18 on Upcoming Comics: May 30, 2018Today is Memorial Day here in the states, so there’s a good chance that many of you are enjoying what’s left of your three-day weekend. However you’re spending your day – whether it be with family, resting, or working – take a moment to remember the purpose of today! Try to do something to honor…
The end is finally here! Will the BatFamily be able to stop Tim and the Omacs from obliterating all crime in Gotham City as we know it, or, will we return to a nice little status quo with which the next writer will use to launch his story from? I wonder... Detective Comics #981 is…
Pretty much since I started reviewing Suicide Squad with #33, I’ve been very critical of the series. I’ve been giving it low marks, because I saw too many plot holes and dialogue issues, and it never made sense to me that Waller would send the Squad to deal with large threats in a city. Yes,…
Time is running out on Colu—and on Earth! As Brainiac’s four Justice Leagues fight on without him, relations between Waller and Green Arrow hit an all-time low. The teams may prevent the first Omega Titan from feeding, but what will await them at home if they do? The stakes rise, yet again, in Justice League:…
Issue #20 of Batman Beyond kicks off a new arc, ‘Target: Batman.’ Solicitations promise the return of a couple of classic Batman characters so this might be a good time to jump back on board the Neo-Gotham expressway, though it’s too soon to tell whether this will be a good story or not. Still, there’s…
And so, all good things must come to an end. Not even our beloved Super Sons are immune to change, as their eponymous series reaches its end with its sixteenth issue. With that, we say goodbye to Robin, Damian, and their Fortress of Attitude. At least until they return in a few months, but whatever. …
You know those gifs of someone eating popcorn that you post as a response to watching something dramatically entertaining online? That’s how I felt reading this issue, because it’s ohhhh soooo good! Whether she likes it or not, Honor Guest has been forced back into her old life as an agent of the underworld. A…
The “Strange Loop” closes out this era of Batgirl with slightly more whimper than bang, but this was nevertheless a satisfying conclusion (both to the loop itself, and in preparation for the incoming new crew in June). Larson’s work on the book has been consistent in its unevenness, but that’s actually helped stabilize a book…
It’s my first day off from my day job in two weeks, so I’m excited to be home and just rest/read some comics! In comics news, DC released their August Solicitations yesterday, and I was pleased to not only see that Kelley Jones will return to Batman, but that Peter J. Tomasi will return to…
When you think of Batman artists, there are some names that will immediately come to mind: Jim Aparo, Norm Breyfogle, Dick Sprang, Mike Parobeck, Neal Adams, Greg Capullo, Graham Nolan, and most recently Joëlle Jones are just a few. The Dark Knight has been drawn by some of the best artists in the business, each…
Booster Gold is stuck in a futuristic hell of his own making where everything is a twisted version of its rightful self and all the characters are crazier than loons...including Booster. All this was done to show Bruce how messed up the world would be if his parents were to have survived, and surprisingly, Bruce…
Last time on The Brave and the Bold we saw that Batman and Wonder Woman made some progress with their investigation, and it was especially of interest to me because Sharpe wrote a smart Batman that’s a detective first and a fighter second. This time around there isn’t as much focus on Batman specifically. In…
I think it’s fair to say that ‘The Fall of the House of Kane’ has crumbled under the weight of expectation. Issue #15 is action-packed but still feels a little flat because the threat at hand feels manageable for a superhero and lacks the epic grandeur we’d expect with the return of Alice. Last issue,…
Do you remember how great it was when Batman met Elmer Fudd? If you don't, go back and read it because it was amazing. Tom King and Lee Weeks told a story that was equal parts crime noir and tongue-in-cheek farce and it worked beautifully. Today, DC Comics have announced a new line of DC/Looney…
Brainiac has been taken out by Amanda Waller, but what sounds like a victory cry may actually be the death-knell for Earth’s heroes and all they hold dear. They’re in a race against time to bring balance to the planet Colu and save it from the consuming GalactitesOmega Titans, but what will await them at…
Two weeks ago, I kvetched a bit that Paul Dini and Bret Blevins spent an awful lot of time playing catch-up from the Harley Loves Joker fill-in, as well as cramming in a lot of expositional background on where the Grison comes from and her past connection to Harley Quinn. This time I’m going to…
Last month, I complained that the story of Sins of the Father isn’t moving quickly enough but reassured readers that there’s plenty of action to enjoy and Batman is just as smart and capable as we expect him to be. Unfortunately, in issue #4, the pace doesn’t pick up, there isn’t any action and Bruce…
DC is acting really weird right now. I can’t help but feel like they’re sweeping things under the rug and hoping nobody notices. First off, they’re not announcing titles are ending when they are ending. It’s been left to the creators to go to social media and confirm that their book/ run is, in fact,…
There's some credence and legitimacy to the old adage "never judge a book by its cover." After all, a cover can hardly encapsulate the plot, themes, and tone of most any work it represents. A cover may be misleading in its simplicity, or it may be purposefully ironic to bait the reader. The sum of…
DC Comics has confirmed to Newsarama that all on ongoing titles will be priced at $3.99, up from $2.99. Newsarama noticed the price increases for "Wonder Woman" and "The Flash" and DC says that $2.99 titles like "Batman", "Suicide Squad", "Detective Comics", "Green Lanterns", "Hal Jordan & The Green Lantern Corps", "Harley Quinn", and "Injustice"…
