22 on Detective Comics #1094 reviewIn the United States, over 25,000 children are currently held in juvenile detention facilities.

Aren't you supposed to be reviewing a…
It's hard being the one and only son of the Batman. In the first month since the events of Merry Little Batman, Damian has struggled with work/life balance.

Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! The big news that came out this week is definitely that Matt Fraction is taking over the Batman title.

For almost a century now, DC and Marvel Comics have been the biggest names in the American comic book industry. While their relationship has generally been kept cordial with talk of the "Distinguished Competition", they're still very much rivals. Only one publisher can be at the top of the sales charts. However, once in a…
With Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee's six-issue Batman: H2SH starting in March, DC has officially announced who will be replacing them as the ongoing creative team for Batman. This September, writer Matt Fraction (Hawkeye, Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen) will be joined by artist Jorge Jiménez (Batman) in launching a brand new run with Batman #1.…
What's that lurking in the shadows? A caped crusader? A boy wonder? How about a review of a comic featuring both of them! I must apologise for my absence, unfortunately, it couldn't be helped, but fear not! I'm back to give you all the down low on the newest issue of B&R: Y1 and let you…
With Batman, Superman, and Robin in Atlantis trying to fix the crisis that has developed, the story has really separated into three distinct plots. They're all connected by a main thread, but each goes off in their own direction. There's the battle with Woodrue as he tries to take over all plants in Atlantis, the…
Renee Montoya had one job as the head of security of the Watchtower, and so far, she has been terrible at it. Can she turn things around, or will she have to face unemployment… as well as the death of every superhero in the DC Universe because that’s what the Justice League is now? I…
After causing mayhem at a party of one of the Belov brothers, Selina makes her way to Japan in search of further answers. Does the location switch manage to liven up what has been a rather dull story so far? So stop me if you’ve heard this before. Catwoman is attacked by assailants who seem…
Nightwing is finding out that taking back the city isn't quite as easy as 1, 2, 3 in Nightwing #123. Lame joke aside, Dan Watters' "On With The Show" saga continues with a closer look at another Blüdhaven street gang. This time, we get the 4-1-1 on the so-called "Flyboiz." As Spheric and Helios seek…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I'm writing most of this ahead of time before the preview images go out because I'll be gone most of the weekend for my brother's wedding. He and his fiancée are great for each other and I'm super happy for them. There's been some chaos in the planning leading up…

Batman, along with Red Hood, are trying to end a shoot out between rival mobs. Meanwhile, Damian and Lieutenant Lautrec are investigating Scarecrow’s…
sigh Why do you keep doing this to me DC vs Vampires? Every time I think I should give up on you, you put in the bare minimum effort to keep this relationship going (Happy Valentine’s Week to our readers). And like a schmuck who doesn’t know any better, I choose to stay. Oh yeah,…
Batman's war against Black Mask and the Party Animals gang comes to a boiling point as he pushes the limits of their "truce". The continuous, back and forth antagonism between them has become a running theme of the story. Both rely on theatrics and shock and awe tactics to achieve their goals, and now they're…
When I first started writing comics reviews for this lovely website nearly a year ago, I sat down with a cup of Irish Breakfast tea and asked myself a crucial question: What makes a great Batman comic? After two days I had no answer. So I changed the question. Instead I asked: What…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's "the big game day" for anyone who lives here in the United States. Normally those who don't follow sports can carry on without giving them much thought, but the Super Bowl warps society around it in a way that can't be ignored. For example, I usually do my grocery…
It has been a little over five months since the last issue of Jason Aaron and Doug Mahnke’s epic space odyssey, but the finale of Batman: Off-World is finally here. Ione the Tamaranean, who was once thought as an ally to the Dark Knight but is now his betrayer, has turned Batman over to the…
After two and a half years, Chip Zdarsky's run on Batman comes to a close. Over the course of his roughly thirty issues, Zdarsky developed a clear thematic focus of using Batman's past as a way of examining his psyche. While certainly not the first writer to make Batman's origins central to the story he…
