Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I was looking into the upcoming AMC Batman screenings because I thought it would be a fun thing to do with my friends. I guess it's because it's part of their "Dolby Digital" screens, but tickets were $20 a person! That's obscene. The movie is over 30 years old, and…

The spirit of Denny O'Neil lives on this November as three characters he famously brought to life in the 70s and 80s team up in Batman/Green Arrow/The Question: Arcadia. DC's most hard-boiled vigilantes will come together in this four-issue, Black Label series by writer/artist Gabriel Hardman (Invisible Republic, Green Lantern: Earth One). The mature story…

Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Normally this would be a week where we would lead off with the latest issue of Batman, but thanks to numerous delays, there is no Batman this month. This means the two runs will overlap and there will be two Batman issues coming out in both September and October. It's…

Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! With the recent announcement of Knightfight, we add yet another story where Batman has to fight his family. This is becoming far too common of an occurrence. People who prefer Batman work alone don't want so many stories focused on his extended family, and fans of the characters don't want…

At this year's San Diego Comic-Con, writer Joshua Williamson (Superman, Robin) announced that he would be teaming up with artist Dan Mora (Justice League Unlimited, Batman/Superman: World's Finest) this November to bring us Knightfight. The story will be a tie-in to the upcoming DC K.O. event featuring all of DC's heroes going up against each…

Within Batman comics there are a number of topics that get brought up pretty frequently as a way of questioning the character's core premise. I'm sure you've heard plenty of them before, if not in comics themselves then in countless fan arguments. "Why doesn't Batman kill the Joker?", "Does Batman work better alone?", etc. They're…

Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! So far it looks like Superman is doing really well in the US, but is less popular internationally. I'm curious if this will just be a Superman specific phenomenon, or if the rest of the world is just getting hit with superhero fatigue harder in general. Either way, while maybe…

After DC All In, the threat of Darkseid has been looming over the entire DC Universe. Fans have been speculating as to how the heroes would next challenge the menacing ruler of Apokolips before he dooms the multiverse. If anyone guessed "in a bracket-style fighting tournament where the winner goes up against Darkseid" then congratulations…

Bizarro is such a ridiculous concept. It's long been a staple in comics that superheroes have some sort of enemy that is just like them, but evil. It makes for a good "dark reflection" character conflict, as well as an easy way to give them a foe who is definitionally an even match. Bizarro takes…

With Batman captured inside the Ark M facility and Bane revealed as the monstrosity that he is, Bruce must now find a way out before he is totally broken. What this comic does more than anything else is take Batman to his lowest point in order to test his resolve in a crucible of desperation.…

Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I just got back from the new Superman movie, and I figured I might as well abuse this platform to give my spoiler-free thoughts on it (you can also view our official site review here). Firstly I just want to say that the cast was phenomenal. Everyone did a great…

Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! As I write this, there are tons of fireworks going off outside my window and I'm just hoping that my dog is able to stay asleep without getting too stressed out. Thunderstorms bother her, but weirdly enough she's actually been fine with fireworks so far. Oh well, she's weird and…

Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Fourth of July is coming up, which for our American readers means a chance to eat too many hamburgers, get a sunburn, and then watch some fireworks. Hopefully by the time that happens this massive heat wave dissipates. If you do end up stuck inside where it's cooler, here are…

Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! After the September solicitations were released this week, Deniz Camp stated that Absolute Martian Manhunter will be taking a two month break after issue #6 so that he and artist Javier Rodríguez can have the time they need to keep quality consistent without fill-ins. I'm sad to see that it's…

Back in February, it was announced that Matt Fraction would be taking over the Batman title in September with a new #1 issue. The current arc of "H2SH" was scheduled to run from Batman #158-163, ending in August before the series would begin its renumbering. However, since then, the comic has been met with multiple…

As far as World's Finest is concerned, "We Are Yesterday" is done. The event still has a few more entries over in Justice League Unlimited, but the Bronze Age Batman and Superman now return to their regularly scheduled adventures. As is often the case in between big arcs on this title, we get a much…
