11 on Upcoming Comics: November 2, 2021Welcome back to Upcoming Comics - and Happy Halloween! I hope everyone enjoyed their celebrations - as for me, I'm a little disappointed. I spent 50 damn bucks on a costume, yet couldn't find anyone who wanted to hang or go to an event with me - I better get a good use for that…
Happy Halloween, guys! I figured I'd take a little more time to sit on this review and upload it at an appropriate moment - especially considering its release was only a few days away from this very special occasion. What are you guys doing for your spooky celebrations? While you think about that, I'd like…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I'd like to apologize: today's gonna be a pretty basic article. It'll have the usual details, but fewer opinions than usual - I'm a little drained for reasons that would take too long to go into. One thing I will mention is that I'm trying to work on an opinion…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! So, a lot dropped during DC Fandome this week... though, if I'm gonna be frank, I wasn't really as charmed by this time around. It's no one's fault, really: 2020 was sort of an interim year, and it's understandable that not much has progressed on account of the pandemic. It…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics (SPOOKY MONTH EDITION)! Not much to report this week, unless you count the growing hype for DC Fandome. Last year's event was a great idea and something that turned out to be an insanely successful event, so it's only natural they'd repeat it this year. The thing is, what brought…
I owe a lot to Arkham Asylum. That can be taken in a few different ways. I owe a lot to the video game, of course - probably one of my favourite pieces of Batman media ever, and probably the game I've replayed the most times in my entire life. I also owe a lot to…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics (SPOOKY MONTH EDITION)! So, how about that Squid Game, huh? I literally heard about it yesterday, and the moment I heard about it once, it was suddenly all anyone could talk about. I just finished watching it before writing this up, and I gotta say, I see why it's so popular…
You know, there's nothing quite so existentially horrifying as hittting 23 years of age, and realizing the first thing you have to do is review an issue of Brian Michael Bendis' Justice League - which is exactly why this review is late! I'd apologize, but read this panel and then tell me you don't understand. Luckily,…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's been a big week for comic books - and for me, considering I've had to mostly ignore them while dealing with 4 school assessments at the same time. I hear a Sandman trailer came out? Is Morpheus really being played by Chris Pratt? The big thing this week is that Fables is…
Hey guys! Welcome to the highest-scoring review I've ever given a Batman comic book. You heard me right. My boss - Andrew, for those who've been following our reviews since "the old days" - has often told the rest of the team that if you're not capable of giving a 10/10 to a comic, then…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! First, some administrative news. I understand you guys didn't want this - and we're not super happy about it either - but we are going to have to roll back on some of our weekly reviews, mainly on account of the sheer number of Bat-books coming out lately. This isn't…
Wow! I hated this issue! Like, oh my god! At first I thought it was the state of mind I was in at the time of my first reading, but no - looking through it again, I could not bring myself to like this. At all! Not even the usual high standard of Justice League…
NOTE: Read Batman: Fear State Alpha #1 before reading this issue. Alright everyone, take three! Time for the third - yes, third - new John Ridley Batman book, starring the exact same character you've seen in the first two. With the first series taking place in the future and the second being digital-first, this will be…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! So, this is a huge week for Bat-books. I'm tempted to jump right into it, but I'd be remiss if I didn't talk about one of the biggest moves DC has made to connect with new audiences in recent history: its Webtoon partnership. If you're on Twitter - or any online…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This week, I'd like to talk about how we review our comics. We've had some discussion within the staff about the ways we handle the issue-to-issue reviews on this website, and it's led us to wonder if we should change things up. Several big comic websites have adopted the approach…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Not a big week, so I won't have a big opening spiel. That being said, now's as good a time as any to remind you that you only have a few hours left to back the HasLab Galactus! Galactus is probably the largest major character in either the Marvel or the…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I don't know why, but I have been on a huge horror kick lately. I've started getting into Dead By Daylight, and I've been watching a bunch of the classics that I've never seen until recently: Friday the 13th, Scream, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hellraiser, etcetera. Not all of it's great, but some of it…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I really wish I could talk to you about The Suicide Squad, but with my state being in lockdown until September 2 (and my country not having HBO Max), I can't really comment on it. Even if I had a friend who was accessing it online legally, streaming services have…
What makes a good spy? If you ask the world of Hollywood, I think you'd get a significantly different answer than if you asked someone who really worked in a secret service. Movies such as the James Bond franchise might have you believe being a secret agent is all about sneaking through exotic locales in…
Before I start this review, I think it's important to read my recently uploaded review for The Next Batman: Second Son. Make no mistake, I Am Batman #0 is not the start to a new series, but the end of a previous one - and while I liked Second Son, it's a little frustrating that the creative…
