8 on Two-Face #3 reviewChristian Ward's Two-Face has been amazing so far, but what is it all about? When the series began, Harvey Dent became an impromptu mediator for Gotham's criminal underworld. Although the White Church is a manifestation of Harvey's guilt, it seemingly serves as somewhat rehabilitation. Yet, a ominous Shadow Hand is intentionally sabotaging his venture with…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I've been watching the new season of Harley Quinn and it feels like a major improvement on the last couple. Ever since Harley and Ivy got together at the end of season 2, there's been a real sense that the show didn't really know what to do with them. It…
I'm back, out of reviewer retirement to help Jackson, Aaron, and Akash cover this holiday anthology. These books are always interesting though rarely consistent, so, let's see if it's worth a read! Lex Luthor in "Lex and the City" Aaron: Inspired by the column and hit television series of nearly the same name, writer Sina…
DC Power returns to celebrate yet another compilation of black led stories. Last year, creatives like Brandon Thomas, Khary Randolph, and N.K Jimisin brought their unique voices to the underrepresented pantheon of black characters. Directly following Absolute Power, this year's edition sets up the return of The Power Company. Outside of functioning as a backdoor…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's one of those fifth Wednesdays where there are hardly any comics get released. Normally they'd at least throw in some annuals or something, but they seem to be saving those for April. Well we might as well look at the plethora of titles that will be hitting shelves. Upcoming…
The first major crossover of DC's All In initiative is coming this April in a six-part story titled "We Are Yesterday". Writer Mark Waid will be joined by multiple writers and artists as the event spans Batman/Superman: World’s Finest and Justice League Unlimited. It will feature a time-spanning adventure starring some of DC's most infamous villains,…
It’s freezing here in New York City. Unseasonably low temperatures, even for the end of January. Harsh winters can be a time for cozy, unchallenging reads. Luckily, with this 47th issue of the ongoing adventures of Harley Quinn, I can tick one of those boxes. We’re back to the square run of this…
So far, this run on Catwoman has been pretty to look at but has underwhelmed a bit in terms of its approach to the story. While not bad, the story has felt like a mix of previously established Catwoman tropes commonly seen in previous stories like When in Rome and Lonely City (yes, I recently…
So, after a rather enjoyable detour focusing mainly on the Martian Manhunter, I’ve come around to this premise of every superhero being on the League. There’s certainly potential here if the creative team uses the heroes creatively, if what happens in this series isn’t contradicted by stuff happening elsewhere, and if everything comes together just…
After his first big screen adventure, Little Batman is back in action in his first real month of crimefighting. Left to his own devices, a young Damian Wayne seeks to rescue his father from kidnappers all by himself. Incidentally, his father is perfectly fine, because he's Batman. In this issue, Scarecrow's plan begins to develop,…
Last issue had a lot of what felt like "big moments", where there was some sort of twist or event that drove the story forward. This issue has less of that, as it's mostly reacting to those moments and preparing for what will be coming next. Well, I suppose that's not entire true. There is…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! We're starting to reach the time of year where I'm very tired of winter already, and yet there's still another 2 months of it. Once that's over it gets replaced with a time of year we here in the Midwest call "cold mud". We really seem to have set it…
Action. Adventure. Mystery. Intrigue. These are the ingredients for a successful comic, and luckily, this new arc promises plenty of each. One of the biggest appeals of this series from the beginning has been the "back to basics" approach Mark Waid took, focusing on straightforward superhero adventures as opposed to the continuity-laden mega plots of…
Part four of Nightwing's "On With The Show" focuses on the secret origin of Olivia Pearce. At the same time, Dan Watters briefly explores Dick Grayson's time as Robin. As Nightwing desperately tries to convince the powers that be of the growing corruption, the gang war continues to escalate out of control. Ultimately, there seems…
Renee Montoya is struggling with her self-esteem, and her relationship with Kate is on the rocks. So just another day for her. Can she fight her inner demons as well as those on the Watchtower? The key to a good detective story is often stated to be one in which the reader also has access…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Creature Commandos ended this week, and I have mixed feelings on the show as a whole. The highlight, for me, was definitely each of the individual backstory vignettes that were often tragically sad and made you sympathize with the commando in question. Though maybe there can be too much of…
Well, well, well. Here we are at the halfway point of the sequel to a series that I don’t know if anyone asked for, but we’re getting anyway. And hey, the first DC vs Vampires underwent a drastic shift after its 6th issue, so can we expect something similar in World War V? So last…
All hell has broken out at Arkham Tower where Memento has struck once again. Batman was in the middle of interrogating Scarecrow about his potential connection to the mysterious villain, and now he has to fight his way out of all the hysteria. Meanwhile, Robin is still questioning if he should continue crime fighting or…
Writing comics must be tough. Writing big name, legacy characters for the Big 2 must be especially taxing. You’re dealing with multiple generations of dedicated fans and readers who feel real ownership over the stories featuring their favorite characters. Fans and readers who are constantly demanding that you, the faceless, often virtually nameless writer,…
This series has already shown Bruce's inciting moment of Thomas Wayne's death, but there's a long way between that and the Batman we see in first issue. With no billionaire trust fund to allow for globetrotting training or high end gadgets, he can't rely on the traditional origin fans have become familiar with for the…
