I don’t really do book reviews anymore. They generally take rather a long time to write and are of limited interest to most people, so overall the payoff doesn’t justify the effort. However, this book by the Supreme Dark Overlord of the Evil Legion of...

Remember the original mashup of DETHKLOK and Batman? Well, the creators decided that what they had created simply wasn’t AWESOME enough on its own. So they went and made a sequel. That’s right- CHILDREN OF BATMAN are back! And judging by what follows, they...
