12 on Upcoming Comics: October 27, 2020Good morning, Bat fans! What a day for new releases, huh? Three Jokers is wrapping up its run. Batgirl is coming to an end! Red Hood’s Outlaw saga is coming to an end! We’ve got the second-to-last issue of Suicide Squad… And what does all of this mean? That Endless Winter is coming followed by…
Well… This is not what I was hoping for. I guess when life gives you lemons, make lemonade with Lady Shiva? The Story For nearly its entire run, I’ve praised Bryan Edward Hill’s Batman & the Outsiders. With Dexter Soy and some other artists, these creatives have managed to craft a strong story that continued…
With “Joker War” behind us, one has to wonder what James Tynion has planned for the remainder of his run. We know that his run was originally intended to be a short stint just to get to 5G and that he changed the ending of “Joker War”, but after some solid sales and with 5G…
First things first, I just wanted to provide a huge apology to everyone that frequents the site concerning my tardiness as of late. Without going into too much detail, my life was completely uprooted, so I’ve been in the process of moving, while also traveling for my day job and working ungodly hours. Things are…
New York Comic-Con is underway, but there hasn’t been much news coming out of it at all – or at least not on the Batman front. I honestly didn’t expect much, but I thought DC might have some reveals just because we’re getting closer to the new status quo. I guess we’ll just have to…
You know how I’ve spent most of “Joker War” complaining about nothing happening? Well, when you get down to it, that remains true even in this final issue. If you’re looking for a bloated story with absolutely no stakes, no direction, and no actual plot or payoff, then Joker War is the story for you.…
The big book for the week is Batman #100! Will people be talking about it? Of course they will! The real question is whether or not the bizz behind the issue will be positive or negative... What are you expecting? Something great, or will you be let down? Alright, on to business. This week’s releases…
It’s been a hot minute since we’ve gotten an issue of Harley Quinn & the Birds of Prey, but this issue definitely delivers and is a blast to read! The Story When it was announced that Harley Quinn & the Birds of Prey would reunite Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti with Harley, I was excited!…
Dark Nights: Death Metal: Multiverses End. Damn… That’s a mouthful. With a title like that, it should be a fair warning to stay away. And honestly, you might want to stay away because this is not good. The Story James Tynion. I think, by now, it’s pretty clear that his writing style doesn’t jive with…
With Marvel moving all of their movies into 2021, one has to wonder… Will Wonder Woman 1984 receive the same fate? Only time will tell. With a lack of movies hitting, I hope you’ve taken advantage of this time to read some new comics. I’ve personally been rereading old favorites of mine, and have been…
I’m seeing quite a bit of praise for Suicide Squad #9 because of the shocking conclusion… Meanwhile, I’m over here like, “Umm… Did you not see the barrage of media spoiling this issue a little while back? I mean, if you work in comics, there’s no way you missed it.” So, no, I didn’t find…
It’s a new week! We’ve got new books! And… I think we all just really want to get to January. Right? I can’t be the only one, right? Right?!? Also… Congratulations to Watchmen and for killing it at the Emmy Awards last night! Alright, on to business. This week’s releases are listed according to our anticipation…
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch continue to deliver solid work with The Batman’s Grave. The Story The Batman’s Grave #10 continues to pull all of the various plot threads together as Batman sets his sights on Scorn to bring him down. I’ve seen readers complain that…
Batman #99 is supposed to be the penultimate issue of “Joker War,” but there’s nothing worthy of that classification. All this issue really is, are bloated exposition, villainous grandstanding, nonsensical speeches, and more regurgitation. The Story Oh boy, where do I start? Half of this issue is nothing more than the Joker having some ridiculous…
December solicitations were released last week, and there were some interesting details. We now have a glimpse of the month-long event, “Endless Winter.” We’ve got a slew of Death Metal tie-ins. There’s the Generations Shattered one-shot. Tom King and Clay Mann’s Batman/ Catwoman has finally been solicited. Batman: Black & White is coming back. Mark…
Considering this is the second-to-last issue of Batman & the Outsiders, I expected things to move pretty quickly… But I didn’t expect them to move this fast! The Story Batman & the Outsiders #16 delivers what we’ve been waiting for since the very beginning: the final battle with Ra’s al Ghul. While the confrontation itself…
We’ve got a light week this week. If you’ve been reading Batman & the Outsiders, then you have that to look forward to, otherwise, there’s you might out of luck. I mean, I guess if you’re on the Death Metal train, you’ve got the Trinity issue, but, I’m pretty much over events right now. I…
Dear God, this is one wordy, mess of a book that tries way too hard to create a moment… It’s clear that I’m not a fan of James Tynion’s Batman. I just don’t feel that the quality of execution is there. That’s me. I know many people don’t share my sentiments, and that is ok.…
We’ve got chapter four of “Joker War” hitting stands this week, and all I can think about is, “Man, Three Jokers was pretty solid, wasn’t it? Can’t wait to get my hands on the next issue.” I guess we’ll just have to settle with this for now. Or, we could read DCeased or Justice League.…
For months now, I’ve praised Suicide Squad as being one of the best in-continuity books hitting shelves for DC Comics. While that sentiment remains, this chapter is easily one of the weakest in the run. It was recently announced that this iteration of Suicide Squad would end with issue #11. Feel sudden? Yeah, I agree.…
