    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Feb 18, 2013

    Batman: Lil' Gotham #5 is yet another excellent entry into one of the best comics DC Comics is publishing. Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs are only focused on telling a fun, creative story and that is exactly what this comic is. Seeing characters such as Joker, Talia Al Ghul, Catwoman and Zatanna having wacky chibi-style adventures in Gotham City is a pure joy. This is a must buy comic for any DC Comics fan and great comic to buy for those looking to get kids into comics. This comic gets the Revolution-Kevin stamp of approval. Read Full Review

    Li'l Gotham comes to print in April with an issue that will collect the first two digital issues -- Halloween and Thanksgiving.

    This valentine from DC's Digital First lineup is certainly worth the price and will most definitely provide a longer lasting impression than candy or cards. As Nguyen and co-writer Derek Fridolfs have done throughout the series, "Batman: Li'l Gotham" #5 offers an amusing and picturesque celebration of Valentine's Day, with a super twist.

    This installment didn't tickle me the way previous specials have. Not that the charm of Li'l Gotham has worn off, mind you. It's just that it was a fun idea that never quite reached its full potential in my eyes. The artwork is still terrifi Read Full Review
