1 on Gotham City Sirens #4 - ReviewLet’s say you’re writing a four-part ensemble story. You’ve laid out maybe a dozen different elements in the forms of plot threads, character ideas, and avenues for social or political commentary. Your story is moving along at an entertainingly fast clip for the first three parts, and now your remaining challenge is to bring it…
Last month I gave a tentatively positive review to that issue's cliffhanger ending, with the caveat that it would need to rely on this issue to follow through. Well, suffice to say it failed to follow through. Rather than an exhilarating action sequence showing how Batman and Catwoman's combined tactical and martial prowess allow them…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Boy, there sure are a ton of bat books this week. I would chalk it up to the big event going on, but that's really only one book we're covering, and there are hardly any other DC titles. Two of the titles are final issues and another two are penultimate,…
After a four-month hiatus, the space odyssey that is Batman: Off-World returns for its fifth issue. Batman has taken the fight to the Blakksun Mining Company as he tries to liberate the enslaved colonies across the Slag Galaxy. To combat Batman’s advances, the Blakksun Twins have hired their stormchaser known as The Thanagarian to take…
In the first issue of Absolute Power: Origins, Amanda Waller’s motivations were revealed. To be honest, those motivations didn’t make sense and the issue fell flat. But now that we know how she established her ties with the government; with the second issue, we find out how she created the infamous Task Force X a.k.a.…
Do you watch BreadTube-style video essays? I sure watch a hell of BreadTube-style videos essays, especially for someone who essentially has no idea what that means. I was simply told recently that I watch and enjoy a lot of BreadTube style video essays. One of the things you come to learn if you watch…
Amanda Waller's plan to stop all of the world's metahumans hinges on her adaptable team of Amazo androids. However, as each of them absorb the powers of the Justice League, they begin to develop fatal flaws. Namely, Task Force VII #5 covers the somewhat sad state of the Flash powered "Velocity." Let's get up to…
At long last the Orghams begin to crumble. Over the course of the entire run, we've seen their hubris grow along with their power, making them the kind of villain you desperately want to see fall. The fact that they repeatedly ruined Batman's life and everything he fought for certainly doesn't help in that regard,…
So, after taking half the series to do so, Batman: The Dark Age finally began to chart its own course separate from its predecessor. Does that trend continue, or do Mark Russell and the Allreds fall back into old habits? So This May Come as a Shock, But Batman Has a Tragic Backstory… I’m being…
As part of a promotional tie-in to their All-In initiative this October, DC Comics is sending out official Justice League membership cards to local retailers. According to a post made by Scott Snyder on X (formerly Twitter): THE DC ALL IN #1 Special that launches everything the 1st week of October focuses on the rebirth…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! With the "All In" relaunch coming in October, everything at DC has had a weird feeling about it. There's this sense that we're just waiting for everything wrap up so that the shiny new titles can begin. Sales numbers also reflect that. I sure hope that the new initiative lands…
DC is officially releasing new cover art and logos for their upcoming Absolute Universe! The new images and solicits include the main covers and exclusive variants for their core trinity. Among the images, DC shares further information about the creative teams for Absolute Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman and a sneak peak at the "All In"…
For twenty one years, the world of Dark Knights of Steel was black and white. Imperceptibly, Deathstroke's deadly mission leads him to the one child who can change it all. Similarly, another child of destiny finds his way into the unwitting care of another pair of saviors. Join the discussion below! This Is Going To…
Last weak, faithful readers, we were witness to a good deal of gaming groundwork. This week, we really see things moving. Gotham City Sirens #2 is a real winner of a middle issue. Issue #1’s inciting reveal was that Punchline was behind the mysterious cyber-buffalo stampedes, and that the cartoonish futuristic Western violence running…
The fourth and penultimate part of Tom Taylor's finale of Nightwing is here. Ironically, before the Fallen Grayson can return home, the hero must once again learn to climb. To this end, Nightwing travels to the temples of Nanda Parbat to train under the high-flying Deadman! There's even a goofy cover of Batman dressed as…
Every time a major arc concludes in this series, we get a smaller-scale story exploring some significant "first" for the World's Finest. These are often my favorite stories of the run. Unbeholden to any world-shattering plot, it allows for a tight adventure told over the course of one or two issues, which is where I…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! With November's solicits that came out Friday, we've got a better look at what DC's All-In will look like, and I'm super excited for Cass to have her own Batgirl run again. It's probably foolish to get my hopes up too much, but Puckett's Batgirl run from 2000 is fantastic…
Damian Wayne is still grieving about the death of Alfred and has his sights set on Bane to enact his revenge. His warpath has led him and Batman to Dinosaur Island where Bane has retreated to. Will Damian actually kill Bane and proceed to go down a dark road from which he can’t return? Issue…
A fast food chain rereleases an old menu item. You have good memories of the first release so you go to pick up a new one. You open and it seems pretty much as you remember it. However, when you start eating you realise it's full of rubbish you don't want and it's so incredibly…
Cassandra Cain was the first ever Batgirl to get her own solo series back in 2000 after her spectacular debut in the No Man's Land event. It ran for over 70 issues before she eventually gave up the mantle to Stephanie Brown in 2009. Since that time, who "is" and "isn't" Batgirl became somewhat of…
