32 on Red Hood getting mature-rated comic series this SeptemberRed Hood will soon be getting a new ongoing series written by Gretchen Felker-Martin (Manhunt, Cuckoo) with art by Jeff Spokes (Jenny Sparks). Coming this September, Red Hood will be both rated for mature readers (17+) and set in DC's main continuity. The story will see Jason Todd teaming up with Huntress Helena Bertinelli to…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Some of you may be disappointed to learn that I infiltrated the DC Comics offices to delay the next few issues of Batman. I had a lot of stuff going on those weekends and didn't feel like writing a review for H2SH, so I made it that Batman #161 wouldn't…
With the horrors of Ark M revealed, Batman launches a crusade to put a stop to it and save his missing friend. The bulk of the issue is centered on Bruce's search for Waylon, though "investigation" would be a strong word. Given the danger that Waylon is in, Bruce takes a far more physical approach…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! According to sales data, the Absolute line is absolutely crushing it for DC pretty much across the board. I'm sure they're really happy about that. However, there's potentially a downside to that story in that a number of the "normal" DC titles have been falling at the same time. Now…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This week the baby Robins who had been nesting on my back deck flew away. I'd been watching their progress tirelessly ever since the mama bird started building the nest a few weeks ago. Now that they're gone I'll need to stop spamming my friends with update pictures and find…
The last issue had a bit of a problem with contrived drama. Fans of Jason Todd would be especially upset, as it rolled back a lot of his character in order to rehash an argument he's been having with Batman for almost 20 years now. The optimist might have seen that and hoped that it…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's a pretty short one this week (at least for bat books), but some would argue what's left is the true Trinity of DC Comics: Batman, Harley Quinn, and a crossover event. Upcoming Comics Batman #160 The gentleman’s name is Silence, and his alliance with Hush will destroy Batman! Thoughts:…
Akash and I continue our crossover review for Part Four of the “We Are Yesterday” crossover event between our titles. As always, my comments will be in blue, while Akash’s comments will be in purple. Right away this issue's opening does a good job of quickly establishing the kind of story you should expect. Right away…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! As you might have noticed, we have an op-ed up on the site this morning. What you might have also noticed is that it's part of a series. Moving forward, we plan to have regular articles put up as part of "From the Batman News Desk", where the different writers…
Welcome to From the Batman News Desk, a new series of op-eds and articles covering various aspects of Batman history. Each week one of the Batman News writers will share their thoughts on Batman characters and concepts across comics, film, television, and more. Fans and detractors alike could probably all agree that Tim Drake is…
Every year since 1988 the comic industry has presented the Eisner Awards to creators who have shaped the medium. This year celebrates a wide range of genres, styles, and publishers. Helen of Wyndhorn and Lunar New Year Love Story are tied for the most nominations among the titles with four each, and Tom King leads creators…
With Black Mask out of the way, last issue introduced the next threat looming over the horizon: the Ark M facility and whatever it is that's going on inside. Supposedly, this issue "concludes" that two-parter before an impossibly even larger Bane shows up next month. I use scare quotes there because this issue is less…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! There's been a lot of talk behind the scenes lately here at Batman News. I won't give too much away until we get everything sorted, but in the coming week we should be rolling out a project that's been on the backburner for a long time, perhaps too long. It…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Normally I use this space to wax poetic about my thoughts on current comic happenings which catch my interest, but today I want to gush about the new movie Sinners. Not only is it a totally original movie that the director managed to get the rights to from the studio…
Akash and I continue our crossover review for Part Three of the "We Are Yesterday" crossover event between our titles. My comments will be in blue, while Akash's comments will be in purple. Well after a "first" issue that hardly had anything to do with the crossover, and a second issue that was mostly exposition…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's the fifth Wednesday of the month, which means it's an Annual day. Most comics are on a set monthly schedule, which means that when there's an extra week they don't really have much to fill the slot aside from special Annual issues. Though sometimes you get exceptions like when…
It's now Jason Todd's turn to have the Hush-style spotlight shone on him for an issue. He wasn't around (well, sort of) for the original storyline when just about every other Batman character got theirs, so he needs to make up for lost time. The way these generally go is we get an overview of…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This Wednesday is a special occasion for me here at Batman News. It's actually my three year anniversary writing for the site! Over the course of those three years, I've written 327 articles including this one. It'll be 328 when Batman #159 comes out the day of. I feel like…
Last August, the Gotham City Sirens of Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn returned for the first time in over a decade. That four-part miniseries by writer Leah Williams along with artists Matteo Lolli, Daniel Hillyard, and Triona Farrell saw the trio go up against the evil cowboy gang known as the Nasty Boys. Now,…
For the next couple of months, Batman/Superman: World's Finest and Justice League Unlimited will be sharing a storyline as part of the "We Are Yesterday" crossover event. As such, we decided that it would be a good idea for Akash and I team up and discuss our thoughts on the event together. You'll be able…
