Seriously John Constantine, why the reaction, the 'O's are only just bigger than your head. Frankie, do you remember her, Frankie, do you remember? Fearless Defenders, its last issue, goes out with a blast. It's like something out of House isn't it? Except that in Detective Comics he'll get it right first time I wonder if you[...]

Detective Comics #25 doesn't so much make the case for the opposition to that – but it does have a hella cool origin of the Bat Signal. Oh and sticking with Detective Comics ( a really entertaining issue by the way…) There does seem to be a lot of split panel jumping off old big city bridges[...]

What other DC NYCC announcements are coming, I wonder…? Because the comic that Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato are leaving The Flash to work on… is Detective Comics Manapul and Buccellato made Flash a very art-focused book, channeling the experimentation of Will Eisner and it's hoped they'll do the same with Batman. Most-Read Comic Stories Wednesday: Francis[...]

We also said that he'd continue to write Detective Comics Well, we think we're right about the first part But not about the second. Because the comic that Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato are leaving The Flash to work on… is Detective Comics Manapul and Buccellato made Flash a very art-focused book, channeling the experimentation of[...]

With some rather entertaining pictograms.   Batman feels a similar way in Detective Comics, though he seems to be taking more of a Scarlet Witch attitude to it all But with that costume on, he reminds me more of someone else. No, not quite, though the reuniting of man and pizza in Iron Man is a rather emotional[...]

Chew is a book that we keep under our pillows for when we think we're alone. Of late, Layman has also been writing DC Comics' Detective Comics, a return to the publisher he was once fired from for speaking out of turn on the internet. It doesn't seem to affect how he speaks on the internet though. And[...]

A collation of the top ten charts of a number if disparate store, measuring sales on Wednesdays and Thursdays only, those who can't wait till the weekend

And, you know, probably all protest, everywhere, everywhen. Pax Galactica bring out another Battlestar Galactica phrase to go with last month's "So say we all" for Action Comics. That's how evil Caldwell Industries are in Detective Comics… they experiment on children! To ensure the kids will be teased in playgrounds forever Is this the first DC[...]

We'll update this article as and when we can… But this is the answer as to how DC is going to get 56 issues out from 42 monthly comics, I guess… We start with the four issues of Detective Comics for September's Villain Month And yes, Batman is tied/chained/gagged on almost every cover… for some reason it[...]

I blame Romero. OF BATS AND PENGUINS Detective Comics #18 does a rather keen job in setting up next month's WTF cover… Man Bat Zsasz! Man Bat Zsasz! ANGEL DELIGHT Captain America learns to count in All New X-Men. RETCON NOW Oh Iron Fist, he totally was Totally.   In Bedlam, utting a mask on a mask… it's a litle bit unsettling[...]

Now it seems that Detective Comics #18, also following up on Batman Inc #8 is also sold out. And now retailers have been called by DC representatives, advising them that they increase orders on Batman, Nightwing, Teen Titans, Red Hood, Batgirl, Batman And Robin and Catwoman issue 18s and Batman Inc #9. And Detective Comics #18 as[...]

Let's look at that cover to Detective Comics #19… the gatefold version… and zoom in on that arm… Those counting marks, four strikes with a fifth slash across, are a common sign on the both of Batman villain Zsasz, who cuts them into his skin, one per victim. Has Zsasz been turned into a Man Bat?[...]

Alex Wilson talked to John Layman at Amazing Arizona Comic Con; John Layman, the creator behind Chew and current writer on Detective Comics, is one of the most interesting men I have ever had the pleasure of meeting He's laid back and talks to fans, being polite and charismatic, taking time and signing regardless if someone[...]

Detective Comics #19 would have been the 900th issue of the comic if they hadn't have done that New 52 relaunch thing. So, in April, they'll be doing an 80 page comic for $7.99 by John Layman, Jason Fabok, Andy Clarke and a Mad Magazine variant cover. Looking at the size and the price point, do you[...]

As a longtime fan of Detective Comics golden age to present, I approve of this concept: Could we get a Detective Comics #900 In April? The numbers have been crunched, the question has been asked and Dan DiDio has responded… Most-Read Comic Stories Today – Detective Comics 900: Will We Get A Detective Comics #900 In April?

  There are more aspects that tie into Death Of The Family in some of the non-tie books that with today's die cut cover Detective Comics #15 At least on the surface But this juxtaposition rather fits the themes in Snyder's book… Jonathan Hickman gives us the stylistic illustrations for Avengers #1, a quite remarkable book[...]

It's big, a huge team, and cosmic threat, and bi-weekly shipping! Thunderbolts is Marvel's Expendables, Deadpool beats off Tricky Dick, and All New X-Men continues to impress me! Young naive Cyclops vs weathered cynic[...]

A riddle to solve for next year:  So Scott Snyder has given Batman the Court Of The Owls. He is currently motoring through the Death Of The Family story

After nearly a decade of the world record price for a comic book holding at $350,000 (the Marvel Comics #1 Pay Copy sold in 2001 for that amount, and a few years later the Edgar Church copy of Flash Comics #1 changed hands at the same price), early 2010 saw two different single comic book[...]

Other than that, the panel ran like most other DC panels I've been to, so I'll share a few of the juicer bullet points: Starro will appear in Rot World When the New 52 began, writers were told to "write as if they were writing fan fiction." Though the numbering was reset, DiDio says that DC will recognize[...]

In Detective Comics #0 it's time for Bruce to go all Karate Kid on us, in a twist on the fate of his actual parents, that seems vry much in keeping with the themes of the Nolan movies In fact, that's probably the point, this is possibly a perfect Batman comic to pick up after[...]

This is just for the UK, folks. Because if you want to download the first volume of the New 52 Detective Comics on your Kindle, it will cost $14.83 in the USA. But in the UK, right now, it's just seventy seven pence Or a little over a dollar For the first six issues of the run,[...]

And another cliffhanger!   Detective Comics Annual threw me a little Again, this is a comic that outperformed my expectations of it, but in this annual, given extra space, the story of the Black Mask gaining dominance again seems floppy Combined with a pull-back-and-reveal that was telegraphed so a lobotomised monkey who has trouble following the plot[...]

Batman, Dark Knight, Catwoman and Batman And Robin are currently on offer from Discount Mags as $11.99 a year, or $1 an issue. That's 2/3 off the price of

After a year on Detective Comics, there was speculation that Tony S Daniel was looking to move on, up and out of DC A two issue stint had been announced on Justice League Of America but his future seemed uncertain to some… Nothing can be further from the truth it seems Or at least it seems[...]

Detective Comics #11, that one. That's better, Ferals #6 A little variety in our violence Most appreciated. Clark Kent is dead So who does Superman get to be now? While Matches Malone seems to get getting a revival in Batman #11, in Action Comics #11  we get fireman Johnny Clark, which a penchant for saving Friends references[...]

And that continues now, even in Gotham… While over in Detective Comics, Tony Daniel pulls off a fast paced, visually stimulating attack on Arkham Asylum, or rather on Dr Arkham himself, with Batman playing the potential patient getting in harms way Still a surprising and interesting book Let;s see how long they can keep Daniels on[...]
