9 on Batman and Robin #10 reviewWell, I’m back. Big thank you to Jack for filling in last month. After reading that issue to catch up, I was not left with high expectations for this issue, the finale of the Shush-ManBat-Harsh arc. Still, you never know, maybe it will all come together. Let’s find out! If I had to pick one…
We’re close to the finish line, folks. Normally, this is the part of the story where all the disparate elements are brought together cohesively, and everything begins to make sense. Unfortunately, each issue of the Hill (featuring the Red Hood when they remember he’s supposed to be here) has focused on different elements each month,…
Elseworlds begin again! The imprint holds some of my favourite books. Red Rain, Holy Terror, but the most famous of them has got to be Gotham By Gaslight. Now the series has been brought back to kick off this new line of Elseworld stories. With a brand new creative team tackling the story, can it…
Once rivals, now… friends? Damian Wayne and Howard have actually become really good friends, but something is still bothering Damian: Batman is still missing. And Howard is starting to sense something is off. Will they find the Caped Crusader? And will they get to the bottom of all the series of odd crimes involving the…
Dreamer has been captured by Task Force X, and they are on their way to deliver her to Amanda Waller, as she has plans for the dream-walking heroine. Will the Squad see that they are on the wrong side of this fight and back up Dreamer? Or is there nothing stopping Amanda Waller from achieving…
Last issue, The Outsiders finally learn the truth about Jakita Wagner and her whereabouts since Planetary. Unfortunately, the revelation causes Kate to leave the team behind. Now in Outsiders #8, Batwoman will learn there may be no other place to go. Let's take a look! Solo Travel Batting In the wake of her adventure in…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! We're one month away from the Absolute Power event, and you can see it as the solicits of multiple titles starting to allude to it. However, I'm actually less interested in the event itself (which I expect to play out similarly to the other half dozen events from the past…
Happy Pride Month y’all! Poison Ivy is one of DC’s best queer characters in my opinion so I just wanted to start off this review by acknowledging that June is here. If you plan to celebrate please stay safe and hydrated. Okay, now that I’m done being everyone’s mom, let’s get into this review. We’re…
Parables have an almost child-like quality. The point is to communicate a moral or spiritual lesson succinctly, so they typically have a story-book cadance while still communicating deeper themes. The Boy Wonder offers a refreshing take on the Bat family using that lullaby-influenced structure. This miniseries is a breath of fresh air because of how it tells…
The universe has many constants. The sun will always rise in the morning, it will set at night, and every month, a new issue of The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries will release. This month sees the return of artist Dario Brizuela to the series, whose art featured in the first issue of the series I…
I've made no illusions about how I feel regarding this series' handling of Zur-En-Arrh as a concept. On a fundamental level, I think it misunderstands both what Grant Morrison was doing when they reintroduced the idea 15 years ago, and Batman's character as a whole. Despite that, I've tried to look past what is arguably…
In preparation for the final issue of Kill Arkham Asylum, I got familiar with Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. With one final member of the team left to go, let's take a look at how the stories intersect. This time, we saddle up with Nanue, The King Shark! A Small Pond Although King Shark…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I was finally able to publish my Batsuit history article this week! You should check it out if you haven't. It was a lot of fun doing all the research and tracking down as many suit variations as I could (even though I'm sure I still missed some). I have…
We’re at the halfway point of this mini, and the series is moving along at a decent clip. Bruce has become Batman and is now taking the fight back against the people behind the loss of not only his parents but also usurping his rightful legacy as an aid in their corruption. Where do we…
Change is something you very rarely see in superhero comics. It's a baked in assumption that there's a certain status quo that needs to be maintained for a rotating cast of writers to build around. Unlike creator-owned comics that tell a singular story, superheroes are more of an idea (or brand if you're feeling cynical)…
Since last we checked in with the talented Mr. Cobblepot, DC announced that Tom King’s “Penguin” series will come to an end after 12 issues. This doesn’t exactly come as any surprise. Given that the very first issue teases the end of the narrative, giving the book a “let’s look back and see how we…
Last month, I called the 2024 annual the Harley Quinn Book of the Year. Though that excellent outing was the product of a guest creative team, this reviewer has strong hopes that editorial can build on that momentum. We open with Harley meeting up once again with Mr. Freeze to discuss his ongoing offers for…
Batman: The Long Halloween is one of the most well-known, celebrated, and influential Batman comics of all time. Written by Jeph Loeb and illustrated by the late Tim Sale, it debuted as a 13-issue limited series in 1996. Telling the story of how District Attorney Harvey Dent became the infamous Two-Face amidst a string a…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! One of my favorite things to do as a Batman fan is to find hidden gems in the backlog. Beneath all the bombastic events and superstar runs, there are often lesser known stories and runs that are criminally underlooked. Thanks to a comment left by user Madeleine a couple months…
Do you remember that moment in high school where the teacher announced that an exam would be graded on a curve and a collective sigh was heard around the room? That’s sort of the energy with which I’m approaching Titans at this point. This isn’t an amazing series or issue, but I’m settling into the…
