32 on Upcoming Comics: August 28th, 2013I'm at least a little excited for every bat-title coming out this week (except for Teen Titans and Catwoman, which are so bad that I pretend they don't exist). This Wednesday marks the end of Batman Incorporated, Trinity War concludes, and then we have a little Bane, Clayface, and Injustice goodness to look forward to…
"Justice League of America" will be renamed "Justice League Canada" in spring 2014 and will feature a new Canadian character. The heroes will head up north after an ongoing crossover comics event Trinity War, in which the current three Justice League teams clash, and the ensuing Forever Evil, in which the villains of the DC…
Go fetch a box of tissues, bat-fans, because Peter J. Tomasi is here to make you shed some tears. "But it features Nightwing this month and Nightwing always makes me smile!" you exclaim. Well, I hate to break it to you but if this comic was labeled honestly it would be called Batman & Alfred…
This should be read after you pick up Justice League Dark #23, but seeing as how not much happened in that comic you would really be shooting yourself in the foot if you decided to read this one first anyway. It's no secret that I don't think much has happened in Trinity War and they've…
I'm done. I'm out. If I want to read a fringe bat-title with a mysticism angle then I'll pick up the better-drawn Batwoman title. Writer James Tynion IV has taken Red Hood and the Outlaws too far in a direction that I don't find interesting in the slightest. At least when Lobdell sent the trio…
Batman Beyond Universe #1 collects two digital firsts (Batman Beyond 2.0 and Justice League Beyond 2.0) into one $3.99 book. This is a relaunch that features all-new creative teams who have taken the story left behind by the previous series Batman Beyond Unlimited and jumped events ahead by one year. Didn't read any of Batman Beyond…
Beautiful artwork, but a whole lot of nothing happens in this issue. The first page recaps how Madame Xanadu is being held captive, Batman's team failed to find any answers in the underworld, Shazam was tricked by Constantine, ARGUS was blown up, and Wonder Woman is now corrupted by the ring box. What follows is…
This is about as close as Adam West is going to get to a Lethal Weapon 2 "It's just been revoked!" scene. In Batman '66 #2, Penguin has built a giant iceberg in Gotham harbor that has been recognized as the independent nation of Penguinia. Penguinia is blocking all shipments from entering Gotham, but for…
The future, the past, and everything in-between is available to Batman fans this week as we get a new installment of Batman '66, a brand-new Batman Beyond series, an issue of Batman & ___ dealing with the fallout of Damian's death, and, of course, Trinity War continues in not one but two titles released this…
Comic book writer Grant Morrison was a guest on Kevin Smith's podcast Fat Man on Batman this week, and a conversation between the two about Alan Moore's "The Killing Joke" is getting a lot of attention. Morrison explained how he interpreted the book's ending, and it blew Kevin Smith's mind: "No one gets the end,…
If you've read my previous reviews then you know I'm tired of the doom and gloom and gore of this series and wish it were more fun like say Batgirl: Year One or what the current New 52 Nightwing series is doing. But while issue #23 doesn't take that turn toward the more lighthearted tone…
Do you love the "Go Sports Team!!" banner at the bottom left-hand corner of the cover as much as I do? Anyway, the good news is that Nightwing #23 is very good. The bad news is that with Villains Month happening in September you'll have to wait until October to see the finale of this…
New series writer Karen Traviss is delivering a bigger Arkham story than we're used to seeing and giving Gordon some much deserved attention, but does is that enough to make a prequel to a 2 year old video game worth your $3.99? Last month saw the start of a new arc based around the idea…
This isn't just a fun comic book for kids and older comic fans that are young-at-heart, it's a great way to see new stories featuring elements that were lost in the New 52. The list goes on and on, really. It's as if Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs have been given free rein to pick…
Visually it's one of the most impressive comics you'll read this month, story-wise Scott Snyder's Zero Year has never opened itself up to more comparison to Frank Miller's Batman: Year One. In fact, if Red Hood One does indeed turn out to be the Clown Prince of Crime one day then Batman #23 will serve…
NOTE: I hereby declare The Phantom Stranger #11 the first necessary tie-in to the Trinity War event. JLA #7 will leave you scratching your head as to what exactly Batman, Katana, Deadman, and Phantom Stranger got themselves into. No, it doesn't play a vital role in this chapter's story but it might give you a…
Batgirl is Gotham's most wanted criminal, a young Bruce Wayne learns that he must become more than just a man if he wants to strike fear in the hearts of criminals, Trinity War continues to rock the DC Universe, Chicago crumbles under Nightwing's watch, and much more await comic book readers this Wednesday. Here are…
"What Happened Was..." is written by Paul Jenkins and illustrated by Omar Francia with colors by Rex Lokus. Jenkins is the former co-author of the New 52 Batman: The Dark Knight which he wrote alongside artist David Finch, but just as he was about to go solo with the book's writing duties Finch was reduced…
It's Trinity War tie-in time! Is it a good read on its own? Does it advance the Trinity War story? Is it worth your time and money? Trinity of Sin: The Phantom Stranger #11 is definitely the best of the tie-ins so far, it's not a terrific read on its own because you absolutely do…
"Bat and Mouse" by John Layman and Jason Fabok is another fine chapter in what's shaping up to be a really solid arc, but there were a few hiccups. These hiccups include a panel in which the letterer printed the wrong dialogue in the wrong speech balloons, a scene in which Batman is beaten down…
