34 on Upcoming Comics: July 20, 2016Oh yeah! SDCC is this week, and I’m counting down every day until I’m in San Diego, and basking in complete nerd ecstasy!!! As I said last week, if you want some play by plays of what’s going down at SDCC, make sure you follow Andrew, Brandon, and I on Twitter! We’ll make sure any…
It’s that time again! Each week you’ve been voting on your favorite cover in our Upcoming Comics post, and now we’re bringing those winners together into one poll to decide which comics will compete in our Best Cover of 2016 cover poll at the end of the year. I guess you can essentially look at…
We’re roughly ten days away from SDCC, and I’m getting REALLY EXCITED! Andrew, Brandon, and I will be attending this year, and we’re starting to plan what we’ll cover throughout the weekend. At the moment, we are working with DC to schedule some interviews, and we should have the full schedule of SDCC events soon…
For my fellow Americans, I want to wish you all a happy 4th of July! If you plan on setting off fireworks, be safe! And no drinking and driving, because that would make Batman sad. In other news, I was OVERJOYED to learn that Midnighter would make his return in October! Following up on Midnighter,…
Warning: The next paragraph is only slightly humorous if you read it with an Australian accent that resembles Steve Irwin’s… and even then, it’s still slightly stupid. We’ve encountered a rare, magical specimen known as the fifth Wednesday! Thought to be just a legend, we now have proof that fifth Wednesdays do, in fact, exist,…
Since the beginning, I’ve found Deathstroke to be a rather enjoyable book. Under Tony S. Daniel, it was incredibly violent and depicted with quite a bit of realism, but the edge fit. This is the world’s greatest assassin after all. As the Rebirth train started coming into play, the title shifted from Daniel to James…
It’s the final issue of Suicide Squad’s Most Wanted: Deadshot/ Katana, and I’m stoked to see how Buccellato wraps up Deadshot. As for Katana, if I could get away without reading or reviewing it, I would be one happy man. But alas, that didn’t happen. This month, Katana is the leading story, but since I…
Considering this issue focuses on Lex Luthor, and that we already received quite a few answers concerning him in Action Comics, I felt like this book was going to be a waste of time. I was wrong! Yes, I wish this story would’ve been released prior to Action Comics, but it still works well and…
Well, I thought we were going to get some information on the new Justice League of America and Super Sons, but it looks like that will have to wait until next month… *womp womp* On a more positive note, we are getting a more realized glimpse of the direction of some books, and while most…
It is HOT in LA today! We’re reaching temperatures over 100 degrees, and I feel like I’m melting! Considering I grew up in Texas, you would think I’m used to this weather, but there is a difference… and that difference is air conditioning. Yes, I do have air conditioning here in LA, but I live…
I really love this book. New Suicide Squad has been an absolute joy under Tim Seeley and Juan Ferreyra (look at that cover!), and I’m going to hate seeing the team leave after next month’s issue. No, really… it’s going to be so hard to give up another good thing (Midnighter). So for now, I’m…
As it turns out, there was some shifting with the issues, and we did get the Robin issue this month. So… I have no clue what that means for next month. I’m sure it will be the “Darkseid War” aftermath issue, but I still don’t think that makes much sense considering all of the Justice…
I originally had a completely different introduction to this week’s post, but considering the events that took place in Orlando on Saturday night, as well as the threat that was prevented in Los Angeles yesterday, I felt like it would be a little too “oblivious” and inconsiderate not to change it. I’ve acknowledged and discussed…
I’m going to be honest, aside from Detective Comics and the digital release of Batman ’66 Meets Steed and Mrs. Peel, I’m not that excited about the books we’re covering this week. Thankfully, to make up for that – who am I kidding, Detective Comics alone makes me giddy as a goose! – there are…
So Rebirth was released last week…. And it was f#@#&%$ amazing!!! Make sure you check out Brandon’s review if you haven’t already done so. And if you thought I was excited about Rebirth before, I’m even more excited now that I’ve read Geoff Johns’ amazing launch! This week, we get Batman Rebirth #1, and I’m…
You know what I like about Deathstroke? I can always count on it to be entertaining! That might sound odd considering this book is about an assassin that does his fair share of dismembering people, but it’s always fast paced, and it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Yeah, there are times that it kind of…
Ah, Secret Six, your time has come to an end. I really wish I could say I’m going to miss this particular run, but I honestly think that saying goodbye is the best thing for now. Does that mean I hated this run? No, I just don’t think the book ever really found itself. I’ve…
As I’ve stated on numerous occasions now, I’m 50/50 with this title. Deadshot has been quite satisfying, while Katana hasn’t really cut it… Get it? Katana. Cut it... Anyway, last month’s issue showcased a surprising step up in quality for the latter title, and because of that, I didn’t encounter as much dread going into…
Holy Bat-Cow.... That was A LOT! Geoff Johns epic Justice League: Darkseid War comes to a close with this oversized issue, and it's great. Yes, some people will probably complain about events that occur in this issue, or the ending overall, but I ultimately feel like the creative team should be happy with the final…
It feels like Christmas! I’ve been waiting for Rebirth to launch, and it’s finally here! 80 pages of (what I hope to be) complete awesomeness… and it’s only $2.99! $2.99 people! On top of that, we’re also getting the finale to Justice League: Darkseid War and “The Final Days of Superman,” as well as the closing…
