44 on Upcoming Comics October 15, 2025Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! New York Comic Con is kicking off, and we’ve got Batman News reporters Chip and Chris on-site ready to break any news that might be coming out of it. Just yesterday it was announced that Absolute Catwoman is getting her own miniseries, and the convention is just getting started. Getting…

Last month, I gave this book its first lukewarm review. The first you'll find on this site, anyhow. I urged you, reader, to fear not. To trust in Misters Watters and Sherman to be cooking up something truly great. To trust that they would grace our shelves with something worthy of being the final act…

During the DC: Gotham City panel, a spinoff from Absolute Batman was announced titled Absolute Catwoman. The miniseries will be six issues and will be written by Che Grayson and with Bengal on the art. Some story details include Selina adventuring in London and returning to Gotham. It wasn't stated whether it's a prequel to…

After a two and a half month break, Batman: The Last Halloween is back with the penultimate issue of the sequel series to The Long Halloween. It has been over a year since this series started, and we are finally nearing the conclusion. The journey to get here has been hit-or-miss, so can Jeph Loeb…

The Quiet Man is on a quest for revenge, and the Dynamic Duo are caught in the middle of it. They will definitely won't be able to watch a movie while this guy is rampaging through Gotham. Last issue was a great way to start the new story arc. Will issue #26 continue the momentum?…

Somehow… Darkseid has returned. It's all been leading to this. Ever since the "All In" era in DC began with the All In Special one-shot that dropped a year ago, many of the mainline titles like Joshua Williamson's Superman run and Justice League Unlimited have been building up to this bombastic event. Now it's time.…

Last we left off, Batman was in a very bad way. He only just barely escaped Ark M's tortuous prison with plenty of scars to prove it, his friends have all been mutilated into cruel mockeries of their former selves, and Bane is preparing to finally break his body and spirit. If there were ever…

Batman comics have been running for almost a century now, with decades upon decades of new villains, new Robins, and an ever evolving sense of who the Caped Crusader is. Despite all this, there's often a desire to go back to the stories set during his earliest years when things were simpler. They offer a…

Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! There have been a lot of big announcements and new/ending titles in recent months (plus whatever’s coming next week at NYCC), and sometimes I think how crazy it is to be able to cover all of it. It’s a hobby where we’ve been able to come together and share our…

Cassandra, her brother Jade Tiger, and Jaya Jayesh are now on a journey to the Himalayas to meet with Nyssa al Ghul. Cass is still trepidatious about teaming with her once-enemy, Nyssa, but she will do what has to be done to deliver justice to the Unburied for Lady Shiva's death. But at what point…

Do you remember Tim Drake? It's understandable if you don't; sometimes it feels like neither do the people making comics. Believe it or not, he used to feature pretty heavily in a lot of Batman stories. That is, until around 2011 where he's sort of been without a home for the most part. Different writers…

Happy anniversary! No, not an anniversary of mine. Not an anniversary of yours either, although if you are celebrating an anniversary by all means, happy anniversary. No, the anniversary I'm talking about right now is the anniversary of the Absolute Universe! Pretty much one year ago today we had the DC All-In Special, which created the universe…

Last time we left our heroes protagonists, they were in the middle of recruiting for their heist. And we get a delightful bunch of characters that rarely get the spotlight as well as one new addition to the DC Universe. So, what does this issue bring? At this rate, I’m going to run out of…

Gotham Academy was a surprise highlight of the New 52 era back in 2014. On the surface it seemed like just another high school book aimed at younger readers, and in some ways it was that, but it had so much heart with a compelling story and characters that it quickly gained a cult following…

This comic is pointless and you should not buy it. Note that I said pointless, not necessarily bad. While there are plenty of things to like in this comic, especially if you are fans of a certain character who we will get more into later, this comic functionally has no reason to exist. Its predecessor…

Who are the Justice League villains that could be sprinkled throughout the new DCU? The Justice League is the most powerful superhero team in DC Comics, which means their enemies are some of the most dangerous villains ever created. From cosmic warlords to twisted masterminds, these are the Justice League villains that have tested Earth’s…

Next Wednesday, we get our first proper crossover of the Absolute universe with Absolute Evil, written by Al Ewing (Absolute Flash), with art by Giuseppe Camuncoli (Hellblazer) and Stefano Nesi (Batman). The one-shot will detail the meeting of several key players from the universe, from Ra's al Ghul to Hector Hammond, and feature looks at new characters such as this…

I have to give credit where credit is due. I have not been quiet about my dissatisfaction with this title. It has been somewhat of a repetitive slog, somehow simultaneously relying on gimmicky narrative overconceptualization and its main character’s basic, most recognizable shticks. It’s somehow been both too same-y and unnecessarily innovative. So when the…

The brand new era of Detective Comics finally arrives with Tom Taylor's next story arc. When Batman discovers forty-one dead souls on an abandoned ship, the detective must uncover their mysterious cause of death. However, just because the boat's-a-rockin' doesn't mean Batman should come-a-knockin. In fact, we'll discuss how brave our hero really is below!…

Thank God this series is coming to a close. Don’t get me wrong, it had its moments. While the sequel to DC vs Vampires has long given up any attempt at horror, it was occasionally entertaining as the equivalent to a B-grade, low-budget action flick. But those are usually good for cheap thrills and not…
