11 on Upcoming Comics: July 21, 2020October solicitations dropped last week, and there are some interesting reveals… A number of books appear to be heading in an interesting direction, and I’m especially curious to see what they do with Grifter in Batman. I can’t say that I like that new costume design they featured for Batman though. It… is awful. DC…
Haha, Batman looks funny in that picture. Anyway, would any of you mind if I copy-pasted what I said about this book last week? I joke, of course, but I can’t deny there’s going to be a lot of repetition here. This story covers some ground that has potential, at least conceptually… but I’m not…
Nightwing #72 isn’t the book to read if you’re looking for a great Dick Grayson story. There’s a new status quo going on here, not just for Dick himself, but for the series’ own identity. The “Joker War” has fully taken over Dan Jurgens and Ronan Cliquet’s Nightwing. With the Joker’s appearance fully upgraded from…
The first issue of Death Metal set quite a dark tone for the series. It promised a dark fantasy take on the DC Universe, and its aesthetic matched that tone well. This issue, however, breaks from the established tone and the story seems less focused because of it. Oh, and there is also that other…
The Teen Titans are still on the hunt for Brother Blood's killer. Feeling responsible for him and his fate, they've set to figuring out the mystery behind his death. As they investigate, what unsavory truths will come to light, and is Robin really bent on killing criminals now? The issue follows Robin as he tracks…
Before Ram V and Fernando Blanco take over the series proper in two months, we have a two-issue arc courtesy of writers Blake Northcott and Sean Gordon Murphy with art by Cian Tormey. While last month’s fill-in issue went high in the camp factor, Catwoman #23 feels like a love letter to 80s action exploitation…
What a week! After a dry spell of actual news, we finally got a few announcements this week! Matt Reeves will head a Gotham PD series on HBOMax! I can’t stress how excited this makes me, and I’m crossing my fingers that he pulls from Gotham Central. If you’ve read that book, then you know…
Well, thank God for Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch for delivering a well-thought, meticulously planned Batman story that has actual stakes and consequences, and focuses on telling a good story rather than relying on shock value and gimmicks. The Story The Batman’s Grave has definitely been a slow burn, and there have been moments where…
And with that, Robert Venditti’s run on Justice League is over! …Yes, you’re right, that did happen last issue. I happened to not notice it, on account of reading the wrong solicitation for this issue. In my defense, it’s hard to tell at first. In the first issue of Simon Spurrier’s “The Rule”, Aaron Lopresti’s…
We’ve got another issue of Batman & the Outsiders, and I can’t help but feel that Bryan Hill and Dexter Soy are still spinning their wheels a little bit… The Story You all know that I’ve been a champion for Batman & the Outsiders, and that’s not changing. However, between last month’s issue, and this…
And the story of DCeased continues! This sequel is set five years after the original miniseries. At the end of the original, the surviving superheroes fled to Earth-2, and at the start of this sequel, some of those heroes have to return to the zombie-infested world from whence they came. As far as first chapters…
I am a fan of both Peter Tomasi and Brad Walker. Tomasi has written some of my all-time favorite comics and I always really appreciate Walker’s dynamic and upbeat art style. But…I really don’t like this issue. I don’t entirely blame that on the creative team, though—it’s this Joker War nonsense that completely interrupts a…
After hunting across Los Angeles in search of her best friend’s killer, Harley Quinn has finally learned the truth behind what happened to Alicia. At the root of everything was Granny Goodness, out to sew the seeds of despair in the world. Now, it’s up to Harley to stop her and avenge her friend’s death. …
Things are really starting to come together in Young Justice. Last month Bart revealed that the universe forgot about Conner, as a result of a reboot. Now it’s Conner’s turn to be there for Bart as he asks his friend just exactly how he knows all of this information. As someone who still reads mostly…
If James Tynion wanted people to take his run seriously, then this is definitely not the way to do it… I mean, I lost count of how many times I rolled my eyes while reading this... The Story I’m going to try my best to not sound like a broken record, but it’s going to…
I hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July! I know this year's festivities probably weren't what many of you were hoping for, but holidays - or moments and memories in general - are honestly what you make of them. So, hopefully it was one for the books! Alright, on to business. This…
Well, this is going to be short and sweet! DC doesn’t have any new, physical comics hitting shelves this week other than a few graphic novels. As bummed as that might make some of you, keep in mind that there is a logistical reason for this since DC will no longer use Diamond as their…
Harley Quinn & the Birds of Prey #2 dropped, and just like the film, it’s a whole lot of Harley Quinn and very little Birds of Prey. But unlike the film, this book doesn’t try to hide that reality, and instead fully embraces it! Is this the right book for you though? That’s the real…
I genuinely don’t know what to think of the conclusion to Robert Venditti’s “Cold War” arc. I’ve sat with it a while, and I’m still not really sure about it. It’s not that the ending is particularly mind-boggling, or even particularly bad; really, this issue is about the same level of quality as the rest…
This month, the Suicide Squad heads to Gotham City as they continue to flee Ted Kord and a horde of assassins and mercenaries. And when you enter the city of the Dark Knight, you’re bound to run into him… So, how interesting is it that this – of all the issues to date – is…
