3 on Nightwing #121 reviewChapter three of Dan Watter's run of Nightwing is finally here! Previously, the Teddy gang found themselves framed and the targets of the upgraded Blüdhaven police force. After the death of one of their young members, Nightwing decides to intervene before things get worse. Somehow, Olivia Pearce and Helios end up playing the city, the…
Can something be both dumb and cool at the same time? Can its "dumbness" make it cooler? It's a question that Scott Snyder has been toying with for the past decade with Batman, and has become a reoccurring theme throughout his work on the character. Batman is arguably a brand just as much as a…
If you’re anything like me (and, for both our sakes, I pray that you are not), you’re growing a little tired of the multiverse. It’s a pervasive trend throughout pop culture these days, and, despite whatever platitudes its advocates may evoke (i.e., “Anything goes! Anything is possible!”), it doesn’t suit every legacy character. And,…
Memento is making his name known in Gotham with his recent attacks and is pushing Batman and Robin to their limits. This threat dates back centuries, but is this the original Memento or is this a copy cat? And what ties does he have with Bruce? The mystery is starting to unravel, and the duo’s…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Oh boy, this week is a big one. A lot of bat books had their schedules jostles by the holidays which seems to have created a perfect storm for us here at Batman-News (poor Akash!). I guess when you have a week like the last one that's so small, eventually…
Is this what it's like to be in a relationship that’s lost its spark? Like, the first few months were really exciting, but eventually, everything settled into a predictable routine. Both of you try to work on the relationship, hoping to recapture that initial attraction, and you might even discover something that spices things up.…
Following the disquieting abduction of Bruce Wayne on New Years Day, Little Batman: Month One #2 follows Damian's first month without his father, yet again. Left to his own devices Damian must investigate and deal with a mysterious new babysitter. Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne must humor the pointless schemes of the Scarecrow. Let's see where the…
As another year comes to a close, the holiday season is upon us once again. It’s a season of gift-giving, merriment, good cheer, and spending time with loved ones. Whether you’re looking for the perfect gift for the Batman fan in your life, or you are that Batman fan hoping for the perfect gift, peruse…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I just started watching Creature Commandos, and I'm enjoying it so far. It definitely leans into Gunn's style of raunchy, irreverent humor and action which will certainly not be for everyone, but it has a lot of style and the characters are pretty instantly engaging. Hopefully the show continues to…
Lady Shiva has returned to warn her daughter, Cassandra Cain a.k.a. Batgirl, that they’re in grave danger and need to leave Gotham immediately. The threat is the mysterious Unburied, and they have even Shiva concerned. Batgirl reluctantly agrees to team with her mother, but their foes remain determined to take them down. The first issue…
Cassandra Cain has infiltrated the underground schemings of your most gentrifying hipster looking cult with… mixed results. The rest of her team are unsure of her whereabouts and a mouthful of knockout gas has our small bat waking up in unfamiliar cages surrounded by Amazon warriors being exploited for… reasons? Will Cass find out what’s…
Spooky season comes to Gotham…a bit later than usual, but that’s comic book scheduling for you. I’ll be honest: with two features by people who aren’t primarily comic book writers, I’m a bit wary of what to expect with this comic. But hey, reviewing an anthology with two stories is probably going to be easier…
Following the near hallucinogenic iteration in Batman: City Of Madness, Christian Ward continues the fun in Two-Face's first solo series! Two-Face follows the former D.A building a brand new reputation as the lead prosecutor in an underground kangaroo court. In this issue, Harvey Dent must argue the defense of Victor Zsasz in a murder trial.…
Sometimes even when something is all but over it can still find ways to surprise you. I admit I've probably become a bit of a broken record when talking about this title, in large part because the same core problems underlie so much of the run up until this point. "Dying City" was Zdarsky's final…
If there was one thing I would have wanted from the previous run on Harley Quinn, it was a greater sense of narrative consistency. A story that’s bouncing all over the place can, of course, be more easily forgiven when its protagonist is someone who is often, quite literally, bouncing all over the place.…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I'm currently writing this while recovering from a mild coma due to turkey and mashed potatoes, so I'll keep things brief. All In seems to have fallen into its "groove" which is arguably both a good and bad thing. It's good because I think it's successfully established itself as a…
In the last issue of The Last Halloween, Batman and Robin were further investigating into the kidnapping of James Gordon Jr., and these new copycat Holiday killers who have been taking out Batman’s rogues. The issue ended with Batman being potentially framed for murder. Is the FBI involved somehow? And why are the villains specifically…
If the last issue didn't make it clear enough, this one makes sure to hammer home what the arc's themes are. In fact, the main plot of finding out who the serial killer is has largely taken a backseat. Instead, the story is far more interested in what the killings mean for Batman's mental health…
So we’re at the penultimate issue of this anthology comic that has stuttered throughout most of its run. It has been harder and harder to recommend this series with each passing month, considering the overall poor quality of the stories, but the last few issues have had a few gems. Let’s hope this volume of…
Dan Watter's run on Nightwing kicks off with "On With The Show" part two! In this harrowing issue, Dick finds himself at odds with an obviously evil weapons manufacturer stirring up trouble in Blüdhaven. The company, Spheric, seems to be manipulating the gangs and police force in the city at the whim of a mysterious…
