We all collect and read comics differently, some of us have huge pull lists at our local comic store, with titles that you have been reading for years whilst following the continuity religiously. And some of us rifle through the latest preview magazine looking for something that catches our eye, reading news on the internet about exciting events that come up and new stories to explore. Those explorers often jump onto a title when something new happens, to read the current story, that’s exactly what I have done with Batman and Robin #24 and #25. 


I haven’t read any new Batman in a while and by a while I mean a couple of years. Not because I’m not interested but because sometimes the major leagues can really give you continuity fatigue. I become hungry for stories rich in originality so I head for the Indies, but in the back of my mind I always know I’ll go back to Dc and Marvel and catch up with my old friends. Along comes Batman and Robin #24 with a promise of a fresh origin story for Two Face.

Alright it's that time of the week folks! What comics have been on your waiting list that you have been gagging for? It is definitely going to be another big week at comic stores around the world, and what is not to love about that? There's nothing more awesome then that new comic book smell, and how amazing a comic book cover can look in it's shiny clear bag, it gives me tingles just thinking about it.

I love the smell of new comics in the morning.

The ongoing stars of the New 52 turn in another masterful chapter of Batman’s modernised origin, as Zero Year continues!

Continuing the events of last issue, our neophyte Batman finds himself ambushed and surrounded by Gotham City Police, who put the effectiveness of his body armour to the test under a hail of gun fire, including a devastating shot to the head. Cornered, wounded, with his equipment damaged, his suit in tatters and his tactics constantly frustrated by a prepared and disciplined force, Batman desperately attempts escape while the plans of Zero Year’s true villain begin to unfurl.

In Zero Year, Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo succeed in putting the Batman through his paces. Even in his present-day take on a character with a reputation for near-omniscience and unbeatable skill, Scott Snyder strikes the right balance between Batman’s ability and fallibility, with the balance tipped to the latter in this younger and more arrogant past incarnation. The challenges he faces in this story are genuine, and more than equal to the fledgling costumed detective, recently returned home from eight years of training, but with very little experience in the application of that training.

Ever unsure of what new comics are being released weekly? Well we can help you out! Every week hundreds of comics, trade paper backs and hard cover comics are released, while we can't keep track of them all, here are a list of new release comics which haven't escaped our attention! List will include single issues, as well as trade paper packs and hard covers...oh those delicious hard covers! 

There are so many brilliant comics currently running, which just keep getting better and better. But what is appealing most to the masses for the moment? There is so much going on in the comic book world it really is hard to keep up sometimes. There are a lot of people who are only strictly Marvel or DC, but there is nothing wrong with loving both equally as well giving out some love to the indies. The New 52's from DC just seem to be getting more awesometacular, and Marvel has just given a new audience out there new starting points with Marvel Now. While indies have been bringing fans out of the woodwork with titles such as The Wake, Saga and Pretty Deadly. 

2014 is definitely a great year for the comic book readers, and it's also a a vital time to start exploring comics from all sides of the fence to see what is really out there. Don't just stick to one side of comics, check it all out and get stuck in!!

Lets say the other night you were sitting in your fancy leather chair, swilling brandy from your crystal snifter, and pondering the state of the planet and its many peculiarities. The bad stuff, the good stuff, the really really bad stuff, the inexcusably awful, terribly terrible bad stuff. We're talking things that don't even make it to the news, so that the general public (who - in public deem these things to be not very good at all) doesn't puke in their TV dinners.

You're thinking about this, because, well, the brandy's taking hold. In your mildly tipsy state, you RISE UP! You lift your snifter to the sky and scream to the new gods; 'WE NEED BATMAN!

Marvel to launch new Daredevil Infinite Series in 2014 from Mark Waid

Marvel’s Infinite comics have gone from strength to strength in 2013 with titles like Wolverine: Japan’s Most Wanted, Ironman: Fatal Frontier and Guardians of the Galaxy. With big name creators like Brian Bendis, Kieron Gillen and Jonathan Hickman writing A-list characters, the Infinite comics are now much more than just a novelty. That trend is set to continue in 2014 with news that Mark Waid and Peter Krause are set to produce an Infinite version of Daredevil in the new year with the series Daredevil: Road Warrior.

Launching in February, Road Warrior is set to debut after the climactic events of Daredevil #36 which will see Waid’s run on the series come to an end. “Matt’s beginning a whole new chapter in his life following the events of Daredevil #36, and he’s excited but apprehensive at the same time,” Waid said in an interview with Marvel.com. “You can be a Man Without Fear and still be a little worried about where the next paycheck is coming from. Daredevil: Road Warrior is a coast-to-coast adventure/chase with thrills aplenty.”

Daredevil Road Warrior sees Waid unite on Daredevil with longtime collaborator Peter Krause with whom he produces the series Insufferable for Waid’s digital only imprint Thrillbent. With the wealth of experience that both men have in producing cutting edge digital comics this should be the first must-read digital comic of 2014.

In late July 2011, with DC's New 52 (a storyline reboot of all major titles) finally hitting shores after much anticipation, came the current writer and artist duo; Scott Synder and Greg Capullo respectively, to the ever popular title: Batman. Not content with creating not only a formidable and memorable addition to the extended rouges gallery in the form of The Court of Owls, the pair have now completed a storyline based around Batman's most infamous enemy: The Joker.
