7 on Cassandra Cain to star in new Batgirl series this NovemberCassandra 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…
I’ve recently been spending a good deal of time with somebody who likes to describe things as “camp”. As in, a lot of things. At first, I had no idea what exactly he meant when he used the word. After my strategy of waiting around to see if any sort of pattern revealed itself failed,…
So here’s the much-awaited (?) sequel to the hit (?) mini-series DC vs. Vampires - the kind of cleverly named DC vs Vampires: World War V. While I was one of the few people who was initially ok with the liberties being taken in the first part for the sake of the story, even I…
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…
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…
🎶And now the end is near. And so I face the final curtain🎶 Well, Jason’s latest mini-series - set before Gotham War, so ultimately, any developments here are rendered moot - comes to a close. My biggest complaints about this series were a) not using Jason enough despite him being the title character and b)…
Well, that was predictable, now wasn’t it, Officer Pulaski? Last month, a semi-rogue GCDP Detective tried to cut a deal with one Harley Quinn, hoping she’d trade information on the Bat-Family in exchange for punitive leniency for those inevitable moments when she traipses back over to the wrong side of the law. But Officer…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Very few comics this week since it's the fifth comic day of the month, and therefor outside of the normal schedule for most series. Usually DC would fill weeks like this with specials and annuals (and there is one of those coming out) but I think everyone is probably so…
DC is returning to its classic bullet Logo it used from 1977 to 2005 across all forms of media from comics to movies. DC announced on Friday that it is returning to the classic Logo that most current fans grew up with. It was designed by Milton Glaser, the graphic designer who was a;so responsible for…
DC’s Absolute Power crossover event has kicked off and with Origins, this three-issue miniseries goes over the backstory of the event’s linchpin and main antagonist: Amanda Waller. Waller is on a warpath against heroes and vigilantes, and this series is suppose to explain her motivations. Does the first issue give a clear picture on why…
One of my recurring complaints about this series has been that it never quite managed to escape the shadow of its predecessor, making it feel like an unnecessary sequel. Superman: Space Age had already devoted plenty of time to its version of Batman. Does that change, or is Pariah going to show up for another…
So I just read Tom King’s The Human Target recently and have some thoughts. And those same thoughts came up while I was reading this issue of The Brave and the Bold. Namely, how much a character can end up defined by a few stories that people remember, even if they have grown out of…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! We learned a ton this week about what'll be happening this October at DC. From a brand new Absolute Universe to tons of creative team changes, especially for bat books. I think the last DC initiative, Dawn of DC, got off to a really bad start by almost immediately pausing…
On Wednesday we learned that DC will be launching their "All In" initiative this October. In addition to the announcement of a brand new "Absolute Universe", a number of new creative teams and storylines in the main universe will be starting at the same time. Now with the release of October's official solicitations, we know…
For comic fans, amassing a collection of single issues, graphic novels, and omnibus collections is a never-ending endeavor. With access to comic shops and online vendors alike, it’s never been easier to buy comics to start, continue, or complete your collection. As if a collection is ever complete. You know what I mean. To make…
After weeks of speculation, rumors, and perhaps an accidental early reveal, DC has announced that the DC Universe will soon be split in two. This October, the 64-page DC All In Special #1 one-shot by Scott Snyder, Joshua Williamson, Daniel Sampere, and Wes Craig will close the book on the storyline that began back in…
Starting this October, writer Mark Waid and artist Chris Samnee will be coming together to bring us Batman and Robin: Year One. This 12-issue series will explore the early days of the duo's relationship, as Bruce learns to take on a paternal role he was never prepared for. While Batman and Robin are the stars…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! You've probably noticed that a lot of bat books are either wrapping up their runs or ending all together. These all line up for this October, which just so happens to be the solicitations that DC will be announcing at this year's San Diego Comic-Con. I have a feeling that…
For months now there have been rumors and leaks regarding a so-called "Absolute Universe" meant to spin out of the Absolute Power event. This is purported to be a parallel, ongoing shared DC universe, similar to Marvel's "Ultimate" Universes. Free from the constraints of the main continuity, it would offer creators the ability to give…
