4 on Flashpoint Beyond #3 review[Review is currently without visual aid; images will be added as soon as possible.] "The plot thickens!" If you think about it, the phrase is kind of amusing. I've heard it so many times that I've never really taken the time to decipher the meaning of it, but it's a particularly interesting choice of words.…
[Review is currently without visual aid; images will be added as soon as possible.] I like to put a level of creativity in my reviews - but normally, that's kind of contingent on the story encouraging a creative response. Like Dark Crisis #1, issue #2 does little to convince me such effort is necessary. There's good stuff…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Today is the last day I'll be living in my Melbourne house - and while it's not the first time I've moved, it is the first time I've properly tried to move out. It's a complicated process! I'm getting rid of almost everything in this entire house, and I've been doing…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Busy week this week, so not much I can report on right now. However, I just finished one of my biggest pieces yet for this website - an interview with the upcoming writer for Detective Comics, Ram V! I'm really proud of my work on this one, so I'd love…
It was about 1am in the morning when I got on a call with Ram V: 2022 Eisner Award nominee and upcoming writer of DC’s seminal publication, Detective Comics. Work was in a few hours, and I resolved to try to keep the interview as quiet as possible, lest I wake my housemates up through…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It wasn't that long ago that I was here, mourning the loss of Neal Adams and George Pérez - so it's especially heartbreaking that I now must do the same with Tim Sale. I have the utmost respect for the first two artists, but it was Sale's work that I…
Empire State of Mind (More like Empire State of Mild, heyo!) reaches its conclusion - and I'm as thoroughly whelmed as ever! Not much else to say, so let's just get into it. With Manray slaughtering his way across the elites of New York City, the mayor is the next on his hitlist. It's up…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Amazon is attempting to get better at implementing comics back into its site - but in the process, has only made it worse. I now can barely load the solicits for comics at all, with it often coming up with this error message: So, if my solicit info is inaccurate…
Alright, credit where it's due: this issue was great! No disclaimer, no "if"s or "but"s, no overarching concerns - I just straight up had a good time with this book, and I'm glad that I did. Let's get right to it and jump into this review! This issue, Thomas is searching for more clues as…
You know, it's funny. I've spent so much time discussing Dark Crisis in my reviews leading up to it... that by the time the event has actually arrived, I feel like I have nothing more to say. I think the book's content - or lack thereof - speaks for itself. Dark Crisis #1 sets the stage…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Okay, so big month coming up - both personally and in the world of comics. I have a fair few reviews coming up this week, but I'm feeling quite fatigued - hopefully I have the energy to tackle all of them! Not to mention I'll be finishing a script, transcribing and…
Hey guys, and welcome back to another issue of Justice League-- No, wait. That doesn't sound right. Let me double-check something... Okay! Good, I was worried for a second. Last month was definitely the final issue of Justice League. Clearly, there must have been a printing error. Let me check the cover again. ...Weird. That's for sure the Justice…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I don't have much to report this week, other than some good news. For those of you excited for Ram V's upcoming Detective Comics run, you'll be happy to know I scored an interview with him! I managed to talk to him for an hour, and we went pretty in-depth as…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Nothing all that new to report. How are you guys doing? I'm starting to listen to Batman: Unburied, which I hear is really good. The opening is very strange, and I'm not sure I like it, but I'm gonna keep listening as I hear it's a very deliberate choice. Let me know…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! No important news today, so I wanted to take a moment to reminisce about Neal Adams and George Pérez. I don't have anything particularly insightful to say about them - there are plenty of editorials and comments already that put their storied lives and beautiful works into some level of…
"Sometimes, less is more." That's the phrase that kept repeating in my head as I read I Am Batman #9 - and indeed, issues #7 and #8. While I went into this new arc with excitement, all three of these issues have brought the same problem with them that the book had before: try as I…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! We have had quite an influx of quality reviewers on the Batman News team as of late, so I'd like to take a minute to introduce all of them. Please give a warm welcome to Jackson, Theresa, William, Aaron and, of course, Jeremy! Jeremy's been doing some work here for…
In my review of Flashpoint Beyond #0, I began with what I felt was an important preface before diving into the review itself. I have inherent objections to the book, from its metatextual commentary to behind-the-scenes circumstances regarding it existing in the first place. Those complaints still apply here, but I'm at least happy to say…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Over the next few weeks, you're going to start seeing more and more new reviewers pop up - some of you might have spotted some new names already. If you see them, be sure to give them a very warm welcome, as it's always great to have new people on…
Ah, screw it. Spoilers, I suppose. I was going to write a long-winded analogy about something fun I could compare this book to, but it's not worth my time. This book isn't fun - why should I pretend, even for a moment, that I'm having fun discussing it? Let's get into one of the worst…
