Cover by Rafael Albuquerque Written by Kyle Higgins Art by Thony Silas Colours by Andrew Elder Purchase your digital copy @ Comixology now! BEWARE OF SPOILERS Its chapter 5 of ‘Rewired’ and time to reveal the villains lurking behind the costumes of the original Bat-family. For the previous four chapters we’ve had this incredibly well written villain lurking in the background as an ever present threat to the city who has had the police and Batman constantly on their guard right up to the trick reveal in chapter 4. Chapter 5 had to mark a change in the narrative of…

Cover by Jason Fabok Written by Frank Tieri Pencils by Scot Eaton Inks by Jamie Mendoza Colours by Jeromy Cox Purchase your copy @ Comixology now! BEWARE OF SPOILERS This issue of ‘Villains Month’ continues the story that’s been setup in the back-up story over the last few months of the normal ‘Detective Comics’ series. Kirk Langstrom has been betrayed by his wife Francine in more ways than one, he has discovered that she was planted to steal his work and now she has taken the Man-Bat formula and become She-Bat. Here the two do battle and Francine is quickly…

Cover by Jason Fabok Written by Peter Tomasi Art by Szymon Kudranski Colours by John Kalisz Purchase your copy @ Comixology now! BEWARE OF SPOILERS Scarecrow is another of the more intricate issues in the ‘Villains Month’ series thanks to his involvement with The Secret Society which has already been established in earlier issues. Rather than follow the template of other villains issues which have been simple retellings of origin stories this is one of the standout issues, much like Penguin, which takes the character on a present day based story with a well defined arc from start to finish.…

Cover by Chris Burnham Written by Matt Kindt Art by Neil Googe Purchase your copy @ Comixology now! BEWARE OF SPOILERS Some of the more creative issues in the ‘Villains Month’ – at least of the issues I’m reading – have been saved for the various Bat-titles, in particular ‘Detective Comics’ and ‘Batman & Robin’. This issue is a nice update of the Harley Quinn origin story that fleshes out some of the smaller details and brings us up-to-date with her involvement with the Suicide Squad. Even though Harley was an invention of ‘Batman: The Animated Series’ you would be…

Cover by Guillem March Written by Peter Tomasi Art by Graham Nolan Coloured by John Kalisz Purchase your copy @ Comixology now! BEWARE OF SPOILERS We’ve come to the end of the four ‘Batman’ villains issues and we end on none other than Bane with an issue that ties in to the ‘Forever Evil: Arkham War’ mini-series. Tomasi and Nolan have worked together to try and deliver an issue which is reminiscent of the ‘Knightfall’ arc in all aspects. Firstly the artwork has a very classic feel and the colour palette is also reminiscent with the exclusively night setting. Secondly…

Cover by Jason Fabok Written by Ann Nocenti Pencils by Georges Jeanty Inks by Dexter Vines Coloured by Michelle Stewart Purchase your copy @ Comixology now! BEWARE OF SPOILERS ‘The Joker’s Daughter’ has been one of the more anticipated titles – not necessarily for good reason – under the ‘Villains Month’ banner just purely on the basis of the questions if poses over the origins of the character. This title is written by Ann Nocenti whose previously work includes the ongoing ‘Catwoman’ series and reviews of her work that I have read are scathing at best. Batman-News.com has even collected…

Cover by Jason Fabok Written by Frank Tieri Art by Christian Duce Purchase your copy @ Comixology now! BEWARE OF SPOILERS I’m impressed by both the creep factor and also the level of violence that ‘Villains Month’ has brought to the table. This issue in particular has a level of darkness to it that I completely did not expect to see even with DC Comics focussing solely on it’s villainous characters. I’m not sure what my preconceptions were about The Penguin, in recent issues he’s been downgraded from A-list villain at the hands of Emperor Penguin and has been stuck…

Cover by Guillem March Written by John Layman Art by Cliff Richards Coloured by Matt Yackey Purchase your copy @ Comixology now! BEWARE OF SPOILERS So as if the current and still ongoing story in ‘The Dark Knight’ featuring Clayface wasn’t enough for you then here we have a further issue dedicated only to his rampaging journey through Gotham. The only difference here being that Batman is M.I.A along with the Justice League. Honestly I’m feeling a little Clayface fatigue at the moment. I had anticipated that the last issue of this title before ‘Villains Month’ would be the last…
