16 on Upcoming Comics March 26, 2025Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! In preparation for Hush 2, (I'm sorry, H2SH) I decided to reread the original story from 2002. Doing so reminded me how much it feels less like a story, and more just a showcase of everything Batman, drawn as a series of splashy set pieces. The overall narrative barely holds…
Ladies, gentlemen, non-binary friends…it’s finally happened. An issue of Catwoman where we get to experience the rare phenomenon of plot progression as this issue finally starts to utilize all the plot points this series has acquired so far. Does it do it well? The story opens with the death of one of Selina’s old acquaintances…
The Blue Blur meets The Scarlet Speedster, The Ultimate Life Form meets The Caped Crusader, The Strongest Thing Alive meets The Man of Steel! As you may have guessed, this week marks the first of the 5 issue DC x Sonic The Hedgehog series. While I haven't read any Sonic comics before, I'm a massive fan of the 2d…
Two cities at war, lost love reignited, a magic conspiracy, and on top of all that a villainous plant monster orchestrating it all. You almost think it'd be too much to cover in only three issues. Sadly, you'd probably be right. Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #37 wraps up the team up arc with Aquaman, and it…
After last month's detour into the depths of the juvenile detention system, the story returns to the ongoing Asema mystery and the ethical question of who deserves to live or die. With still a few issues left before everything resolves, this issue brings us a small step closer to the identity of the Asema serial…
With this issue, Scott Snyder wraps up the first arc of his wildly popular Absolute Batman series. DC has to be happy with how the entire Absolute line has been turning out, but this title particularly has dominated the sales charts since it debuted. At first glance, it'd easy to write it off as a…
Dick Grayson is fighting an uphill battle against corruption in Dan Watters' Nightwing #124. Despite brokering an uneasy peace, a mad arms dealer instigates a war between the gangs and the Blüdhaven police. To make matters worse, Nightwing risks his life to help the gangs by any means. This includes taking it upon himself to…
The Question: All Along the Watchtower #5 is a collection of cliches with the Question’s blank mask slapped on top of it. All right, review over. Recommended If —---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *gets an email from the editor “What?” *a few angry back-and-forths later “Fine, I’ll write an actual review.” —------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This series has been extremely disappointing to…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Is everyone else watching Invincible? If you aren't you really should be. Season 3 just ended and the last two episode were absolutely wild - some of the best TV I've seen in a good while, and definitely some of the best superhero TV out there. The show is about…
Memento is still on the loose and continues to wreak havoc in Gotham. And it doesn’t help that Batman is still feeling the effects of the Gravedigger’s Poppy toxin and that Damian doesn’t want to be Robin anymore. Batman is also suspicious of Damian’s mentor at Sacred Heart, Dr. Bashar, as he believes Dr. Bashar…
Sturgeon’s Law tells us that, in any given medium, 90% of what you come across is crap. And when you read a half-dozen stories per month which all take place in the same fictional city and revolve around the same cast of characters, that speculative statistic can really start to take its toll. But…
After an interlude focusing on how Vampire Diana and Green Lantern Alfred deal with living in this new world, we’re back to the main story where a three-way conflict between the vampires, the humans, and a newly introduced third party of Darkseid and his forces. The situation is poised to be extremely chaotic and, dare…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This week is pretty short, but I suppose that's appropriate for the shortest week of the year. That's right, Daylight Savings is back and that means that everyone loses an hour Sunday morning. No one likes it, but we as a society just can't seem to get rid of the…
The end is nigh! The end of Batman: Full Moon, that is. Bruce Wayne is a werewolf, Zatanna and Constantine are here, and now they're going to search for a cure. There have been some up and down moments for me in this book but I'd say I've enjoyed it overall. Let's hope this last issue…
We’re here at the tail end of Divide & Conquer which only had two parts but still managed to be a really enjoyable read! I’ve criticized Kelly Thompson for being much weaker at these shorter stories but this is definitely an exception! So while our super heroines are split apart and finishing their battles we…
Confronted with the shocking truth about the Shadow Hand, Harvey retreats into the trippy confines of his mind. Consequently, "Good Harvey" and "Bad Harvey" have their long awaited face to face. At least, if you buy into Harvey's deep psychological dissociation. In any case, Christian Ward seizes the opportunity to explore Tw0-Face's life-long victimization from…
The Unburied strikes again! And this time, the mysterious monk-warriors have captured Lady Shiva and taken her to an unknown location. Even though their relationship has been tumultuous to say the least, Batgirl does care about her mother and is now in hot pursuit of her captors. Will Cass be able to save Shiva before…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I'm going to keep it brief this week because I'm sick. Let's take a look at some comics. Upcoming Comics Two-Face #4 Pushed to the brink, Harvey Dent’s mask of sanity is slipping, leading him to the deepest recesses of his own twisted mind, as memories collide with haunting traumas…
After taking a month off, The Last Halloween is back with issue #5. Batman is now back to investigating into the mystery surrounding these new copycat Holiday shootings. He’s still recovering from being shot by Mario Falcone and now a wild card has entered the game… The Joker! How will the Clown Prince of Crime…
Every year, my New Year’s Resolution is to travel more. Then I remember that traveling on a student budget is impossible in this economy. So when I escape into a comforting comic book and see an undeniably hard-working character like Harley Quinn take a personal day and hide away in nature for a rest…
