2 on Suicide Squad: Dream Team #2 ReviewThe new Squad has been assembled and tasked with infiltrating the island nation of Gamorra to stop some insurgents from taking over the island’s weapons and defense systems. But not all is what it seems as Amanda Waller obviously has an ulterior motive, and Nia Nal, a.k.a. Dreamer, is caught in Waller’s warpath. Does the…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Once again we've got a big week for Batman. In fact there are almost twice as many bat titles than non-bat DC books coming out. Maybe counting Suicide Squad is debatable, but let's face it that team's been a "Harley and friends" title since the New 52 started. Last I…
On the 3rd of April, DC announced From the DC Vault: Death in the Family: Robin Lives! (wow, try saying that three times fast). This story is a continuation of the alternate version of Batman #428 released in 2023. For those who don't know what on earth this means, allow me to explain. In 1988's A…
Mystery Inc. are back at it again this month. It's one of the books I most look forward to, as most of the time the issues are pretty solid. Even if they don't end up being amazing, they're pretty harmless little romps that don't make me, say, actively hate comics, which is more than I…
As Poison Ivy experiences an agonizing brush with death, her mind continues to flash back to her origin. Issue #21 wraps up this arc, giving readers their promised explanation of how Pamela Isley became Poison Ivy. From a plot perspective, this new origin is pretty simple: Ivy is experimented upon by Dr. Jason Woodrue, gains…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! April's gonna be a big month for me here at Batman News because, in addition to my normal reviews, I'll be putting a series of retrospective editorials. It's something I've had cooking in the background for a while now and will hopefully lead to more like it in the future.…
On Tuesday, DC announced Joker: The World, a spiritual successor to the Batman book with the same subtitle. For those of you who haven't read or heard about these books, let me catch you up to speed. Joker: The World will be a one-shot anthology with 13 stories, each set in a different country from…
So, the creative team behind the critically acclaimed Superman: Space Age is back again to deliver their take on the Dark Knight. Except…if you have read said acclaimed story, they already kind of did their own take on Batman. But this is a chance to look at the world from what they perceive as Batman’s…
Harley Quinn #38 begins by giving us a day in the life of Professor Harleen Quinzel, living in romantic bliss with Poison Ivy and gleefully holding down a steady teaching job at Gotham Community College. It’s the type of quotidian, slice-of-life montage that passes by almost too rosily, leaving us to wonder when the other…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This one's going up a little later than usual. Some of you might think that's because I got distracted and forgot. That is libel, and I will not stand for it. I had no choice but to delay this post. There I was, deep in the jungles of Santa Prisca.…
Fresh off the heels of an Oscar win, will the King of Monsters be able to hold its ground against the Justice League and King Kong? Will we find out in this issue? Let’s see. Not so King Kong The situation is bleak. Superman is incapacitated. Monsters are everywhere. Our heroes must formulate a plan…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I've been in a really good comics mood lately because I'm just about finished up with my reading list for a big project that I'll hopefully get written up soon. I won't give too much away except that it involves some of my favorite Batman comics of all time and…
Originally published as a well-received graphic novel, Batman and Robin and Howard gets reimagined as a four-part series. It is written and drawn by New York Times bestselling author, Jeffrey Brown, and colored by Silvana Brys. For those unfamiliar with the original, the story revolves around Damian Wayne while he transfers to a new school…
The creative team of writer Nicole Maines, penciler Eddy Barrows, inker Eber Ferreira, and colorist Adriano Lucas come together to bring to life a new iteration of Task Force X who go on a new mission that spins off from the Titans: Beast World storyline. For this new ongoing series, the hero Dreamer is the central…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's a good thing that we just hired a bunch of new reviewers because, as you can see, there are plenty of new Batman titles starting this week. There's more coming later in the month as well. That's great news for all you Batman fans out there, but it's all…
For my first piece for Batman News, we go back in time to Batman's first case. Yes, we're going to be looking at Dan Jurgens' The Bat-Man: First Knight. This is the first book of a 3 issue Black Label series going back to the Caped Crusader's roots, but does it justify its place among…
Bats and Scoob are back, and this time in an ongoing series! Join me as we delve into the next collaboration between Mystery Inc. and the Caped Crusader. What puzzles will await? Zoinks! I hadn't read any of the previous Scooby-Doo/Batman comics before reading this. What I had seen, however, was a DVD copy of…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's the start of a new era here at Batman News. As you may have seen, we've got a new batch of reviewers joining the team, and we're all excited to see what kind of work they cook up. Two of them are hitting the ground running with titles to…
One of the things we love most about comics is how they connect us together, uniting fans in celebration of the medium. We don't always agree on everything, but we share a passion for comics and, specifically, Batman. With so many Batman comics being published, and many more on the way, we wanted to bring…
For years, almost all comic book publishers released new issues on Wednesdays. This was largely driven by the shipping schedules of Diamond Comic Distributors, who had handled distribution for most of the industry since the 90s. Comics publishing used to be much less centralized before then, with numerous distributors for various local markets. However, after…
