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The subfeat – er, uh, the "Second Features" start here, with the Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle sharing staples with the man who helped him get started, Booster Gold. Booster, however, is a little busy confronting the cowl.
Red Robin #1
June 10th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Red Robin" is off to an uneven start right out of the gate, but there's certainly potential in its destination.
Madame Xanadu #10
May 4th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Featuring a star-studded cast of DC Universe mystical superbeings from yesteryear, the first story from Vertigo's "Madame Xanadu" draws to a close.

April 2nd, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Kirk Langstrom returns to the skies of Gotham in this "Battle for the Cowl" tie-in.
Batman: Battle for the Cowl: Commissioner Gordon #1
March 25th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
The Gotham police try their best to deal with a city gone mad thanks to Batman’s death. But, can they contend with the likes of Mr. Freeze without back-up?
Blue Beetle #36
February 25th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
This is it. "Blue Beetle" ends here. Grab this issue and hope against marketing idiocy for more Beetle elsewhere.
Batman R.I.P.: The Deluxe Edition
February 24th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
The oversized hardcover edition of the controversial storyline lacks the impact of the serialized version, but it's still a keeper.
Robin #183
February 18th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
This may be the final issue of “Robin,” but Tim Drake is still kicking butt and taking names, and protecting Gotham until someone takes over as the new Batman.
Blue Beetle #35
February 1st, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The penultimate chapter in the adventures of Jaime Reyes finds the "Blue Beetle" once more balancing legacy, family and friends. While this might be the second-to-last issue of this title, it's not too late to join the fun.
El Diablo #5
January 10th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
The Freedom Fighters arrive and things take a turn for the even stranger.
Batman Cacophony #2
January 4th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Possibly an improvement over issue #1, but Kevin Smith still gives us a Joker that seems obsolete.
Batman #683
December 24th, 2008 | By Chad Nevett
Grant Morrison’s two-year run comes to a satisfying conclusion as Batman battles through false memories to take on Darkseid’s forces.
Batman #682
December 4th, 2008 | By Benjamin Birdie
Last week, Batman died. This week sees the release of another issue of Batman. How does this post "R.I.P." story hold up?
Madame Xanadu #6
December 1st, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza
Borrowing the soothsayer of the DC Universe and elevating her to star status, Matt Wagner gives "Madame Xanadu" a chance to grow, shine and entertain. Teamed with the fresh abilities of Amy Reeder Hadley, this title is quite unlike anything else
Batman #681
November 26th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
"Batman R.I.P." ends, and so does Bruce Wayne?
Batman: Cacophony #1
November 12th, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton
Kevin Smith brings back his creation Onomatopoeia in a new mini-series, but was anyone besides Smith eager for Onomatopoeia's return?
DC Universe Halloween Special 2008 #1
October 23rd, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza
Elongated Man and his wife Sue act as ghost detective tour guides through the spookiness that follows fan favorites in this "DC Universe Halloween Special"
Batman #680
October 1st, 2008 | By Benjamin Birdie
"Batman R.I.P." is nearing its end, and this issue leaves everything in the air. Does it even make sense?
El Diablo #1
September 7th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
A strong debut for Jai Nitz and Phil Hester's spirit of vengeance.
Ambush Bug: Year None #2
August 29th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
It's great to see Giffen drawing the irreverent Ambush Bug again, but this issue's not all that funny.
Blue Beetle #29
July 31st, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza
A new writer helms the adventures of the new Blue Beetle. It's a good start with one misstep, but a lot of hope for the future.
Ambush Bug: Year None #1
July 23rd, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza
Ambush Bug returns in all his glory, and Keith Giffen's got a whole new status quo in the DC Universe to play with.
Batman #678
July 3rd, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton
"Batman: R.I.P." goes down the proverbial rabbit hole, here, making Grant Morrison's "Batman" its strangest yet. At the same time, though, it's also at its most compelling.
Madame Xanadu #1
June 30th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
Amy Reeder Hadley's art shows great promise, but Wagner's story drips with cliche.
Green Lantern Corps #25
June 13th, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza
It's the middle of a major storyline, but an enjoyable one. Everyone gets a little screen time. The story is quickly understood. And the art is a fine new pairing.
Blue Beetle #27
June 1st, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza
A fill-in issue for the series is a bit of a let down, but still better than most other comics on the rack.
Batman #677
May 29th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
Who is the Black Glove? Could it really be Alfred? Bruce Wayne? His dead father?
Batman #676
May 18th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
This first installment of "Batman R.I.P." is a great place to jump back on to this series.
Batman #675
April 23rd, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
A new Ten-Eyed Man helps set the stage for Batman: R.I.P.
Blue Beetle #25
March 28th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
John Rogers pulls it all together for a thrilling climax as Blue Beetle outwits an alien armada.
Catwoman #77
March 19th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
A weak issue interrupts a strong run on the title for writer Will Pfeiffer. What plot device ruins the issue? Read on to find out.
