2 on Batman: The Brave and the Bold #18 ReviewIf you have been reading my reviews on this title (whenever I get around to doing them), you would learn that this anthology is a mixed bag at best. And yet for some reason I have yet to determine, the quality of the stories has gone up a bit. Perhaps it is the dying gasp…
Legendary Pictures Senior Vice President Bob Napton joined Jim Lee today to announce a sequel to their hit series Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong, set to release in Summer of 2025. He was excited to talk about how much people loved the first series, and that Godzilla studio Toho was eager for more. Writer…
Friday at this year's New York Comic Con, Jim Lee nostalgically recalled what he considered to be the "golden era" of DC Comics from 1985-1992. During that time DC put out a huge number of groundbreaking titles that pushed the edge of what a comic could be. That creative energy eventually formed into the Vertigo…
Over 20 years ago now, Jim Lee and Jeph Loeb came together to bring us Batman: Hush. Running from Batman #608-619, the Hush storyline instantly became a huge hit with fans. A perennial best-seller, it showed off some of Batman's most popular villains as well as the brand new villain "Hush" (AKA Thomas Elliot), all…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I'm here in New York, as you may have seen from my posts covering the convention, and things have been wild. I've spent so much time juggling covering panels, doing interviews, finding time to write, and finding time to enjoy the convention for myself. Don't get me wrong, I'm having…
DC's top talent gathered on Friday at New York Comic-Con to discuss their plans for the future of DC's All In. They discussed new and upcoming titles such as Jeremy Adams on Aquaman and Green Lantern: Fractured Spectrum, Joshua Williamson on Superman with Dan Mora, Mark Waid on Justice League Unlimited and Action Comics, Ram…
Hey everybody!!! With Jackson off to NYCC to bring us some spicy gossip on the happenings in the comic book entertainment world, I decided to step in for this issue. Not that I needed much convincing as we get to see a past version of my favorite superhero team and I get a chance to…
Similar to how Catwoman has a new creative team, the title has a new reviewer as I take over from the long-suffering William. Now I wanted to approach this series with fresh eyes, and as such I chose not to read any of the previous issues of the run in hopes that this would provide…
Fresh off the Absolute Power series, Batman/Superman: World's Finest writer Mark Waid tackles another historic DC era: the beginning of the Dynamic Duo in Batman and Robin: Year One. He'll be teaming up with artist Chris Samnee (Daredevil, Thor, Black Widow) for this 12-issue series. REUNITING THE ACCLAIMED TEAM OF MARK WAID AND CHRIS SAMNEE! While Bruce Wayne adjusts to…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! First I just want to comment on how big of a week this is for bat comics. If you were looking for a time to jump in (or back in), there'd be few better. Two brand new series are starting along with three brand new creative teams for existing titles.…
Yeah, I’m not going to sugarcoat it - the dreaded padding out of the story to make it 12 issues long has begun. Still, dear reader, I feel obligated to warn you of what to expect as we dive into this belfry of bat-themed bloodsuckers, so let me try to let you know what you…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's a short one this week, but what they lack in quantity they make up for in the headliner: Absolute Batman. It feels like they've been talking about this for months now, and it's the flagship title of their big, new Absolute Universe. There's a lot riding on it, and…
If there's one big Batman comic news story of the year, it is without a doubt Absolute Batman. DC has slowly drip fed information regarding what this series series will be for months, and now the debut is right around the corner. Scott Snyder has talked about how this is a much grittier Batman, removed…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! The era of "boy, it sure feels like everything is wrapping up" is over. October is here, and with it the new era of DC Comics. Their "All In" initiative kicks off with the DC All In Special, and throughout the rest of the month we'll be getting new titles,…
This past week, Ram V finished his two-year long "Gotham: Nocturne" saga, and with it his run on Detective Comics. Stepping into the role is writer Tom Taylor (Nightwing, Injustice) along with artist Mikel Janín (Batman, Grayson). As part of DC's "All In" initiative, the upcoming run promises to explore new villains as well as…
Absolute Power: Origins concludes with this third issue, and I haven’t been too hot on the series so far. Amanda Waller’s motivations behind the Absolute Power event have been confusing and a little convoluted, but does the third issue bring it home and paint a clear picture of why Waller is who she is? Let’s…
Jeph Loeb returns to the world that he and the legendary Tim Sale (R.I.P.) created in the mid-90s with Batman: The Long Halloween in this new sequel. When The Last Halloween was announced, expectations were unsurprisingly set extremely high. And with Tim Sale no longer with us, can Loeb craft a story that’s truly a…
This month, officially Tini Howard says goodbye to Gotham City by wrapping up her run on its most colorful character. This last entrance into this chapter of Harley Quinn’s adventures is an extended exercise in duality, one which meticulously wraps up the run’s major plot points while revisiting its major themes of redemption through emotional…
Wow, I should skip this title more often, it seems to improve the quality of the material I’m reviewing. Well, to an extent. So what have we got this time? What’s a Calendar? The premise of this one, if the title wasn’t enough of a giveaway, is that Calendar Man has kidnapped a bunch of…
