6 on The Next Batman: Second Son reviewAt the beginning of 2021, Future State was released into the world - and whether you like it or not, it's been one of the driving forces of momentum for DC's universe as of late. Personally, I've found it kind of interesting! Seeing where places such as Gotham City are in the near future is…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I'm a little bummed, if I'm gonna be honest with you guys. This is the mid-trimester break for my school, and unlike other breaks - which seem to always be hampered by lockdowns now - this one actually involved me planning a little vacation. Nothing risky, mind you: just a…
If I'm being honest, there's not much to say this week. The latest issue of Justice League Dark isn't a slow one, per se - but I find myself a little less enthralled by it than I am by previous issues thus far. That's mainly because, despite the exciting action and beautiful visuals on display,…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I feel like I have had absolutely no sleep, so I'm excited to get this out there. I just got my first dose of the COVID vaccine, and I threw up three or four times at about four in the morning. No regrets, but holy cow has it put me out…
I have a genuine question for everyone reading this: Do you think The Long Halloween is a good mystery? I'm not necessarily asking if you like the book or not. Loeb and Sale's classic is a lot of things, but shallow is not one of them - so there are plenty of reasons to enjoy…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! So I'm ashamed to say it, but I have a confession: I hadn't read an issue of Batman in about a year. Yeah, I know, it was bad of me - but since my review of one of Tynion's issues in His Dark Designs, I just fell off the title and…
This week might have to involve a bit of "phoning it in", as they say. It's not that either Justice League or Justice League Dark have terrible instalments this week - in fact, both stories make clear efforts to progress the story and get their audiences excited for what's to come. That being said, I'm not all…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This week was a sad one for comic book fans - especially those who have been keeping an eye on rising talent in the industry. So, before we get to the comics, I want to show you some quotes from a few of my past reviews. Robson Rocha. This guy…
Hey guys! You're talking to Nick today - Brian couldn't make it for this review, so I've stolen his identity for the next few hours so that I can upload this article. Rest assured, I've made many purchases with his PayPal account. Brian's reviews for Tom Taylor and Andy Kubert's Batman: The Detective have painted a pretty…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Interesting week, this one - if you'd asked me if I expected Jeph Loeb to be writing another Long Halloween comic with Tim Sale (let alone another DC comic book again), I'd have laughed about the prospect. Loeb has had his fair share of controversy recently, with some serious accusations of…
Alright, that's it. Justice League and its backup, Justice League Dark, do not belong in the same comic book. Both of these books have their merits (though those who have read my reviews until now know which of the two I prefer), but they do not compliment each other well at all. Bendis' Justice League is a…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Gonna make this intro short, because I'm a little strapped for time. How was everyone's 4th of July? Seeing as we don't celebrate it here in Australia (we never freed ourselves from the claws of the British), it's always fun hearing about the stuff my friends from overseas get up…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This is a very light week, so I'm going to pivot the discussion to comics outside of the realm of Marvel and DC: what are your favourite indie comics? One I'd like to recommend, for those of you who like sappy shit, is Heartstopper - a YA webcomic by Alice Oseman…
On the cover for Justice League #63, Black Adam and Naomi are despicted as standing back to back, concerned for their fates as the faces of the Justice League loom over them, casting judgment. The caption of the cover reads "Black Adam and Naomi ACCUSED", and it couldn't be more ominous as to what they've done in…
When I was just entering high school in 2012, Warner Bros. had plans to release The Hobbit - a brand new movie set in Middle Earth, and a sort-of prequel to Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Having seen all three of the LOTR movies several times (because who hasn't), obviously I was very excited to…
Wow, this is a big week! DC's finally getting back into a rhythm after the mess that was 2020 and the AT&T merger - and while they haven't pulled me back in just yet, there's a lot of content that has my attention, if nothing else. Hey, has anyone else noticed that Aquaman's books have…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I just got out of lockdown, and I gotta say, I am annoyed. I wanted to go on something of a shopping spree to celebrate getting out: I bought a Loki figure from the new show (GREAT first episode), a Flametrooper figure from the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order game... and…
I found out I was bisexual some time during 2018. There were signs, of course. I'm sure if you talk to enough of my friends, you'll find a few who said they kind of figured - I certainly had a few employers who thought I was flat-out gay, which was a funny conversation to have.…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! We have a LOT of books coming up this week, and most of them are Batman-related. Crazy how we're a website that covers only Batman content, yet we end up reviewing most of DC's publishing line! It's a very exciting week for me, because it's not all the time I…
Okay. This was bound to happen sooner or later. Justice League has managed to avoid my ire for three generally decent issues, but that wasn't going to last forever. I would have liked it to last a little longer - but alas, issue #62 is the first of Bendis and Marquez's run that I've genuinely not…
