Batman/Static Beyond – White Elorda’s Nerdy Lifestyle Blog

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

I hope that this post finds you well!

How are you today? Has the week been treating you well? Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?

I am doing very well at the moment – I am looking forward to my first convention of the year coming up next week. I’ll get to see some dear friends, so I am quite excited.

Today’s post is my weekly round-up of new comic books releases that I picked up from my local shop on the day of release.

Remember to support your local comic book stores.

Let’s get right into the haul – shall we?

Single Issues

Absolute Superman. Issue #16. Cover A.

It’s Superman vs Hawkman as the winged avenger tries to teach the “rookie” a thing or two.

Will Clark listen to the veteran warrior? Or is he too distracted by the screaming?

I don’t really care for the art style in this issue. I’m also not a huge fan of Absolute Hawkman’s character, not when he’s being such a hypocrite.

We’ll see how things play out though.

Batman. Issue #6. Cover A.

It’s been a long night for Batman – between Damian revealing his familial connection to Robin, fighting Hugo Strange’ monster men, whatever is going on with the mob, as well as doing everything else he can to keep the streets of Gotham safe.

When Tim comes to him with a important announcement – one that will shake the family to it’s core – how will Bruce take it?

Will Damian ever be able to forgive his brother for abandoning the Robin mantle?

Batman/Static Beyond. Issue #3. Cover A.

The heroes attempt to re-group in the wake of Shutdown’s attack.

Everybody’s powers are on the fritz and no-one knows how to fix it – even a shocking plan from Terry doesn’t get Virgil back to his full strength.

When Shutdown sets his sights on Dakota City – will the heroes be able to come together to stop him?

KnightFight. Issue #4. Cover A.

The final issue of KnightFight is here, and Bruce’s game with the Heart of Apokolips is over.

Bruce has experienced something that he never thought he would – peace. A peace brought about by his own son. Will he fight to make this future a reality?

What is the Heart of Apokolips trying to teach him? What is the point of this little game?

This was such a good run – I really enjoyed it.

Variant Covers

Batman. Issue #6. Valentine’s Day Variant Cover by Chrissie Zullo-Uminga

KnightFight. Issue #4. Variant Cover by Yasmin Putri.

Graphic Novels

Batman: White Knight. DC Compact Edition.

This is my favourite Black Label universe, and I really hope that we get the rest of them in DC Compact editions.

Absolute Batman. Volume 2: Abomination. Hardcover Edition.

And that is it for this week’s haul! I hope that you enjoyed it! As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments as well as any recommendations for stuff you think I should read!

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you doing today? How is the weather where you are? Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?

I hope that this post finds you well.

I’m kind of in a slump – but I’m hoping to pull myself out of it soon.

Today’s post is my weekly round up of new comic releases that I picked up from my local shop.

Let’s get right into it – shall we?

Single Issues

Batman. Issue #162. Cover A.

The Hush 2 saga continues and it’t Batman vs The Bat-Family. Hush is watching everything unfold, waiting to make his move – but what is his plan?

I appreciate Jim Lee’s art, and seeing Jason in his style, but it kind of feels like the continuity left this behind.

Batman & Robin. Issue #27. Cover A.

After a face-off with the Quiet Man, Bruce is getting closer to figuring out who he might be.

The Rogues, namely Two-Face and Penguin, hunt down Arnold Wesker, the man who used to be the Ventriloquist.

I absolutely adore this cover by Carmine di Giandomenico – who is one of my favourite comic artists at the moment.

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight – A League for Justice #5.

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight – A League for Justice. Issue #5. Cover A.

The League has to decide what to do with the incapacitated Zod before he wakes up. Diana takes them to the Sunless Lands – where the Amazon’s reside in the hope that they can imprison him there.

Are they already too late? Lex has opened the door to the Phantom Zone – what will step through it?

Batman/Static Beyond. Issue #1. Cover A.

Terry McGinnis is back as Batman Beyond in this new story that follows him and Vergil Hawkins, also known at Static Shock, or just Static.

There’s a whole movement around a new energy, and Terry finds himself pulled in with a new friend who wants to put a stop to it.

I’m just really happy to have more Terry McGinnis as Batman Beyond – I was admittedly a little disappointed when the Justice League Unlimited Batmna Beyond was revealed to be Tim Drake.
