Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Recently DC Announced 2024's Summer event, and there's something about the wording that terrifies me. It's not the latest event, or the next big event, but "2024's Summer event". That, to me, indicates a clear editorial direction. Events are now the status quo meant to happen seasonally. It feels as…

Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Last week I commented on the fact that it was Valentine's Day, and sure I guess that's a holiday that some people are aware of, but now we can celebrate something much bigger. Join me and the rest of the Batman News crew as we ring in the day that…

Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Valentine's Day is here and that means love is in the air. DC may not be celebrating with any sort of specials or collections, but they've given us an even more wonderful gift: weekly releases of this new Joker story. Just the other day my wife asked me if we're…

Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This week's message is same as it's been: we're on the look out for new comic reviewers and are currently accepting applications from anyone who's interested. If you're a Batman fan and you have ~opinions~, then let us know! Step #1 Introduce yourself. We want to know who you are,…

Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! In case you missed it last week, we're putting out the call for new comic book reviewers! If you think you're interested and want to apply, just follow the steps below. We'll continue to post this at the top of Upcoming Comics for at least a few weeks to make…

Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Normally this intro paragraph would be filled with me rambling about whatever is on my mind at that moment (one of the benefits of being given power over this article), but this week we have a special announcement! Batman News is looking for new writers! If you have a passion…

Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's a short one this week, as we only have three titles and one of them is just the latest event. Could you imagine if DC had less than 28 events a year? There might be a few days without a long list of bat titles coming out, and I'd…

Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! As we dawn on a new year, it comes time to reflect upon our triumphs and regrets from the one past. I believe it is an inarguable truth that the most common regret would be not reading enough comics, and that rings especially true for Batman comics. After all, every…

Welcome back to a very merry Upcoming Comics! The yuletide season is upon us, and that means plenty of food, cold nights, and family. Of course, when you eventually get sick of your family, you'll need some comics to escape to. Well don't worry; we here at Batman News have got you covered. Let's take…

Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! We managed to get through the tidal wave of comics last week and now we're more or less back to normal. On that front, there isn't a whole lot to say about this week's comic lineup, as it's mostly business as usual. However, we'll be getting some new bat titles…

Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Buckle up, folks, this week is gonna be a long one. We've got ten titles to review, including one giant anthology collection. Christmas specials, the now seemingly bi-monthly events, and a couple black label bat books all aligned together to give us one heck of a busy week here at…

Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I don't know how many of you play tabletop RPGs, but I just finished running my first D&D campaign after 2 years. It only had 38 sessions (in case you wanted to know how difficult it can be to line up the schedules of five people in their late 20s),…

Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I don't know about you, but I am stuffed with stuffing and writing this up through a tryptophan-induced coma. Hopefully once all of this digests, I'll have the energy I'll need for these reviews, because pretty much from now until the end of the year we'll have our hands full…

Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I didn't have anything to review this week, so I spent my time finishing Baldur's Gate 3. What a fantastic game. Very few RPGs are able reach this level of reactivity and world depth. Especially early on, it feels as though there are a million small decisions you can make…
