9 on Upcoming Comics: June 1, 2021Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! DC is coming out with a LOT of books this week, and as usual, most of them are Bat-related. The Adventures Continue is returning, adding to the list of comics I really should review - and a surprisingly solid run of Man-Bat is wrapping up, which I strongly encourage everyone check out…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Last week, I recieved some important constructive criticism about how this column was changing, and why several people took issue with it. I really appreciate hearing this kind of feedback, because it helps remind me what this job is about: recommending comics to our audience in an accessible and informative…
In many ways, it's hard to believe we're only three issues into Brian Michael Bendis' run of Justice League. I can't say I'm complaining! Reviewing two Justice League comics a month wasn't my favourite thing to do when the books were only occasionally delivering an issue I genuinely really enjoyed. That said, there are downsides to this new…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! [EDIT: I've been recieving some feedback about the direction of the column, and I'm going to try changing some things back to Josh's style! I'd appreciate hearing about specific elements you liked from Josh, as well as if you have anything in particular from this version you'd like to stay.]…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I'm just now settling back in after coming home from a wedding - and oh my god, what a day that was. Up at 5am, asleep at 2am, the whole day was hectic - and a fantastic celebration of love. It got me thinking about weddings in comics, which have ranged…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Forgive any technical issues over the next couple of weeks - I'm actually in my home town for a close friend's wedding! This will be the first major wedding I attend, and as a bridesman, it's a super big deal for me. I'm hoping it all goes well for them,…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I've been taking everyone's Marvel recommendations from last week, and am in the middle of reading the latest Venom run. I also bought the first three issues of Eternals, which I'm pretty keen to get stuck into! Meanwhile, Mortal Kombat just released this week - and while I'm not a Mortal Kombat…
So. You want to make a Batman comic. Simple enough, right? Over the course of 80 years, Batman has become one of the most versatile characters in all of popular culture. He’s been everywhere: travelling the world, the universe and the spacetime continuum itself! Batman can be found doing anything, anywhere a creator likes. There’s…
Justice League: Prisms I remember when I started reading Scott Snyder’s Justice League, fresh off the heels of Dark Nights: Metal and No Justice. Honestly, the beginning of that book was one of the best openings to a team book I’d ever read: it established the team dynamic perfectly, set up an interesting and high-stakes…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics, everyone! [Insert hilarious 4/20 joke here.] We're still working on the poll, but everything else seems to be in order. As always, keep me posted if you have any suggestions for these posts! Currently, I just finished reading Immortal Hulk, and I think I might be in love. There's a really…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics, everyone! I really appreciate everyone's comments from the last article - I got a lot of great feedback, both positive and constructive, and I really think it's gonna help turn Upcoming Comics into something fun and engaging. This time, we're adding a new section to the article, which I'm gonna…
…Oh. Um. Was that it? If I’m gonna be honest, I didn’t think this comic was ending here. I expected nine issues from Criminal Sanity, and I was unaware that its Secret Files issue contributed to that count. Going into Issue #8, I was expecting to read the penultimate issue: a prelude to a grand…
Welcome to the latest edition of Upcoming Comics! As you can see, things are gonna be a little bit different from now on. Josh has done an amazing job managing this column for so long, but he's decided to pass the torch - and I'm incredibly flattered that he trusts me with the responsibility. So,…
Long ago – when the pyramids were still young – Egyptian kings played a game of great and terrible power. But these Shadow Games erupted into a war which threatened to destroy the entire— Oh, sorry. I accidentally started reciting the opening to the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. What was I saying? Ah, yes. Long ago –…
Well, we knew this was going to happen sooner or later. Brian Michael Bendis entering the world of DC Comics was one of the biggest creative shakeups that the two companies have had in some time... though I can’t say I’m all for what DC got out of the deal. From Daredevil to Immortal Hulk,…
I’ve been known to piss my friends off from time to time by the way that I tell them about myself. It’s not intentional, mind you! I don’t make a point to gather people around a campfire, wistfully boasting of my accomplishments as if I didn’t peak in high school five years ago. The problem…
At this point, everyone and their mother has a different opinion on Future State – and while I still ultimately like the change of pace, I can’t deny the validity to a lot of people’s complaints. There are a few standouts throughout each time period the event is trying to portray, but the way they…
Spoiler alert: I thought this comic was alright! Normally I tend to give my final thoughts at the end of the issue, but I think it’s important to preface this review with my ultimate opinion. In my review for The Next Batman #1, I praised the comic for its wonderful artwork, smattered across a selection…
On October 10th, 2019, a nervous 21-year-old finished tapping his fingers away at his keyboard, and uploaded his fifth review to Batman News: a critique of Joker/Harley: Criminal Sanity #1. I remember the comments well, as it was the first review of mine to receive somewhat negative feedback! As someone who was relatively new to…
Thanks to my job, I don’t really have the need to buy physical DC comics anymore. Week to week, everyone at Batman News is given access to the latest the company has to offer, which is an insane privilege which I feel grateful for every time I boot up my computer. It gives me the…
