13 on Upcoming Comics February 12, 2025Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's "the big game day" for anyone who lives here in the United States. Normally those who don't follow sports can carry on without giving them much thought, but the Super Bowl warps society around it in a way that can't be ignored. For example, I usually do my grocery…
It has been a little over five months since the last issue of Jason Aaron and Doug Mahnke’s epic space odyssey, but the finale of Batman: Off-World is finally here. Ione the Tamaranean, who was once thought as an ally to the Dark Knight but is now his betrayer, has turned Batman over to the…
In the last issue of Batgirl, Cassandra and Lady Shiva were fleeing from Gotham on a train to regroup and come up with a plan to confront the Unburied. That led them to meeting up with Nyssa al Ghul (who’s back from the dead somehow) and a couple of associates of the League of Shadows.…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I've been watching the new season of Harley Quinn and it feels like a major improvement on the last couple. Ever since Harley and Ivy got together at the end of season 2, there's been a real sense that the show didn't really know what to do with them. It…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's one of those fifth Wednesdays where there are hardly any comics get released. Normally they'd at least throw in some annuals or something, but they seem to be saving those for April. Well we might as well look at the plethora of titles that will be hitting shelves. Upcoming…
The first major crossover of DC's All In initiative is coming this April in a six-part story titled "We Are Yesterday". Writer Mark Waid will be joined by multiple writers and artists as the event spans Batman/Superman: World’s Finest and Justice League Unlimited. It will feature a time-spanning adventure starring some of DC's most infamous villains,…
It’s freezing here in New York City. Unseasonably low temperatures, even for the end of January. Harsh winters can be a time for cozy, unchallenging reads. Luckily, with this 47th issue of the ongoing adventures of Harley Quinn, I can tick one of those boxes. We’re back to the square run of this…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! We're starting to reach the time of year where I'm very tired of winter already, and yet there's still another 2 months of it. Once that's over it gets replaced with a time of year we here in the Midwest call "cold mud". We really seem to have set it…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Creature Commandos ended this week, and I have mixed feelings on the show as a whole. The highlight, for me, was definitely each of the individual backstory vignettes that were often tragically sad and made you sympathize with the commando in question. Though maybe there can be too much of…
All hell has broken out at Arkham Tower where Memento has struck once again. Batman was in the middle of interrogating Scarecrow about his potential connection to the mysterious villain, and now he has to fight his way out of all the hysteria. Meanwhile, Robin is still questioning if he should continue crime fighting or…
Writing comics must be tough. Writing big name, legacy characters for the Big 2 must be especially taxing. You’re dealing with multiple generations of dedicated fans and readers who feel real ownership over the stories featuring their favorite characters. Fans and readers who are constantly demanding that you, the faceless, often virtually nameless writer,…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Well the holidays are now over, and we can all recover from the weeks of eating too many sugary foods. All that's left is making it through the dreary months of January and February before the sun once again graces us with its presence. Until then, let's pull up a…
New year. New Batgirl issue. When we last left Batgirl, she and her mother, Lady Shiva, were ambushed by the mysterious monk-warriors, the Unburied, led by their leader Kalden. Cassandra and her mother narrowly escaped the assault, but Cassandra’s friends were not so lucky. Now, in full retreat mode on a train, Batgirl and Lady…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's a new year and that means new beginnings and new opportunities. For some, that might mean finding a new job, moving to a new home, or starting a new relationship. For others, it might just mean getting some new comics. Are those comics good enough to remain the highlight…
Batman has been shot on Christmas. He must have received some coal from jolly old Saint Nick. After confronting Mario Falcone for his suspected involvement with the kidnapping of Commissioner Gordon’s son, Batman has been severely wounded and on the verge of death. The Last Halloween #4 deals with the immediate aftermath and follows Robin…
When I came on board the Batman-News team, I was asked about any preferred titles I wanted to review. Despite the title not existing at the time, I asked for Justice League and continued to do so over the next few months, in a manner not dissimilar to the late Keith Giffen going “Jusstisss League”…
DC Comics recently revealed their solicitations for issues coming out in March, and for the most part it's about what you'd expect. There are a lot of continuations of ongoing series and a good number of first issues that had already been revealed as part of their All In initiative. However, there was one surprise…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's the holiday season, and comic day even happens to land squarely on Christmas this year. Sadly this means a lot of people will have to miss spending Christmas morning with their families in order to head to the comic shop instead. I'm sure they'll understand. Similarly, those comic store…
This year at NYCC, it was announced that Jim Lee and Jeph Loeb would soon be returning to Batman for the sequel to their hit story Batman: Hush. Titled Batman: H2SH, the storyline will kick off in March with Batman #158 and run for six issues through Batman #163 in August. In it, Bruce's childhood…
Memento is making his name known in Gotham with his recent attacks and is pushing Batman and Robin to their limits. This threat dates back centuries, but is this the original Memento or is this a copy cat? And what ties does he have with Bruce? The mystery is starting to unravel, and the duo’s…
