12 on Nightwing #125 reviewThere's good news and bad news. The good news is, Nightwing's convoluted gang war finally dies down for the time being. However, the bad news is, the corrupt cops using Helios seemingly awaken something much worse. After a mysterious murder, Nightwing and Commissioner Sawyer end up on the wrong end of a deadly urban legend.…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! With the marketing push for the upcoming Superman movie shifting into full swing, it's almost funny to think about just how much is riding on its success. DC as a brand has a lot of baggage right now and I think a lot of audiences are waiting to see what…
Damian has been kidnapped! Now, Batman is frantically on the pursuit of his son’s captor, Memento. While still feeling the effects of the Gravedigger’s Poppy toxin, even the illustrious detective is having difficulties trying to figure out what to do next. But even with Damian gone, the Boy Wonder might still be able to help…
Last month, I was pretty coy about the big fun twist at the end of the issue. Let’s stop beating around the bush. So yes, the big fun twist at the end of last week’s issue is that the evil ventriloquist doll Scarface is no longer shackled to the word in physical form of…
So now that DC vs Vampires: World War V has done what every DC Elseworld does when it runs out of ideas and brings in Darkseid, the tone of this series has shifted from a tense survival horror (how tense was actually debatable) to a B-grade action movie with vampires and aliens. And honestly, it…
So far just about everything in this series could be summed up with the word "extreme", but this new arc injects a healthy dose of "weird" to go with it. This issue and the next are another guest artist intermission, and Marcos Martín along with colorist Muntsa Vicente help create an eerie sense of unease…
Teen Titans Go! is a series with a variety of opinions surrounding it. You have many fans of the original Teen Titans TV show (which is very good) who seem like they hate the show no matter what because it dared to be a different tone from the original. Now, you also have the opposite end of that…
Welcome 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…
One month after Harvey's fateful trial against himself, the team is finally able to restart the White Church. Albeit, this time Harvey uses his assistant, Lake Cantwell, to stand as the face of the court in his stead. Primarily, due to his inability to trust his own actions. Nonetheless, despite getting the court in order,…
Poison Ivy returns to Batman-News with the cigarettes and milk in a brand new review. Let's catch up! Pamela Isley is on a mildly homicidal redemption arc and is taking residence in Gotham's Slaughter Swamp with her friends. Unfortunately, due to her misguided actions, a war reignites between the forces of the Green and Grey.…
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…
A new story unfolds as we creep into a building with Cassandra Cain. So many bits of information to follow, separating our team and scattering them across the four corners of the planet. Each recon mission is written about in parallel so Kelly Thompson has to not just handle one new story but five! Let’s…
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…
Spring is in the air here in the good old Northeast. It’s a time in which even the most drab, gray, desaturated urban surfaces can feel renewed— or at least unthawed. I also think it’s a perfect time for our monthly check in with Gotham’s Favorite Anti-Hero Psycho-Clown. After an Amadeus-Arkham-journal-style flashback from evil…
If you’ve been reading my reviews for this series, you may have noticed a trend of the review scores slowly declining as all the problems I predicted the series would face started emerging one after the other. Does this issue manage to halt this negative progression in time for the crossover with World’s Finest? In…
Batman: Hush is an interesting comic to try and write a sequel to, because so much of the original is meant as a showcase of everything Batman comics have to offer. Yes, there's the overarching mystery of who is trying to kill Batman, but that's mostly just a loose thread tying together twelve separate chapters…
Well here it is, the comic that everyone's been waiting for. Absolute Batman? Who's that? H2SH? Never heard of it. No, this is what got the whole world talking, far beyond just the usual comic book circles. The responses seemed to range from disbelief to mockery to disgust. I'm sure on some level, DC knew…
In classic Batman '66 style, our last issue ended with a Boy Wonder in peril, and a Batman needing to rescue him. I must say, so far I am loving this series. My first concerns about having too much in the story were calmed very quickly and since then, I've just been enjoying the ride. The story's…
