5 on Justice League Unlimited #1 reviewSo the League’s finally back after a long (and somewhat unnecessary) hiatus after the events of Absolute Power, having realized that the world needs the Justice League to protect its people. Is the return of the World’s Greatest Superheroes as grand as promised? If you’ve read my segments of the DC All-in review as well…
After the team was put on the proverbial shelf in the aftermath of Dark Crisis, the World's Greatest Super Heroes are back and are bigger than they have ever been. Justice League Unlimited promises to follow the footsteps of its animated counterpart and have the team be able to deploy specific heroes to counter every type of threat…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Thanksgiving is coming up, which means that time of year where we get to meet up with the extended family that we haven't seen in a while. For some of us, it's a time of excitement to spend time with the people we've missed and look forward to talking to.…
So, with the latest run on Catwoman starting on a strong enough hook, does this issue carry the momentum forward? Or has this cat been de-clawed and cornered early on in the run? Alright, in my last review, I had an issue with the writing, where despite having a good voice for dialogue, the scenarios…
I must say, I've found myself looking forward to today. Why you may ask? Well, today I get to take a look at Batman & Robin: Year One #2! Last month's issue set up some plot points with Two-Face and the mysterious General Grimaldi, all set upon a backdrop of newfound fatherhood by Bruce Wayne.…
Batman/Superman: World's Finest closes out another story arc, and it's sad to say that it's starting to feel a bit tired as it approaches three years. The underlying appeal is still there, Batman and Superman are still going on fun adventures together, but a number of the same problems keep showing up and becoming more…
Renee Montoya’s career as the Question reaches new heights… literally, as she finds herself stationed on the Justice League Watchtower. As someone who loved the journey writer Greg Rucka took her on and has also felt that she has sort of lacked a sense of stability since, does this new series put her on the…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I don't have too much to say as we continue on in the second month of All In, so I'll do something unusual and plug the competition coming out this week. By far my favorite comic coming out right now is Ultimate Spider-Man, and I highly recommend it to anyone…
They say that all good things must come to an end. I wonder if the same applies to things that are just alright. Yes, dear readers, this is the final issue of The Kryptonian Age. It is no secret that I find this series middling at best, so let's see if this final issue can do…
By all accounts DC's line of Compact Comics have been a major success. First launching in June of 2024, fans and retailers alike have praised them as a cheap and accessible way to get some of DC's most popular stories. These collections stand at a minute 5.5" x 8.5", the same as a trade paperback…
We’re at the 1/3rd point of this story, and it already feels like vampire Elongated Man from the 1st issue of this series…bloated beyond comprehension. Let’s try to summarize what the plot is actually about and whether or not the pages dedicated to it are worth it. Hey, Am I in Arkham Cause This Cell…
Scott Snyder continues to build out the world of Absolute Batman as we get a closer look at not just Batman, but also the supporting cast that surrounds him. While the first issue sometimes felt like nonstop, high-octane fighting, this one takes an opportunity to settle in now that its tone has been established. That's…
Well, here we are. The first series I reviewed on this site from start to finish comes to a close. And hey, it’s been getting mostly better issue to issue. So, let’s see if it can end things on a high note. Is This a Sequel to Superman: Space Age or Not? The biggest issue…
Ivy investigates a mysterious terroristic plot claiming her as leader in this issue. It’s a bit of a lull narratively that substitutes the generally exciting writing of G. Willow Wilson for a slightly tedious read. In terms of plot progression, there’s a lot here. Ivy puts Janet-from-HR in that mysterious abandoned city to stay while…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! We're now entering month two of DC's "All In" and I still think that they're in a really strong position. I dunno, maybe I'm still just a bit hyped up from getting to attend all the announcement panels at NYCC. Certainly not every title has been a winner, but overall…
From the writer of Amazon's Merry Little Batman film, Morgan Evans, comes a brand new adventure in that world. This time, the story takes place one month after Damian's Christmas debut, with the hero struggling with normal life. Although, the calm doesn't seem to last long. Let's discuss below! What's Wrong Lil' Man? The Merry…
Cassandra Cain is getting the spotlight in her first solo Batgirl series in nearly two decades. Writer Tate Brombal, artist Takeshi Miyazawa, and colorist Mike Spicer team up to bring this story to life. Brombal has said that this series will include some family drama, undiscovered secrets coming to light, and lots of martial-arts action.…
Just as with the last issue, Batman #154 can be separated into two component yet disparate parts: detective work and political conflict. Each one is given its own section of the story to occupy and so far they don't seem to much overlap. It's still early and Zdarsky has plenty of time to start tying…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's election season, and boy oh boy it's taken over everything here with the big day right around the corner. My state isn't even technically a "swing state" anymore and political ads still seem to be on every single commercial. I can't imagine what it must be like in Pennsylvania.…
G. Willow Wilson should be given some kind of award as the ambassador of all ecologically-themed characters. Not only does this Poison Ivy and Swamp Thing one-shot explore Pamela’s personality, it perfectly captures the roots of one of DC’s best horror characters. The premise of this one-shot is relatively simple. Swamp Thing (referred to as…
