9 on New covers revealed for "Batman: H2SH", starting in Batman #158This year at NYCC, it was announced that Jim Lee and Jeph Loeb would soon be returning to Batman for the sequel to their hit story Batman: Hush. Titled Batman: H2SH, the storyline will kick off in March with Batman #158 and run for six issues through Batman #163 in August. In it, Bruce's childhood…
These intermission issues are very often my favorite stories in World's Finest. To this day my personal highlight of the run would have to be issue #12 where Robin and Supergirl go on a date that goes horribly. The reason they work so well (when they do) is that they allow for a breather from…
Can something be both dumb and cool at the same time? Can its "dumbness" make it cooler? It's a question that Scott Snyder has been toying with for the past decade with Batman, and has become a reoccurring theme throughout his work on the character. Batman is arguably a brand just as much as a…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Oh boy, this week is a big one. A lot of bat books had their schedules jostles by the holidays which seems to have created a perfect storm for us here at Batman-News (poor Akash!). I guess when you have a week like the last one that's so small, eventually…
WB Games Montréal, the developers behind games such as Batman: Arkham Origins, Gotham Knights, and assisting Rocksteady with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, recently announced that they will be laying off 99 employees. Most of those laid off come from Keywords, a subcontractor who works on quality assurance for WB Games. The news will…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I just started watching Creature Commandos, and I'm enjoying it so far. It definitely leans into Gunn's style of raunchy, irreverent humor and action which will certainly not be for everyone, but it has a lot of style and the characters are pretty instantly engaging. Hopefully the show continues to…
Sometimes even when something is all but over it can still find ways to surprise you. I admit I've probably become a bit of a broken record when talking about this title, in large part because the same core problems underlie so much of the run up until this point. "Dying City" was Zdarsky's final…
DC is launching a brand new way for you to get your comics, television, and movie news. DC Studios Showcase: The Official Podcast is a new, unscripted video podcast set to stream on Max and YouTube every other Friday. Hosted by Frankey Smith (Creator, Fanboy Fighter) and Tyler Coates (entertainment writer/editor, The Hollywood Reporter), along…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I'm currently writing this while recovering from a mild coma due to turkey and mashed potatoes, so I'll keep things brief. All In seems to have fallen into its "groove" which is arguably both a good and bad thing. It's good because I think it's successfully established itself as a…
If the last issue didn't make it clear enough, this one makes sure to hammer home what the arc's themes are. In fact, the main plot of finding out who the serial killer is has largely taken a backseat. Instead, the story is far more interested in what the killings mean for Batman's mental health…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Thanksgiving is coming up, which means that time of year where we get to meet up with the extended family that we haven't seen in a while. For some of us, it's a time of excitement to spend time with the people we've missed and look forward to talking to.…
Batman/Superman: World's Finest closes out another story arc, and it's sad to say that it's starting to feel a bit tired as it approaches three years. The underlying appeal is still there, Batman and Superman are still going on fun adventures together, but a number of the same problems keep showing up and becoming more…
In an interview with Rotten Tomatoes, actor Alan Tudyk revealed that in addition to Dr. Phosphorous, he will be playing the shapeshifting villain Clayface in the upcoming Creature Commandos. However, unlike his version of the character fans might be familiar with from the Harley Quinn show, this Clayface is less of an "idiot" and more…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I don't have too much to say as we continue on in the second month of All In, so I'll do something unusual and plug the competition coming out this week. By far my favorite comic coming out right now is Ultimate Spider-Man, and I highly recommend it to anyone…
By all accounts DC's line of Compact Comics have been a major success. First launching in June of 2024, fans and retailers alike have praised them as a cheap and accessible way to get some of DC's most popular stories. These collections stand at a minute 5.5" x 8.5", the same as a trade paperback…
Scott Snyder continues to build out the world of Absolute Batman as we get a closer look at not just Batman, but also the supporting cast that surrounds him. While the first issue sometimes felt like nonstop, high-octane fighting, this one takes an opportunity to settle in now that its tone has been established. That's…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! We're now entering month two of DC's "All In" and I still think that they're in a really strong position. I dunno, maybe I'm still just a bit hyped up from getting to attend all the announcement panels at NYCC. Certainly not every title has been a winner, but overall…
Just as with the last issue, Batman #154 can be separated into two component yet disparate parts: detective work and political conflict. Each one is given its own section of the story to occupy and so far they don't seem to much overlap. It's still early and Zdarsky has plenty of time to start tying…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's election season, and boy oh boy it's taken over everything here with the big day right around the corner. My state isn't even technically a "swing state" anymore and political ads still seem to be on every single commercial. I can't imagine what it must be like in Pennsylvania.…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I was pretty skeptical at the outset, but both the Absolute Universe and DC's All In have seriously impressed me so far. It's been a long time since I've said this, but it feels like DC is in a good place right now. It has a lot of really solid…
