3 on Upcoming Comics January 8, 2025Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Well the holidays are now over, and we can all recover from the weeks of eating too many sugary foods. All that's left is making it through the dreary months of January and February before the sun once again graces us with its presence. Until then, let's pull up a…
After a brief diversion last month focusing on Batman's investigation to exonerate Jim Gordon, the story now returns to the larger plot concerning Riddler's attempts to buy Wayne Enterprises along with the political unrest facing Gotham. Heading into the issue, there are a lot of seemingly disconnected threads that need to be tied together. Bruce…
New year. New Batgirl issue. When we last left Batgirl, she and her mother, Lady Shiva, were ambushed by the mysterious monk-warriors, the Unburied, led by their leader Kalden. Cassandra and her mother narrowly escaped the assault, but Cassandra’s friends were not so lucky. Now, in full retreat mode on a train, Batgirl and Lady…
Two-Face is the amazing first solo series for the long time Batman villain of the same name. In the first issue, Harvey's been back in a lawyer role in his underground courtroom, "The White Church." In this issue, Harvey serves the defense in a piping hot infidelity case! However, with the introduction of inculpatory evidence,…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's a new year and that means new beginnings and new opportunities. For some, that might mean finding a new job, moving to a new home, or starting a new relationship. For others, it might just mean getting some new comics. Are those comics good enough to remain the highlight…
So, this wasn’t on the docket. But after reading it, I asked if I could review it because I think this comic is a good example of what horror can be like in this form of entertainment, having been crafted by people with a proven track record in this industry. And hey, the first story…
Batman has been shot on Christmas. He must have received some coal from jolly old Saint Nick. After confronting Mario Falcone for his suspected involvement with the kidnapping of Commissioner Gordon’s son, Batman has been severely wounded and on the verge of death. The Last Halloween #4 deals with the immediate aftermath and follows Robin…
Finally, it ends having convinced me anthologies are less of a place to show new and innovative stories and instead a place where half-baked ideas and filler issues tend to reign far more. With that damning indictment, let’s get into the last issue of The Brave and the Bold. The Price Ty Templeton, best known…
Sometimes, you need to reread a comic. I’m man enough to admit when I’m wrong, and while I do feel this version of the League sacrifices a bit of individual identity by having an “unlimited” roster, it has managed to balance its cast extremely well so far. Issue 2 only dedicates a single page to…
I love detective stories. You'd think that a series called Detective Comics would consistently be one of my favorites for scratching that itch. And yet, surprisingly few runs on the title actually focus on detective work. Even some of my all time favorites just treat it as "the other Batman comic". Taylor at the very…
When I came on board the Batman-News team, I was asked about any preferred titles I wanted to review. Despite the title not existing at the time, I asked for Justice League and continued to do so over the next few months, in a manner not dissimilar to the late Keith Giffen going “Jusstisss League”…
Creeping back into the limelight is the past due third issue of Batman: Gargoyle Of Gotham. As a reminder, the series follows the caped crusader as he battles sadistic killers and economic inequality. Incidentally, this version of Bruce Wayne has tired of his double life and wishes to kill his wealthy persona. Which, honestly seems…
DC Comics recently revealed their solicitations for issues coming out in March, and for the most part it's about what you'd expect. There are a lot of continuations of ongoing series and a good number of first issues that had already been revealed as part of their All In initiative. However, there was one surprise…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's the holiday season, and comic day even happens to land squarely on Christmas this year. Sadly this means a lot of people will have to miss spending Christmas morning with their families in order to head to the comic shop instead. I'm sure they'll understand. Similarly, those comic store…
So Selina’s on the run from her past (again)? Can she overcome the bounty placed on her head by the “bad guys” out to get her? Eh, it's probably a matter of when, not if. Anyway, let’s get into part 3 of this story… Part 1? So, the previous issue was an inconclusive end to…
The ice-cold follow up to Dark Knights of Steel finally reaches a conclusion. In a nutshell, the heroes put aside their differences to undo a horrific mistake. With murder, of course. Nonetheless, the series seems to wrap up with an explosive, albeit rushed final battle against a heartbroken magus. Let's discuss the end of Allwinter…
This year at NYCC, it was announced that Jim Lee and Jeph Loeb would soon be returning to Batman for the sequel to their hit story Batman: Hush. Titled Batman: H2SH, the storyline will kick off in March with Batman #158 and run for six issues through Batman #163 in August. In it, Bruce's childhood…
These intermission issues are very often my favorite stories in World's Finest. To this day my personal highlight of the run would have to be issue #12 where Robin and Supergirl go on a date that goes horribly. The reason they work so well (when they do) is that they allow for a breather from…
Look, this is the part where I rant about how badly the delays have been hurting this series, forcing me to look up previous issues multiple times to remember who most of these characters were outside of Batman and Alfred. But at this point, everybody knows about the delays, and most people are probably going…
Have you ever had the feeling that DC owns a character who is popular among a decent chunk of their fanbase but has no idea what to do with them (insert Tim Drake fan joke here)? And as such are desperate to try anything in the hopes that something works (repeat the previous joke). Yeah,…
