Review: Batman: Creature of the Night #2

By Dustin Cabeal

I have some regret for not putting this on my best of 2017 list. It’s likely to get a spot on this year’s list because already two issues in on this series, and it’s one of the best comics I’ve ever read. The mixture of the real-world and fictional DC world is balanced brilliantly making you forget that this too is a fictional world.

Group Review: Batman: Creature of the Night #1

By the Comic Bastards

Welcome to the review. If you’re unfamiliar with Comic Bastards’ group review format, then allow me to get you up to speed. Each of the participating writers will give their thoughts, along with their own personal score for the issue. Each score stands on its own so don’t expect an average. Now, here’s a blurb about Batman: Creature of the Night #1.

Young Bruce Wainwright lost his parents in a violent crime…and in the real world; no superheroes exist to save the day. But as grief and rage builds inside Bruce until he feels he can’t keep it inside anymore, something strange starts taking wing in the Gotham night! Perhaps Bruce’s grief isn’t inside him after all?

Life Imitates Comic Book Art in Batman: Creature of the Night

Press Release

Every Batman fan has dreamed of becoming the Dark Knight—putting on the cowl, firing up the Batmobile and heading out to take on the Joker. However, we’d imagine that very few of them have dreamed about being Bruce Wayne as a child. While having your own Batcave and hanging with the Justice League would be fun, the important tragedy it took for Bruce Wayne to get there is often overlooked.

Review: Autumnlands #13

By Robert Larson

In keeping with the revelations from the last issue, we learn a lot from Autumnlands #13, enough to change our perception of this world. Last issue was about the creators of the Autumnlands, who were really nothing more than irresponsible party boys who used the planet as a kind of pleasure resort. The frat bros made a mess, and now somebody’s been sent to clean it up. But for the residents of the Autumnlands, particularly Dusty and Aelbert, a clean-up crew is not going to be a good thing.

Review: The Autumnlands: Tooth and Claw #3

It’s quite difficult writing these Autumnlands reviews because there are only so many ways that I can write “this series is great.” Regardless, here we go as I once again praise this series for being awesome in almost every way. Writer Kurt Busiek is doing a fantastic job fleshing out his world while also moving his story forward, while the art team of Benjamin Dewey and Jordie Bellaire also continue to impress. If you’re still not reading The Autumnlands, then you need to rectify that error as soon as possible.
