10 on Upcoming Comics December 18, 2024Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Oh boy, this week is a big one. A lot of bat books had their schedules jostles by the holidays which seems to have created a perfect storm for us here at Batman-News (poor Akash!). I guess when you have a week like the last one that's so small, eventually…
As another year comes to a close, the holiday season is upon us once again. It’s a season of gift-giving, merriment, good cheer, and spending time with loved ones. Whether you’re looking for the perfect gift for the Batman fan in your life, or you are that Batman fan hoping for the perfect gift, peruse…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I just started watching Creature Commandos, and I'm enjoying it so far. It definitely leans into Gunn's style of raunchy, irreverent humor and action which will certainly not be for everyone, but it has a lot of style and the characters are pretty instantly engaging. Hopefully the show continues to…
Lady Shiva has returned to warn her daughter, Cassandra Cain a.k.a. Batgirl, that they’re in grave danger and need to leave Gotham immediately. The threat is the mysterious Unburied, and they have even Shiva concerned. Batgirl reluctantly agrees to team with her mother, but their foes remain determined to take them down. The first issue…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I'm currently writing this while recovering from a mild coma due to turkey and mashed potatoes, so I'll keep things brief. All In seems to have fallen into its "groove" which is arguably both a good and bad thing. It's good because I think it's successfully established itself as a…
In the last issue of The Last Halloween, Batman and Robin were further investigating into the kidnapping of James Gordon Jr., and these new copycat Holiday killers who have been taking out Batman’s rogues. The issue ended with Batman being potentially framed for murder. Is the FBI involved somehow? And why are the villains specifically…
So we’re at the penultimate issue of this anthology comic that has stuttered throughout most of its run. It has been harder and harder to recommend this series with each passing month, considering the overall poor quality of the stories, but the last few issues have had a few gems. Let’s hope this volume of…
So the League’s finally back after a long (and somewhat unnecessary) hiatus after the events of Absolute Power, having realized that the world needs the Justice League to protect its people. Is the return of the World’s Greatest Superheroes as grand as promised? If you’ve read my segments of the DC All-in review as well…
After the team was put on the proverbial shelf in the aftermath of Dark Crisis, the World's Greatest Super Heroes are back and are bigger than they have ever been. Justice League Unlimited promises to follow the footsteps of its animated counterpart and have the team be able to deploy specific heroes to counter every type of threat…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Thanksgiving is coming up, which means that time of year where we get to meet up with the extended family that we haven't seen in a while. For some of us, it's a time of excitement to spend time with the people we've missed and look forward to talking to.…
So, with the latest run on Catwoman starting on a strong enough hook, does this issue carry the momentum forward? Or has this cat been de-clawed and cornered early on in the run? Alright, in my last review, I had an issue with the writing, where despite having a good voice for dialogue, the scenarios…
Renee Montoya’s career as the Question reaches new heights… literally, as she finds herself stationed on the Justice League Watchtower. As someone who loved the journey writer Greg Rucka took her on and has also felt that she has sort of lacked a sense of stability since, does this new series put her on the…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I don't have too much to say as we continue on in the second month of All In, so I'll do something unusual and plug the competition coming out this week. By far my favorite comic coming out right now is Ultimate Spider-Man, and I highly recommend it to anyone…
By all accounts DC's line of Compact Comics have been a major success. First launching in June of 2024, fans and retailers alike have praised them as a cheap and accessible way to get some of DC's most popular stories. These collections stand at a minute 5.5" x 8.5", the same as a trade paperback…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! We're now entering month two of DC's "All In" and I still think that they're in a really strong position. I dunno, maybe I'm still just a bit hyped up from getting to attend all the announcement panels at NYCC. Certainly not every title has been a winner, but overall…
Cassandra Cain is getting the spotlight in her first solo Batgirl series in nearly two decades. Writer Tate Brombal, artist Takeshi Miyazawa, and colorist Mike Spicer team up to bring this story to life. Brombal has said that this series will include some family drama, undiscovered secrets coming to light, and lots of martial-arts action.…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's election season, and boy oh boy it's taken over everything here with the big day right around the corner. My state isn't even technically a "swing state" anymore and political ads still seem to be on every single commercial. I can't imagine what it must be like in Pennsylvania.…
The timing of The Last Halloween #2 couldn’t have been more perfect with the release falling on the day before Halloween (day of for this review). Oh the synergy! Issue #1 brought us back to the Gotham that Jeph Loeb and the late Tim Sale created decades ago, and it was an excellent start and…
A New Scene for Ms. Harleen When a new creative team hops onto an ongoing title, they’ve really got two options: do they continue with the narrative momentum of the old guard, hoping to deliver a seamless reader transition, or do they wipe the slate clean and announce their presence? It’s a new…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I was pretty skeptical at the outset, but both the Absolute Universe and DC's All In have seriously impressed me so far. It's been a long time since I've said this, but it feels like DC is in a good place right now. It has a lot of really solid…
