Batgirl Vol. 3: Death of the Family by Gail Simone & Ray Fawkes – Graphic Novel Review [Bane of Kings]

Batgirl Vol. 3

Milo, aka “Bane of Kings”, writes a review of the third Volume of DC’s New 52 Batgirl series, written mainly by Gail Simone. If you haven’t read Batman Vol. 3 and Batman Incorporated Vol. 2 (or at least know of the events that happen in the series unless you want to skip #18 ) I wouldn’t recommend reading this book until you have caught up. 

An excellent collection that continues one of the best DC series out there - Batgirl ties in very well with the Death of the Family arc as well as strongly progressing with the James Gordon Jr. arc – making this a must read for any Batgirl fan.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

American Vampire Anthology #1 – Friday Flash Review [Shadowhawk/Bane of Kings]

American Vampire Anthology 01

Shadowhawk and Bane of Kings review the first anthology issue set in Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque’s American Vampire series from Vertigo Comics.

“Scary, creepy vampires plus some of the best writers in comics right now. This is a fantastic mix of story and talent!” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields

An excellent anthology showcasing the best of what comics has to offer. Absolutely loved it. A must read whether you’ve read the original American Vampire series or not, American Vampire Anthology #1 is not only Pick of the Week, but Pick of the Month, and a very strong contender for Pick of the Year ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

Comics Round-up 02.08.2013

Before Watchmen Minutemen Silk Spectre

Shadowhawk and Bane of Kings welcome you to the first round-up for August.

“The rebooted Aphrodite IX proves to be great while the first two issues of musician Max Bemis’ Polarity from Boom Studios manage to astound spectacularly. And back in superhero-land, Greg Pak’s first two issues of Batman/Superman disappoint like none other, even though Ray Fawkes’ Trinity War tie-in second issue of Pandora proves to be a spectacular issue.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields

“Before Watchmen manages to both excel and disappoint, whilst Scott Snyder excels in the Pre-New 52 era, and Green Hornet Year One is a much better origin story for the character than the recent film.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

Batman Annual #2 (2013) by Scott Snyder and Marguerite Bennett – Friday Flash Review [Shadowhawk/Bane of Kings]

Batman Annual 02 (2013)

Shadowhawk and Bane of Kings review the brand-new Annual issue for DC’s Batman.

“As with last year’s issue featuring Mr. Freeze so it is with the new one as Scott and Margueritte flesh out a new villain for the caped crusader and they do it in mind-boggling style.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields

A title that manages to provide a fun look at the interior workings of Arkham Asylum with a nice, solid annual, however – as Snyder is not the main writer, it isn’t as impressive as what we’ve seen in the past – but it is still worth checking out, and is certainly worth the extra cost.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields
