In honor of Batman day, DC Comics and SEGA of America released a special teaser animation on Saturday showing off Shadow the Hedgehog as none other than the Dark Knight himself. More than that, however, DC referred to it as a preview of things to come leading to speculation as to what that might mean…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This is the end, beautiful friend. I've been talking a lot about how DC is in a state of transition, but it's never been more apparent than this week. I count three runs ending and three more series finishing up entirely. Let's take a look as DC closes the book…
A new grounded Batman maxi-series is coming just in time for the holidays. Written by Dan Watters (Nightwing), art by Hayden Sherman (Absolute Wonder Woman), colors by Tríona Farrell (Women of Marvel), and lettering by Frank Cvetkovic (DC's How to Lose a Guy Gardner in 10 Days), Dark Patterns is set during the early days…
Gotham's most famous criminal lawyer finally gets a title all his own. Starting December 4th, writer Christian Ward (Batman: City of Madness) and artist Fábio Veras are coming together to bring us a limited series exploring the intricacies of Harvey Dent's split psyche. Created as part of DC's "All In" initiative, the story will see…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This week is a surprisingly normal (and small) one compared to everything else that's been happening around DC the past month or so. Enjoy it while it lasts, because next week will be heading right back into the world of finales, events, and creative team changes. Upcoming Comics Batman/Superman: World's…
Joshua Williamson ends his run on Batman & Robin with this issue, and it also concludes the Dinosaur Island arc. When we left the story last month, Damian Wayne had just bested Bane in a fight and decided to spare his foe’s life. But Bane’s daughter, Vengeance, had the last laugh and injected Damian with…
After addressing the state of the world after what had happened in the previous series while also setting up the events of this comic, World War V has done enough to prepare its readers for what’s to come. Now, what does it do with all this valuable setup? The Plot Thickens…Pun Absolutely Intended So, I…
Hey, it only took two months to get a new issue of Echoes. And I actually thought the last issue was pretty decent, all things considered. Does the series start moving at a decent pace from here? The Art Does So Much Work… Joe Quinones and Leonardo Ito bring their A-game to this issue. It…
I’m not a crook. I’ve never committed a crime worthy of a story. But I am from New Jersey. And when you’re born and raised in New Jersey, you come to learn a couple of things about how a great crime story should go. As I’ve mentioned in previous reviews of…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! There are a lot of penultimate issues this week (plus one that was supposed to be penultimate but ended up just being the end). Once more a reminder for the big shakeup at DC coming in a month. If nothing else, it'll offer a fresh new start for both new…
Let’s say you’re writing a four-part ensemble story. You’ve laid out maybe a dozen different elements in the forms of plot threads, character ideas, and avenues for social or political commentary. Your story is moving along at an entertainingly fast clip for the first three parts, and now your remaining challenge is to bring it…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Boy, there sure are a ton of bat books this week. I would chalk it up to the big event going on, but that's really only one book we're covering, and there are hardly any other DC titles. Two of the titles are final issues and another two are penultimate,…
After a four-month hiatus, the space odyssey that is Batman: Off-World returns for its fifth issue. Batman has taken the fight to the Blakksun Mining Company as he tries to liberate the enslaved colonies across the Slag Galaxy. To combat Batman’s advances, the Blakksun Twins have hired their stormchaser known as The Thanagarian to take…
In the first issue of Absolute Power: Origins, Amanda Waller’s motivations were revealed. To be honest, those motivations didn’t make sense and the issue fell flat. But now that we know how she established her ties with the government; with the second issue, we find out how she created the infamous Task Force X a.k.a.…
Do you watch BreadTube-style video essays? I sure watch a hell of BreadTube-style videos essays, especially for someone who essentially has no idea what that means. I was simply told recently that I watch and enjoy a lot of BreadTube style video essays. One of the things you come to learn if you watch…
So, after taking half the series to do so, Batman: The Dark Age finally began to chart its own course separate from its predecessor. Does that trend continue, or do Mark Russell and the Allreds fall back into old habits? So This May Come as a Shock, But Batman Has a Tragic Backstory… I’m being…
As part of a promotional tie-in to their All-In initiative this October, DC Comics is sending out official Justice League membership cards to local retailers. According to a post made by Scott Snyder on X (formerly Twitter): THE DC ALL IN #1 Special that launches everything the 1st week of October focuses on the rebirth…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! With the "All In" relaunch coming in October, everything at DC has had a weird feeling about it. There's this sense that we're just waiting for everything wrap up so that the shiny new titles can begin. Sales numbers also reflect that. I sure hope that the new initiative lands…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! With November's solicits that came out Friday, we've got a better look at what DC's All-In will look like, and I'm super excited for Cass to have her own Batgirl run again. It's probably foolish to get my hopes up too much, but Puckett's Batgirl run from 2000 is fantastic…
Damian Wayne is still grieving about the death of Alfred and has his sights set on Bane to enact his revenge. His warpath has led him and Batman to Dinosaur Island where Bane has retreated to. Will Damian actually kill Bane and proceed to go down a dark road from which he can’t return? Issue…
