3 on Upcoming Comics: April 22, 2020This week we received the exciting announcement that DC Comics will start publishing new books beginning next week! This is great news for a number of retailers who are still open and looking for something to help drive their business. Until then, DC is continuing their strategy of peppering in new digital releases, digital releases…
DC continues to pepper in some digital releases this week, so if you’re looking for some new comics to consume, you have options! Batman: The Adventure Continues #2 Batman's in the clutches of Lex Luthor and his powerful robot as the mad genuis races to open the vault he stole from Wayne Industries and claim…
New releases are still on hold due to Covid-19 and Diamond suspending their shipments, but there is a trade that’s being released digitally, so we wanted to share that information with you. Before we get to that though, we wanted to remind you about our Quarantine Book Club that we started! Last week we discussed…
Alright! Welcome to our first ever Quarantine Book Club! This week we will be discussing Batman: Prey by Doug Moench and Paul Gulacy. A little history on this story, it was originally released back in 1990 in Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, and is meant to serve as a follow-up to Batman: Year One…
What? An Upcoming Comics post? Didn’t Diamond announce that they were suspending shipments due to Covid-19? Doesn’t that mean that new releases won’t be hitting retailers for now? Yes. Yes. And yes. But… There are still a few things hitting digital this week, so we at least wanted to make sure you were aware of…
Many of us are under some form of quarantine or Stay at Home/Shelter in Place order to help stop the spread of Covid-19. It wasn't so bad at first. There was plenty of cleaning to do around the house, Tiger King just premiered on Netflix, and, most importantly, we were still able to fill our…
Captain Boomerang makes his glorious return to Suicide Squad, and I’ve never been happier to see him! The Story With the first mission out of the way, Tom Taylor turns the Squad’s attention to one of their former teammates, Captain Boomerang. Whenever Digger is around, you know things are bound to get interesting… Mainly because…
With most of the globe on lockdown, and with Diamond announcing they’ll suspend new shipments, it’s left us wondering, “What are we going to do?” Well, the first thing I recommend is to support your local comic shop if you’re able to. They need it! Since they won’t be receiving any newness, go buy some…
As I’m sure everyone is aware, we’re currently facing a global threat in the form of the Covid-19. For us in America, the past week has been unique and challenging – especially from a business standpoint. I’ve been in countless meetings, calls, and conferences to determine what’s best from a human and business perspective for…
The latest outing from DC Comics and Warner Home Media is the animated adaptation of one of DC’s best Elseworlds stories, Superman: Red Son! I was excited for this when it was announced at San Diego Comic-Con, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have some reservations. While I would consider DC’s animated…
The Batman’s Grave #6 manages to improve and also take a step back all at once. We’re still getting some quality work here, but is it enough to keep you invested through the remainder of the run or will you opt to trade-wait to finish the series? The Story I’ve praised this book ever since…
I keep hearing from people that work within the industry that DC Comics wants to create “classic” stories that can serve as evergreen trades that people continuously turn to (think Batman: Year One, The Dark Knight Returns, Batman: The Long Halloween, etc). Knowing that, I can’t help but want to hold up issues of Batman…
I know I’ve said this before, but I’m finding that I’m not overly excited about much of what DC Comics is doing right now. I’m hearing rumbles of good things on the horizon, but those stories are still months away. That being said, yes, I am, in fact, hearing that solid things are on the…
I’m not going to beat around the bush… Batman #90 isn’t a great issue. The book is terribly overwritten, and takes twenty pages to accomplish what should’ve only taken ten pages or less. Yes, it really is that padded. The Story This chapter of Batman kicks off with Selina finally revealing to Bruce what the…
We’ve got a light week ahead of us, but I think the real spotlight will be on Strange Adventures by Tom King, Mitch Gerads, and Doc Shaner. I know I’m excited, but I’m hoping this is more along the lines of Mister Miracle or Sheriff of Babylon and not Heroes in Crisis. Alright, on to…
When was the last time I had a super bitchy review about how terrible something was? It feels like it’s been a while. I know it hasn’t been, but I think I grew accustomed to lambasting books bi-weekly thanks to Tom King’s Batman that going more than a month without doing so feels weird. I…
If there’s one thing that’s certain, it’s that Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo know how to deliver an entertaining and engaging story! The Story Suicide Squad delivers its third issue, and man is this book an absolute blast! If you ever need a “How To” for writing ensemble teams, you should look here. Suicide Squad…
In case you missed the news, Dan DiDio is no longer Co-Publisher at DC Comics. While there’s no official word, all signs point to him being let go rather than leaving of his own will. Rumor is that the decision was made due to DC Comics losing quite a bit of talent who cited DiDio…
James Tynion’s Batman continues with the fourth chapter of “Their Dark Designs,” and the best way I can describe the book is "safe." It’s an enjoyable read, but despite some nice moments, the book fails to focus and deliver on its core story. The Story Since Tynion took the reins of Batman, we’ve been on…
New week. New releases. We’ve got a decent, albeit light, slate this week, but the debut of DCeased: Unkillables and Joker: Killer Smile has me pretty hyped. We also get to delve deeper into Tynion’s Batman and Venditti’s Justice League. It should be a quality week, but you never know these days. Alright, on to…
