6 on Upcoming Comics: October 11, 2022Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! New York Comic Con is wrapping up, and I'm a little too exhausted to say anything beyond that. No thoughts this week - at least not until I get my head a little straighter. Will have a full article on the experience shortly, hope everyone else who went had a…
DC's Gotham City panel began at 10.45am: the latest update for fans about what's going on in the world of Batman. People began their Sunday morning a little drowsy, but that energy quickly resurfaced once the panel truly began. Ben Abernathy, an executive editor at DC, introduced the panelists: Frank Tieri, Meghan Fitzmartin, Ram V,…
So I've finally sat down at my hotel in New York, New York. Casper and Cam are trying to order food, the rest of the Batman News team are sending their best wishes, and I'm recovering from the jet lag of three flights over thirty hours, which was delayed due to being stuck in customs.…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Before we continue, I want to take a moment to address some comments that were particularly frustrating to me last week: namely, discourse around Tim Drake. I'm not going to pretend I'm enjoying Tim's writing in the world of Batman right now. Much like comments about Jace in I Am…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Very busy week for DC - and a very busy week for me as well. Don't Worry Darling isn't doing so hot at the box office it seems, so Black Adam is WB's only remaining movie that could potentially make them a profit. Is that because WB Discovery has been shooting themselves…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Pretty big week, but I don't have a lot to say here. I'd like to remind everyone that me and some other members of the Batman News Team will be heading to New York Comic Con this year - we hope to get a lot of coverage, and we would…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Let me tell you, I have had a hell of a week. I'm not gonna go too deep into personal matters, but... wow. On the one hand, you could say I've learned some valuable lessons in mental and emotional intelligence. On the other hand, I'd rather some of what happened didn't…
Damn it. Alright Flashpoint Beyond, back it up. You had me for a while here, but now you're really losing me. I can't in good conscience spend an entire review trashing Dark Crisis, and not subject you to the same scrutiny when you carry the same issues. Flashpoint Beyond #5 opens on a perversely funny scene, when it wastes…
My Dungeons and Dragons session got cancelled today, and I'm blaming it all on Dark Crisis. Oh, sorry. Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths, apparently. I find it funny how excited DC was to market this name change - before it even happened in the story, no less! It makes a gal wonder if I should bother using a…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I don't know what it is, but lately I've felt an incredible pang of nostalgia for the Arkham games of old. Well, "old" is relative, of course - but we're 6 years past Arkham VR, with no sign of a successor to the games in sight. I think it's safe to say that,…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Great news, guys: I'll be at New York Comic Con!!! Me, Cam and Casper will be the Batman News team presence at the convention. If you want to meet us and talk shop about comics, send us a comment here or on our socials! I'm excited to write some articles…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I have to say, I am not impressed with WB Discovery right now. In a sea of cancellations and content removal, it becomes hard to continue writing content that supports them, if only because my reviews often recommend their products. As this is not an article about that subject matter, I…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Apologies, but not a very thorough lead-in for the discussion this week. I'll engage with the comments, of course! Just not sure my brain is capable of saying anything interesting right now. There's an interesting conversation topic, though: how do you guys deal with being stuck in a rut? Now,…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Not much to say this week, other than to please watch Better Call Saul. We're on the final two episodes now, and the show's better than ever - and it was already some top-tier television! Just as good as Breaking Bad, if not better - and CERTAINLY better shot. Check it out, and…
Flashpoint Beyond has earned enough goodwill for me to forgive the occasional misstep. I wouldn't say this is a bad issue, but it deviated a little from what actually interested me about the book - getting lost in the weeds, rather than appreciating the garden as a whole. Let's get into why! The Clockwork Killer…
I'd like to begin this review by asking who enjoys this book, and why. It's not like I think Dark Crisis could not possibly have fans. In fact, I envy those who are fans of this book - I'd love to find joy in this event, to be invested in the characters to the point where…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Can't spend too long talking this week - a lot to cover and not a lot of time to do it, as I've been called in to work for the next... God, five days. Why the heck is DC putting all their major releases in the first week of the…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Hooh boy. A lot of news this week - almost too much to parse, if I'm being honest! Some of the comic book announcements are interesting enough, and I happen to be incredibly excited for the Riddler book coming out later this year. The Batman is my favourite superhero movie of the year (like…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! SDCC is right around the corner, and we're sure to be hearing a lot of DC news imminently - maybe not as much as we will at DC Fandome, but still! I actually plan to be attending NYCC later in the year; what should I expect from a big con…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Bit of a short week this week - not really sure why DC made last week so busy, and this week so barren. Works for me, as I've had a busy day today. Anyone see Thor: Love and Thunder? Now, let's see what we have for this week! Upcoming Comics…
