8 on Batman: The Brave and the Bold #15 ReviewSo I just read Tom King’s The Human Target recently and have some thoughts. And those same thoughts came up while I was reading this issue of The Brave and the Bold. Namely, how much a character can end up defined by a few stories that people remember, even if they have grown out of…
After months of setup while the Orghams and Batman's allies shifted all their pieces into position, this issue finally feels like the climax that everything's been building towards. Well, the beginning of it at least. It's a far more action-packed story than we typically see from this run, and just about every player has something…
Welcome back to the revolution! Last issue, Amanda Waller sent out her army of Amazo androids to hunt down the world's heroes. Sadly, the villains are able to capture their quarries uncontested for the most part. Now, we join the Doom Patrol and the Aquaman family as they band together to defend Atlantis. Let's take…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! We learned a ton this week about what'll be happening this October at DC. From a brand new Absolute Universe to tons of creative team changes, especially for bat books. I think the last DC initiative, Dawn of DC, got off to a really bad start by almost immediately pausing…
On Wednesday we learned that DC will be launching their "All In" initiative this October. In addition to the announcement of a brand new "Absolute Universe", a number of new creative teams and storylines in the main universe will be starting at the same time. Now with the release of October's official solicitations, we know…
For comic fans, amassing a collection of single issues, graphic novels, and omnibus collections is a never-ending endeavor. With access to comic shops and online vendors alike, it’s never been easier to buy comics to start, continue, or complete your collection. As if a collection is ever complete. You know what I mean. To make…
Titans #13 is an unredeemable slog. Six issues into the ‘Dark Winged Queen’ arc, writer Tom Taylor has completely lost me. This time around, Nightwing continues to grapple with Raven's split personality while Beast Boy and Cyborg go on a side mission to a sovereign nation to fight Apex Ava. What I find so frustrating about…
We’ve finally reached the penultimate chapter of “Nine Lives.” Assuming the cover text doesn’t turn you away completely, maybe you’re wondering if Tini Howard can build to a satisfying ending after so many months of setup? Well, I know I was, so let’s get right into it! This issue is a lot of fighting and…
After weeks of speculation, rumors, and perhaps an accidental early reveal, DC has announced that the DC Universe will soon be split in two. This October, the 64-page DC All In Special #1 one-shot by Scott Snyder, Joshua Williamson, Daniel Sampere, and Wes Craig will close the book on the storyline that began back in…
Once, Tom Taylor's Dark Knights Of Steel introduced readers to a fantastical new interpretation of the DC Universe. Now, Jay Kristoff sets out to explore a brand new corner of that world in Dark Knights Of Steel: Allwinter! Trading in knights and mages for Vikings and sorcerers, Kristoff's epic begins with an ill-fated assassination for…
By the end of last issue, it almost seemed as if the stakes couldn't get any bigger and more absurd. That is... actually mostly true. This finale to the "Impossible" arc is a satisfying one, but also surprisingly simple after everything that led up to it. Don't get me wrong, it's still filled with magic…
Fallen Grayson part three brings us back where we began in more ways than one. In a literal sense, Dick Grayson sets out to fulfill the climb shown in #114's flash forward. However, Nightwing also retraces his steps to remember the first time he had to rise from a terrible fall. So, let's talk about…
Starting this October, writer Mark Waid and artist Chris Samnee will be coming together to bring us Batman and Robin: Year One. This 12-issue series will explore the early days of the duo's relationship, as Bruce learns to take on a paternal role he was never prepared for. While Batman and Robin are the stars…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! You've probably noticed that a lot of bat books are either wrapping up their runs or ending all together. These all line up for this October, which just so happens to be the solicitations that DC will be announcing at this year's San Diego Comic-Con. I have a feeling that…
For months now there have been rumors and leaks regarding a so-called "Absolute Universe" meant to spin out of the Absolute Power event. This is purported to be a parallel, ongoing shared DC universe, similar to Marvel's "Ultimate" Universes. Free from the constraints of the main continuity, it would offer creators the ability to give…
Last month's issue of The Kryptonian Age left me saying that I wish I had more to chew on. Though don't they say you should be careful what you wish for? I guess we'll have to see if this month manages to push a more central story. Where does he get those plentiful plot threads? If…
After the success of Batman #428 Robin Lives!, DC has decided to give us a further glimmer into the world created as a result of this issue. Will the story prove to be any good? Or will the voters way back when be proven to have made the right decision? Boy Wonder-ful This issue lets…
Well, well, well, look who it is. Seriously, I thought I was the only one in the world looking forward to this comic because I was reviewing it. These massive delays between issues seriously make me question the point of releasing this comic as a “monthly” title when most people will probably discover the trade…
Bane has made his way to Dinosaur Island to claim it for himself and for other reasons unknown. But the Dynamic Duo is hot on his trail and is looking to figure out what his plans are. Damian also has another agenda: revenge for Alfred’s murder. Will this father-son trip to this prehistoric land unearth…
Following the previous solo issue, Outsiders returns to check in on Drummer, Fox, and his super-heroic son. While Kate fought against her destiny among undead cowboys, the rest of the Outsiders head to the jungle seeking theirs. Inevitably, the gang unearth another cosmic mystery, but this time they have a difficult choice ahead of them.…
