Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I've been in a really good comics mood lately because I'm just about finished up with my reading list for a big project that I'll hopefully get written up soon. I won't give too much away except that it involves some of my favorite Batman comics of all time and…
Simone Di Meo is back on art this month as Batman looks into the Cult of Man-bat. This series has been rather disappointing as a whole so far but perhaps now that the recent subplots have been wrapped up, it can get down to business and Williamson can get things together. Let’s see! Well, I…
