Review: Titans Special #1

By Hunter T. Patrick

Misleading name featuring Titans, still exciting nonetheless. There is no need to have read what followed, this is a perfect starting point, even if not having read Metal or No Justice/ The end of Metal happened as did the end of No Justice. The source wall has been destroyed. Before No Justice, the Titans also disbanded. The world is ending, and the threats have never been bigger. How do the Titans continue? Well, a new team of course. The Titans were not an ordinary team, they were formed over friendship. This new team will be different, an actual team. With the new threats, the DC Trinity asks Nightwing to lead a new team of his choice. Nightwing, Donna Troy, Raven, Beast Boy, Steel (Natasha Irons), and their ‘chaperone’, Miss Martian. Team members now have their abilities being altered thanks to the source wall broken and people need to be saved. This issue brings together this new team for the first time and also sets up the new era of Titans, with a team trying to be different than what came before. Welcome to the new unknown.

Benjamin Percy to Pen NIGHTWING in May; Christopher Mooneyham on Art

Press Release

“The best way to approach NIGHTWING is as a high-octane, adrenaline-fueled mystery and adventure,” says Benjamin Percy on his new assignment writing the famous BATMAN sidekick. “I’m going to crank up the volume on that world, dose it full of steroids and poison, and dream up a digital nightmare that will ultimately impact the entire DCU.”

Review: New Talent Showcase #1

By Cat Wyatt

DC’s New Talent Showcase is an idea that the president of DC Entertainment, Diane Nelson, came up with as a way of showing off some of the recent students from their Talent Development Workshops (which sounds fantastic). The shorts in this issue are from the 2016 class, as the 2017 one only just wrapped up.

Review: Nightwing: The New Order #3

By Dustin Cabeal

After recording this week’s episode, I thought about this issue more, and I realized that there was one big thing I left out of my podcast and it’s the main reason this issue isn’t as strong as the previous two. It’s actually right there on the cover, the Bat-Family. Batwoman and Red Robin are injected into this issue and that’s actually the problem.

Thank you for coming back this week. Due to time restraints, I couldn't get this podcast completed before comic book day, but here is for those of you that wait until payday or didn't check out the reviews on the site already. There's a lot of good stuff this week to make up for last week's stinkers!

Review: Nightwing: The New Order #2

By Dustin Cabeal

Listen, listen… this is the best thing DC’s ever done with Nightwing. Kyle Higgins is doing exactly what DC should do more of, and that’s just creating fun side stories that have nothing to do with the rest of the DCU. This exists in a bubble, and because of that, he can add consequences to his story that other DC comics can’t. It’s a lot like Injustice in that way, at least before Injustice became too big of a brand and needed to continue making money.

Review: Nightwing: The New Order #1

By Dustin Cabeal

If DC had a slogan right now, it would be DC: Bold As Fuck. Seriously, they’re just trying whatever which sounds like a dreadful thing, but it’s not. It’s what the industry has always done, but at some point, the big two were like, Nah, continuity, it’s all about what’s happening in the world. Screw that; I want what ifs and alternate timelines in which Nightwing is a total dick, pun intended. And I don’t need it to be part of the multiverse, just fun comics starring familiar characters for a few months is nice and refreshing.

009 - Get ready for something different! This is not the return of the usual Comic Bastards Podcast that you may have been waiting for. Instead, it's something different. It's just me, Dustin, and I'm going to review some books... quickly. Okay, not that quick it turns out, but I will run through about seven or eight titles in what I hope will be a weekly show that I put together. Be sure to check out the video as well... it's me staring at the camera and doodling on the screen... enjoy?

Mini-Reviews: Week of 12/7/16

By Robert Ramos

While Papa Bastard is partying out of the country, someone needed to fill his shoes around here and boy howdy does he have some big feet. Joking aside, Dustin really is not available and comics needed to be reviewed: Enter me. This worked well for him and since I really suck at going into tons of detail on anything, this is right up my alley. Let’s hope you enjoy this round of Mini-Reviews!
