2 on Batman: The Long Halloween - The Last Halloween #2 ReviewThe timing of The Last Halloween #2 couldn’t have been more perfect with the release falling on the day before Halloween (day of for this review). Oh the synergy! Issue #1 brought us back to the Gotham that Jeph Loeb and the late Tim Sale created decades ago, and it was an excellent start and…
A New Scene for Ms. Harleen When a new creative team hops onto an ongoing title, they’ve really got two options: do they continue with the narrative momentum of the old guard, hoping to deliver a seamless reader transition, or do they wipe the slate clean and announce their presence? It’s a new…
As the month of October comes to an end, so too does this series. We've reached the end fellow readers, of what I considered to be one of my favourite series of the year. Let's press on and find out if this issue stuck the landing, or if it felt like being hit in the…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I was pretty skeptical at the outset, but both the Absolute Universe and DC's All In have seriously impressed me so far. It's been a long time since I've said this, but it feels like DC is in a good place right now. It has a lot of really solid…
In this next iteration of Dark Knights of Steel, a mythical blizzard curses the land a conqueror seeks to control. Somehow, mercenary Slade accidentally discovers what may be the land's only hope. Thusly, joined by Dark Knights of Steel's Kryptonian Batman, Deathstroke crosses the harsh terrain amid all manner of assassins. Let's see how they've…
I'd like to be the first to welcome Dan Watters and the rest of the creative team to Nightwing! Following Taylor's long monopoly over the character, Watters begins his run on the series with another vicious power vacuum. As such, Dick Grayson does all he can to put an end to the gang war before…
Are some lives worth more than others? That seems to be the central question of Tom Taylor's debut story on Detective Comics. Spanning multiple generations via flashbacks, Taylor draws a parallel between the actions of Batman and the actions of his father decades ago, as well as the consequences of those actions. He also uses…
If you have been reading my reviews on this title (whenever I get around to doing them), you would learn that this anthology is a mixed bag at best. And yet for some reason I have yet to determine, the quality of the stories has gone up a bit. Perhaps it is the dying gasp…
Legendary Pictures Senior Vice President Bob Napton joined Jim Lee today to announce a sequel to their hit series Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong, set to release in Summer of 2025. He was excited to talk about how much people loved the first series, and that Godzilla studio Toho was eager for more. Writer…
Friday at this year's New York Comic Con, Jim Lee nostalgically recalled what he considered to be the "golden era" of DC Comics from 1985-1992. During that time DC put out a huge number of groundbreaking titles that pushed the edge of what a comic could be. That creative energy eventually formed into the Vertigo…
Over 20 years ago now, Jim Lee and Jeph Loeb came together to bring us Batman: Hush. Running from Batman #608-619, the Hush storyline instantly became a huge hit with fans. A perennial best-seller, it showed off some of Batman's most popular villains as well as the brand new villain "Hush" (AKA Thomas Elliot), all…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I'm here in New York, as you may have seen from my posts covering the convention, and things have been wild. I've spent so much time juggling covering panels, doing interviews, finding time to write, and finding time to enjoy the convention for myself. Don't get me wrong, I'm having…
It's the spookiest time of the year. But is it as spooky as it could be? Well, now it is, with the arrival of Batman: Full Moon. Bats and werewolves, magic and sorcery. I love Halloween. Can this book capitalise on the scariest season of the year, or will it underdeliver like a stingy neighbour…
DC's top talent gathered on Friday at New York Comic-Con to discuss their plans for the future of DC's All In. They discussed new and upcoming titles such as Jeremy Adams on Aquaman and Green Lantern: Fractured Spectrum, Joshua Williamson on Superman with Dan Mora, Mark Waid on Justice League Unlimited and Action Comics, Ram…
Well, well, well. The moment is finally here! I must say, I've really been looking forward to this series. The team behind one of my favourite Daredevil runs, working again as their own dynamic duo to tell a story about the beginning of the caped crusader and boy wonder? Yes please! So, after all this…
Alas, Tom Taylor ends his tenure on Nightwing with the final chapter of Fallen Grayson. After framing Grayson for murder, stealing his identity, and blackmailing the city, Heartless and Nightwing finally confront one another! Of course, Taylor must reconcile each and every loose end in this storyline. Let's see if he sticks the landing. (Yes,…
Hey everybody!!! With Jackson off to NYCC to bring us some spicy gossip on the happenings in the comic book entertainment world, I decided to step in for this issue. Not that I needed much convincing as we get to see a past version of my favorite superhero team and I get a chance to…
Similar to how Catwoman has a new creative team, the title has a new reviewer as I take over from the long-suffering William. Now I wanted to approach this series with fresh eyes, and as such I chose not to read any of the previous issues of the run in hopes that this would provide…
Nightwing #118 is the final issue of Tom Taylor's eight or so long year run on Nightwing's solo title. As the final chapter to Taylor's final storyline, the creative team has the unenviable task of wrapping up series long loose ends and conflicts. After a few delays, the early preview for the issue now available…
Fresh off the Absolute Power series, Batman/Superman: World's Finest writer Mark Waid tackles another historic DC era: the beginning of the Dynamic Duo in Batman and Robin: Year One. He'll be teaming up with artist Chris Samnee (Daredevil, Thor, Black Widow) for this 12-issue series. REUNITING THE ACCLAIMED TEAM OF MARK WAID AND CHRIS SAMNEE! While Bruce Wayne adjusts to…
