1 on DC announces Absolute Evil one-shots for OctoberThis October marks the first anniversary of DC's All In initiative, as well as its Absolute line. To celebrate, they've announced 2 Absolute universe one-shots, as well as pivotal issues in each of the books. The highlight of these one-shots takes the form of Absolute Evil, written by Al Ewing, with art by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Stefano Nes. The comic…
There have been a lot of different Batman comics over the decades. Understandably, most of them focus on the Dark Knight himself, or his extensive "Bat-family", with stories ranging from street-level detective stories to time-hopping adventures to intergalactic journeys, and anything in between. An aspect of the Batman mythos that too often gets overlooked is…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I just got back from the new Superman movie, and I figured I might as well abuse this platform to give my spoiler-free thoughts on it (you can also view our official site review here). Firstly I just want to say that the cast was phenomenal. Everyone did a great…
With the premiere of James Gunn’s “Superman” mere days away, we find ourselves squarely in the midst of one of the most anticipatory weeks in the recent memories of DC fans. Gunn and company will (hopefully) be getting back to Supes’ roots and traditions and will (hopefully) be exemplifying all the hallmarks of a classic…
Time is running out! Batman is still desperately trying to find Damian before it’s too late. As Robin is imprisoned in a subterranean part of Gotham that has long been abandoned, the origins of Memento finally get revealed. Will the Caped Crusader be able to save Damian’s soul from this otherworldly adversary? While it took…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! As I write this, there are tons of fireworks going off outside my window and I'm just hoping that my dog is able to stay asleep without getting too stressed out. Thunderstorms bother her, but weirdly enough she's actually been fine with fireworks so far. Oh well, she's weird and…
After taking a two-issue detour going over Lady Shiva’s backstory, we are back in the present day in Batgirl #9. Cassandra Cain seeks out Ben Turner, a.k.a. the Bronze Tiger, at her mother’s behest before her demise in the hands of the Unburied. Cass wants retribution but as more unexpected secrets get revealed, more enemies…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Fourth of July is coming up, which for our American readers means a chance to eat too many hamburgers, get a sunburn, and then watch some fireworks. Hopefully by the time that happens this massive heat wave dissipates. If you do end up stuck inside where it's cooler, here are…
Local politics are in the news this week here in good old NYC. The sun is blazing, the humidity is oppressing, but nothing can stop motivated New Yorkers from getting out there and doing their boring civic duty. Funny that local political procedure is at the center of this month’s Harley Quinn. Let’s just hope…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! After the September solicitations were released this week, Deniz Camp stated that Absolute Martian Manhunter will be taking a two month break after issue #6 so that he and artist Javier Rodríguez can have the time they need to keep quality consistent without fill-ins. I'm sad to see that it's…
Next week, New History of The DC Universe will hit the stands. Written by Mark Waid (Kingdom Come, Worlds Finest, Superman: Birthright) and drawn by Todd Nauck (Amazing Spider-Man, Teen Titans Go!) and Jerry Ordway (The power of Shazam!, Crisis on Infinite Earths) the series will chronicle a revised, canonical history of the DC Universe. It will release in 4…
Back in February, it was announced that Matt Fraction would be taking over the Batman title in September with a new #1 issue. The current arc of "H2SH" was scheduled to run from Batman #158-163, ending in August before the series would begin its renumbering. However, since then, the comic has been met with multiple…
Red Hood will soon be getting a new ongoing series written by Gretchen Felker-Martin (Manhunt, Cuckoo) with art by Jeff Spokes (Jenny Sparks). Coming this September, Red Hood will be both rated for mature readers (17+) and set in DC's main continuity. The story will see Jason Todd teaming up with Huntress Helena Bertinelli to…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Some of you may be disappointed to learn that I infiltrated the DC Comics offices to delay the next few issues of Batman. I had a lot of stuff going on those weekends and didn't feel like writing a review for H2SH, so I made it that Batman #161 wouldn't…
Here we are again… now enter the demon, Etrigan! In Batman and Robin #22, Batman and Lieutenant Lautrec continue their search for Damian. This eventually leads them to seek out Jason Blood. Meanwhile, Damian comes face to face with a figure from Bruce’s past whom might have direct ties to the mystery surrounding Memento. Dark…
Pareidolia: the human psychological tendencies to see patterns and recognizable forms among random objects or stimuli. It’s seeing a shocked face in an electrical outlet. An animal in the clouds. A hunter among the stars. Or a killer smile in the ring pattern of moisture left on a surface by a glass of water. Thomas…
The critically-acclaimed duo of writer Jeff Lemire and artist Dustin Nguyen reunite for the second entry of their Robin & Batman series. This new three-issue miniseries focuses on the second Robin, Jason Todd. Will Robin & Batman: Jason Todd be able to maintain the quality of the predecessor? Let’s get into it with my thoughts…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! According to sales data, the Absolute line is absolutely crushing it for DC pretty much across the board. I'm sure they're really happy about that. However, there's potentially a downside to that story in that a number of the "normal" DC titles have been falling at the same time. Now…
In part two of “The Book of Shiva” arc, Cassandra continues to read the diary that her mother left her. After going over her tragic beginnings, Shiva now recounts her and her sister’s journey to America. Along that journey, the sisters encounter some of the most fearsome martial artists in all of the DC Universe…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This week the baby Robins who had been nesting on my back deck flew away. I'd been watching their progress tirelessly ever since the mama bird started building the nest a few weeks ago. Now that they're gone I'll need to stop spamming my friends with update pictures and find…
