Friday Favorite: Damian
No, I'm not kidding. It's no secret that I'm a Robin(s) fan, but perhaps even more than Jason Todd, Damian Wayne is controversial among the Bat-faithful. There's no middle ground with him, and the readers who loathe him really loathe him. I understand that because, let's be honest; Damian is — to borrow a word … Continue reading Friday Favorite: Damian
WTF? Wednesday: Three’s Company
If a picture says a thousand words, the World's Finest covers of yore are entire novels. Faulkner novels. As in, engrossing and deeply troubling. While this storied title was innocent, action-packed fun for generations of comic book-loving kids, things look very different when viewed from an adult perspective. It's like when you look at H.R. … Continue reading WTF? Wednesday: Three’s Company

G3 Review: Batman-Under the Red Hood
Under the Red Hood has some truly gripping moments that evoke the raw sadness of A Death in the Family.
Friday Favorite: Tim Drake Wayne
Despite the fact that they all run around in silly costumes, some caped characters get more respect than others. If you say you’re a Batman fan, even his harshest geek critics won’t make fun of you, at least to your face. But saying that Robin is one of your favorites leads to snickering and the … Continue reading Friday Favorite: Tim Drake Wayne
Comic Judgment: A Pull List Overview
I read a bunch of comics this week. Here's how they stack up, from best to worst: 1. Batman and Robin #10 During its short run, this title has ranged from brilliant to odd to plain inscrutable — in other words, classic Grant Morrison. Fortunately, things are back on the upswing with Andy Clarke's wonderful … Continue reading Comic Judgment: A Pull List Overview
