Well, well, well, look who it is. Seriously, I thought I was the only one in the world looking forward to this comic because I was reviewing it. These massive delays between issues seriously make me question the point of releasing this comic as a “monthly” title when most people will probably discover the trade…
Bane has made his way to Dinosaur Island to claim it for himself and for other reasons unknown. But the Dynamic Duo is hot on his trail and is looking to figure out what his plans are. Damian also has another agenda: revenge for Alfred’s murder. Will this father-son trip to this prehistoric land unearth…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It seems that DC Comics set out to make me look a fool. Last week I made such a big deal about the fact that comics would be coming out on Wednesdays, only for digital copies to come out on Tuesday regardless. But it's not my fault! All of the…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! The mathematically inclined of you may have noticed that July 3rd is a Wednesday, and not the normal Tuesday release day for DC. Well, in case you missed it, DC is moving their comic day back to Wednesdays. It seems that the strategy of pushing releases one day ahead of…
There are probably questions regarding why there hasn’t been a review of this title for the last two months. Well, there was a huge fight over who should get to review this amazing anthology between Chris and me. In the end, we had a duel over who should get to do it — non-lethally, of…
In the ongoing game of costumed heroes and villains, most people live double lives, carefully balancing crucial information and protecting secret identities. Harley Quinn is not most people. So if the GCPD thinks they can force her to keep their secrets, they have another thing coming. Quit Buggin’ Me! This month’s Harley Quinn issue sees…
This month’s Penguin issue is a tale of two beatdowns. Luckily, the far more satisfying of the two beatdowns is the one we close things out with here in issue #11. I for one wish somebody would ask Tom King to get to the point. Tom King and Rafael De LaTorre’s twelve-issue Penguin' series has…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I'm sure many of you are completely sick of hearing about how hot it is outside recently, well strap in because I'm gonna whine about it too. Pushing up against triple digit temperatures every day for a week is not OK. The other day when I needed to do some…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! There's an extra issue of Batman in June coming out this week. It's not going bi-weekly or anything, but I'm pretty certain they felt the need to wrap everything up before Absolute Power hits next month. I hope you're all ready for that to take over a bunch of DC…
We’re close to the finish line, folks. Normally, this is the part of the story where all the disparate elements are brought together cohesively, and everything begins to make sense. Unfortunately, each issue of the Hill (featuring the Red Hood when they remember he’s supposed to be here) has focused on different elements each month,…
Once rivals, now… friends? Damian Wayne and Howard have actually become really good friends, but something is still bothering Damian: Batman is still missing. And Howard is starting to sense something is off. Will they find the Caped Crusader? And will they get to the bottom of all the series of odd crimes involving the…
Dreamer has been captured by Task Force X, and they are on their way to deliver her to Amanda Waller, as she has plans for the dream-walking heroine. Will the Squad see that they are on the wrong side of this fight and back up Dreamer? Or is there nothing stopping Amanda Waller from achieving…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! We're one month away from the Absolute Power event, and you can see it as the solicits of multiple titles starting to allude to it. However, I'm actually less interested in the event itself (which I expect to play out similarly to the other half dozen events from the past…
The universe has many constants. The sun will always rise in the morning, it will set at night, and every month, a new issue of The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries will release. This month sees the return of artist Dario Brizuela to the series, whose art featured in the first issue of the series I…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I was finally able to publish my Batsuit history article this week! You should check it out if you haven't. It was a lot of fun doing all the research and tracking down as many suit variations as I could (even though I'm sure I still missed some). I have…
We’re at the halfway point of this mini, and the series is moving along at a decent clip. Bruce has become Batman and is now taking the fight back against the people behind the loss of not only his parents but also usurping his rightful legacy as an aid in their corruption. Where do we…
Since last we checked in with the talented Mr. Cobblepot, DC announced that Tom King’s “Penguin” series will come to an end after 12 issues. This doesn’t exactly come as any surprise. Given that the very first issue teases the end of the narrative, giving the book a “let’s look back and see how we…
Last month, I called the 2024 annual the Harley Quinn Book of the Year. Though that excellent outing was the product of a guest creative team, this reviewer has strong hopes that editorial can build on that momentum. We open with Harley meeting up once again with Mr. Freeze to discuss his ongoing offers for…
Batman: The Long Halloween is one of the most well-known, celebrated, and influential Batman comics of all time. Written by Jeph Loeb and illustrated by the late Tim Sale, it debuted as a 13-issue limited series in 1996. Telling the story of how District Attorney Harvey Dent became the infamous Two-Face amidst a string a…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! One of my favorite things to do as a Batman fan is to find hidden gems in the backlog. Beneath all the bombastic events and superstar runs, there are often lesser known stories and runs that are criminally underlooked. Thanks to a comment left by user Madeleine a couple months…
