You have to admit that one advantage the comic book medium has over any other is that it can avoid red tape better than most. In the past few years, we’ve received dream crossovers between Batman and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Justice League and Power Rangers, as well as Sonic The Hedgehog and Mega Man. Due to each of those properties’ film, television and video game rights residing at various studios, it seems the realm of comics is the only feasible place for those characters to meet up and that’s not too shabby; as long as someone can draw it, it can become a reality.
DC’s first major crossover event of the Rebirth era, Justice League vs. Suicide Squad, may be very close to reaching its conclusion, but it feels like there’s so much more ground to cover.

Whenever superhero team-ups occur, be they in comic books, animation or live action, it's not just the big fight scenes that fans remember - it's those little moments the characters share that are forever etched into our memories.

Before All-New Guardians of the Galaxy launches this May in order to coincide with the new movie, the current run of Guardians of the Galaxy must logically reach its conclusion. In doing so, series writer Brian Michael Bendis intends to make an impact.
Aside from a prequel comic and Free Comic Book Day offering, those eagerly anticipating Riverdale have much to look forward to. Up until recently, not much information regarding the series has been divulged beyond the pilot episode, but now, that's thankfully changed.
In the very near future, DC’s oldest title – the one that the publisher is named for, in fact – will hit a milestone that few in the comic book industry have done thus far when Detective Comics celebrates 950 issues. Think about it: Batman (and others) have helped keep this series in continuous publication since the Great Depression. That’s quite a feat.
For most people, Joker and Harley Quinn are synonymous with each other. Ever since the latter debuted a quarter century ago on Batman: The Animated Series, the “Mad Love” they’ve shared has become the stuff of legend and has since carried over into live action cinema thanks to Suicide Squad.
Back in November, we learned that Jerome is set to make his return when Gotham comes back from its holiday hiatus. Now, with "Mad City: Ghosts" airing tomorrow, a couple new teasers have been released to help build anticipation.
