0 on The Justice League will be teaming up with Sonic and friendsIn honor of Batman day, DC Comics and SEGA of America released a special teaser animation on Saturday showing off Shadow the Hedgehog as none other than the Dark Knight himself. More than that, however, DC referred to it as a preview of things to come leading to speculation as to what that might mean…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This is the end, beautiful friend. I've been talking a lot about how DC is in a state of transition, but it's never been more apparent than this week. I count three runs ending and three more series finishing up entirely. Let's take a look as DC closes the book…
A new grounded Batman maxi-series is coming just in time for the holidays. Written by Dan Watters (Nightwing), art by Hayden Sherman (Absolute Wonder Woman), colors by Tríona Farrell (Women of Marvel), and lettering by Frank Cvetkovic (DC's How to Lose a Guy Gardner in 10 Days), Dark Patterns is set during the early days…
This month Tini Howard wraps up her two-and-a-half year run on Catwoman and the ten-part “Nine Lives” arc with a final action extravaganza. It’s no secret that, as this arc has progressed, I’ve grown increasingly dissatisfied with it, despite a strong start. Can this finale give some meaning to the protracted story I’ve been reading…
Gotham's most famous criminal lawyer finally gets a title all his own. Starting December 4th, writer Christian Ward (Batman: City of Madness) and artist Fábio Veras are coming together to bring us a limited series exploring the intricacies of Harvey Dent's split psyche. Created as part of DC's "All In" initiative, the story will see…
Within the violent tundra of their fantastical world, a child emerges with strange earthly powers. Unfortunately, the powers of the miraculous child pit them against a league of assassins seeking to control the world. Now, readers rejoin their unwitting hero as he chooses to protects the boy from all manner of would-be killers. Let's continue…
The sun rises on a new World's Finest adventure, this time featuring the Justice League (and a surprise bonus team at the end). As with all arcs in this series, it begins with a lighthearted and low-stakes intro to set the tone before things go South. There's no better way to do that than to…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This week is a surprisingly normal (and small) one compared to everything else that's been happening around DC the past month or so. Enjoy it while it lasts, because next week will be heading right back into the world of finales, events, and creative team changes. Upcoming Comics Batman/Superman: World's…
How far we've come! What I first thought would be a monthly nightmare of nostalgia bait has quickly turned into one of my favourite DC books of the year. I've been waiting eagerly to see what happens, especially with the Joker back on the loose. So let us jump back into the potential world of…
Joshua Williamson ends his run on Batman & Robin with this issue, and it also concludes the Dinosaur Island arc. When we left the story last month, Damian Wayne had just bested Bane in a fight and decided to spare his foe’s life. But Bane’s daughter, Vengeance, had the last laugh and injected Damian with…
Alright! Amanda Waller's army of loose cannon robots have finally obtain the powers of the Justice League. Fortunately for our heroes, this includes a bulk of their morals and personalities. Yet, this hasn't helped make Task Force VII's newest Amazo any nicer. Let's take a closer look below! Destroying A Sisterhood In spite of being…
After addressing the state of the world after what had happened in the previous series while also setting up the events of this comic, World War V has done enough to prepare its readers for what’s to come. Now, what does it do with all this valuable setup? The Plot Thickens…Pun Absolutely Intended So, I…
Hey, it only took two months to get a new issue of Echoes. And I actually thought the last issue was pretty decent, all things considered. Does the series start moving at a decent pace from here? The Art Does So Much Work… Joe Quinones and Leonardo Ito bring their A-game to this issue. It…
I’m not a crook. I’ve never committed a crime worthy of a story. But I am from New Jersey. And when you’re born and raised in New Jersey, you come to learn a couple of things about how a great crime story should go. As I’ve mentioned in previous reviews of…
We got a fun special oversized Poison Ivy issue this month featuring four short stories for different authors, tied together with a prologue and epilogue suggesting what could come next for the series. Beneath the Surface The first story written by Joanne Starer is basically a brief freudian nightmare. Batman takes on Poison Ivy at…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! There are a lot of penultimate issues this week (plus one that was supposed to be penultimate but ended up just being the end). Once more a reminder for the big shakeup at DC coming in a month. If nothing else, it'll offer a fresh new start for both new…
Does this book truly need an introduction? Yet another crime-fighting caper featuring our beloved Gotham heroes and Mystery Inc. This series has been somewhat of a double-edged sword for me. On the one hand, its's a very welcome distraction from the often mind-numbing state of current ongoing comics (huh, who said Batman?) yet on the…
The Boy Wonder wraps-up with the obligatory fight between Damian and Ra's al Ghul with help from the rest of the Bat family. Does this consistently enjoyable miniseries stick the landing? I’d say it gets pretty close. You know that joke about Batman basically being a trust fund kid who beats up poor people? Writer…
I’m glad this event is only four issues long because it’s already starting to try my patience. After last month was wasted on Nightwing worship and tie-in setups we do get to see the heroes put a plan into motion and fight back. Unfortunately, the comic just isn’t very interesting. Let’s get into it. The…
Edit: It has been brought to my attention that Jordie Bellaire goes by she/her. I should've been aware of that and I apologize for the error. I will edit my previous reviews of Birds of Prey to reflect this. Especially given how male dominated the field of comic artists is, it is extra egregious to…
