11 on Detective Comics #1089 reviewNow that it's over I feel I can finally review Ram V's story properly. Possibly more so than any other run on a superhero comic I've read, V's Detective Comics can only really be appreciated as a whole. It was always the most common complaint in my reviews that the pacing was too slow, and…
In honor of Batman day, DC Comics and SEGA of America released a special teaser animation on Saturday showing off Shadow the Hedgehog as none other than the Dark Knight himself. More than that, however, DC referred to it as a preview of things to come leading to speculation as to what that might mean…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This is the end, beautiful friend. I've been talking a lot about how DC is in a state of transition, but it's never been more apparent than this week. I count three runs ending and three more series finishing up entirely. Let's take a look as DC closes the book…
Gotham's most famous criminal lawyer finally gets a title all his own. Starting December 4th, writer Christian Ward (Batman: City of Madness) and artist Fábio Veras are coming together to bring us a limited series exploring the intricacies of Harvey Dent's split psyche. Created as part of DC's "All In" initiative, the story will see…
The sun rises on a new World's Finest adventure, this time featuring the Justice League (and a surprise bonus team at the end). As with all arcs in this series, it begins with a lighthearted and low-stakes intro to set the tone before things go South. There's no better way to do that than to…
After 85 years, Batman is getting his recognition as one of the most iconic superheroes of all time. This September he'll be receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame alongside legends such as Adam West from the hit 1966 show and Batman co-creator Bob Kane. The decision was actually announced some time ago,…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This week is a surprisingly normal (and small) one compared to everything else that's been happening around DC the past month or so. Enjoy it while it lasts, because next week will be heading right back into the world of finales, events, and creative team changes. Upcoming Comics Batman/Superman: World's…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! There are a lot of penultimate issues this week (plus one that was supposed to be penultimate but ended up just being the end). Once more a reminder for the big shakeup at DC coming in a month. If nothing else, it'll offer a fresh new start for both new…
Last month I gave a tentatively positive review to that issue's cliffhanger ending, with the caveat that it would need to rely on this issue to follow through. Well, suffice to say it failed to follow through. Rather than an exhilarating action sequence showing how Batman and Catwoman's combined tactical and martial prowess allow them…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Boy, there sure are a ton of bat books this week. I would chalk it up to the big event going on, but that's really only one book we're covering, and there are hardly any other DC titles. Two of the titles are final issues and another two are penultimate,…
At long last the Orghams begin to crumble. Over the course of the entire run, we've seen their hubris grow along with their power, making them the kind of villain you desperately want to see fall. The fact that they repeatedly ruined Batman's life and everything he fought for certainly doesn't help in that regard,…
As part of a promotional tie-in to their All-In initiative this October, DC Comics is sending out official Justice League membership cards to local retailers. According to a post made by Scott Snyder on X (formerly Twitter): THE DC ALL IN #1 Special that launches everything the 1st week of October focuses on the rebirth…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! With the "All In" relaunch coming in October, everything at DC has had a weird feeling about it. There's this sense that we're just waiting for everything wrap up so that the shiny new titles can begin. Sales numbers also reflect that. I sure hope that the new initiative lands…
Every time a major arc concludes in this series, we get a smaller-scale story exploring some significant "first" for the World's Finest. These are often my favorite stories of the run. Unbeholden to any world-shattering plot, it allows for a tight adventure told over the course of one or two issues, which is where I…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! With November's solicits that came out Friday, we've got a better look at what DC's All-In will look like, and I'm super excited for Cass to have her own Batgirl run again. It's probably foolish to get my hopes up too much, but Puckett's Batgirl run from 2000 is fantastic…
Cassandra Cain was the first ever Batgirl to get her own solo series back in 2000 after her spectacular debut in the No Man's Land event. It ran for over 70 issues before she eventually gave up the mantle to Stephanie Brown in 2009. Since that time, who "is" and "isn't" Batgirl became somewhat of…
Last Christmas, Batman and Santa Claus teamed up to defeat Krampus in Batman – Santa Claus: Silent Knight. It was a holiday special miniseries unlike any you'd likely seen before. Filled with Norse mythology, wild action, and hordes of demons, it was about as crazy as one could expect from the Yuletide season. Fans wanted…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's another one of those weeks where almost everything is a bat book, so let's just dive right in and see what's in store! Upcoming Comics DC vs Vampires: World War V #1 The smash-hit series returns! It’s the dead of winter, and any hope for a fragile truce between…
Absolute Power is in full swing, and you know what that means: tie-ins! Last month only the backup was connected to the event, but now everything is related in some way or another to the plan to rid the world of superheroes. More specifically, Batman recruits Catwoman to help him steal a Mother Box from…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! The night is darkest just before the dawn, so last week's pittance of comics is now followed by a veritable deluge of bat books. Let's take a look: Upcoming Comics Gotham City Sirens #1 When a violent and highly illegal energy drink-sponsored hunting operation threatens the lives of wildlife and…
