5 on Upcoming Comics April 9, 2025Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! The world might be falling apart right now, but at least in Gotham everything being terrible is already the norm and there are fun bat-themed heroes. So let's dive into some comics where at the end of the day, justice prevails. Upcoming Comics Absolute Batman #7 It’s about to get…
In the last issue, Cassandra Cain attempted to rescue her mother, Lady Shiva, from the clutches of the Unburied. Unfortunately, she was unsuccessful and ended up getting captured as well. Now, both mother and daughter need to work together once more to escape before they meet their death sentence. Issue #5 was my favorite of…
Clover Press has launched a new Kickstarter campaign for The DC Art of Jorge Jiménez. You can head to the Kickstarter page now to back the project, which has already reached its goal and has 24 days to go. The campaign has numerous tiers to choose from basic editions to signed slipcases. Retailers can also…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I was recently talking with some of the other Batman News writers, and I think in many ways the Absolute line is what the New 52 should have been. One of the biggest problems back then was that as a reboot, it was filled with half measures. Batman is actually…
The mystery surrounding the copycat Holiday shootings resumes in The Last Halloween issue #6. Batman and Robin are looking for motivations for these attacks and for potential suspects, and they might have a lead. There are still many unanswered questions, so how will the Dynamic Duo solve the case? Enrico Marini handles the illustrations on…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! In preparation for Hush 2, (I'm sorry, H2SH) I decided to reread the original story from 2002. Doing so reminded me how much it feels less like a story, and more just a showcase of everything Batman, drawn as a series of splashy set pieces. The overall narrative barely holds…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Is everyone else watching Invincible? If you aren't you really should be. Season 3 just ended and the last two episode were absolutely wild - some of the best TV I've seen in a good while, and definitely some of the best superhero TV out there. The show is about…
Memento is still on the loose and continues to wreak havoc in Gotham. And it doesn’t help that Batman is still feeling the effects of the Gravedigger’s Poppy toxin and that Damian doesn’t want to be Robin anymore. Batman is also suspicious of Damian’s mentor at Sacred Heart, Dr. Bashar, as he believes Dr. Bashar…
Sturgeon’s Law tells us that, in any given medium, 90% of what you come across is crap. And when you read a half-dozen stories per month which all take place in the same fictional city and revolve around the same cast of characters, that speculative statistic can really start to take its toll. But…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This week is pretty short, but I suppose that's appropriate for the shortest week of the year. That's right, Daylight Savings is back and that means that everyone loses an hour Sunday morning. No one likes it, but we as a society just can't seem to get rid of the…
The Unburied strikes again! And this time, the mysterious monk-warriors have captured Lady Shiva and taken her to an unknown location. Even though their relationship has been tumultuous to say the least, Batgirl does care about her mother and is now in hot pursuit of her captors. Will Cass be able to save Shiva before…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I'm going to keep it brief this week because I'm sick. Let's take a look at some comics. Upcoming Comics Two-Face #4 Pushed to the brink, Harvey Dent’s mask of sanity is slipping, leading him to the deepest recesses of his own twisted mind, as memories collide with haunting traumas…
After taking a month off, The Last Halloween is back with issue #5. Batman is now back to investigating into the mystery surrounding these new copycat Holiday shootings. He’s still recovering from being shot by Mario Falcone and now a wild card has entered the game… The Joker! How will the Clown Prince of Crime…
Every year, my New Year’s Resolution is to travel more. Then I remember that traveling on a student budget is impossible in this economy. So when I escape into a comforting comic book and see an undeniably hard-working character like Harley Quinn take a personal day and hide away in nature for a rest…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! The big news that came out this week is definitely that Matt Fraction is taking over the Batman title. The folks at Batman News have definitely had a lot of speculation as to who would be replacing Zdarsky after the H2SH intermission, and I don't think anyone had him on…
For almost a century now, DC and Marvel Comics have been the biggest names in the American comic book industry. While their relationship has generally been kept cordial with talk of the "Distinguished Competition", they're still very much rivals. Only one publisher can be at the top of the sales charts. However, once in a…
With Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee's six-issue Batman: H2SH starting in March, DC has officially announced who will be replacing them as the ongoing creative team for Batman. This September, writer Matt Fraction (Hawkeye, Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen) will be joined by artist Jorge Jiménez (Batman) in launching a brand new run with Batman #1.…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I'm writing most of this ahead of time before the preview images go out because I'll be gone most of the weekend for my brother's wedding. He and his fiancée are great for each other and I'm super happy for them. There's been some chaos in the planning leading up…
For issue #18 of Batman & Robin, the Dynamic Duo are on separate missions in order to stop the chaos that’s ensuing due to the atrocities that Memento’s been committing throughout Gotham. Batman, along with Red Hood, are trying to end a shoot out between rival mobs. Meanwhile, Damian and Lieutenant Lautrec are investigating Scarecrow’s…
When I first started writing comics reviews for this lovely website nearly a year ago, I sat down with a cup of Irish Breakfast tea and asked myself a crucial question: What makes a great Batman comic? After two days I had no answer. So I changed the question. Instead I asked: What…
