6 on The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #3 reviewBats and Scoob are back, and this time in an ongoing series! Join me as we delve into the next collaboration between Mystery Inc. and the Caped Crusader. What puzzles will await? Zoinks! I hadn't read any of the previous Scooby-Doo/Batman comics before reading this. What I had seen, however, was a DVD copy of…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's the start of a new era here at Batman News. As you may have seen, we've got a new batch of reviewers joining the team, and we're all excited to see what kind of work they cook up. Two of them are hitting the ground running with titles to…
One of the things we love most about comics is how they connect us together, uniting fans in celebration of the medium. We don't always agree on everything, but we share a passion for comics and, specifically, Batman. With so many Batman comics being published, and many more on the way, we wanted to bring…
Last month's issue wrapped up all of its ongoing stories, which means that this should theoretically act as a perfect jumping on point for anyone looking to start something new. That hasn't been the case across the board since the series began. The question is, will these new stories be worth picking up DC's latest…
Last issue began an interesting narrative structure where the B-plot was framed as a totally different story that alternated back and forth with the A-plot. That Gotham side story primarily added context and perspective to the main events happening in Bruce's mind. It was in line with how this run has been using its backups,…
For years, almost all comic book publishers released new issues on Wednesdays. This was largely driven by the shipping schedules of Diamond Comic Distributors, who had handled distribution for most of the industry since the 90s. Comics publishing used to be much less centralized before then, with numerous distributors for various local markets. However, after…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Recently DC Announced 2024's Summer event, and there's something about the wording that terrifies me. It's not the latest event, or the next big event, but "2024's Summer event". That, to me, indicates a clear editorial direction. Events are now the status quo meant to happen seasonally. It feels as…
Amanda Waller has been working behind the scenes of almost every DC event since 2022's Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths to undermine the Earth's heroes. From creating evil doppelgangers to transforming the world's population into animals, no act has been too far if it meant sowing distrust of metahumans. Thanks to her efforts, the Justice…
It’s the end to “Heir to the Kingdom,” and while it’s been an entertaining story, I’ve had my doubts about how the conclusion would turn out. One of the things I was wondering was whether or not Darkseid would get knocked out with (relative) ease, much like Gog in the previous issue, resulting in a…
In collaboration with DC, The Folio Society, an independent hardback book publisher, will celebrate the 85th anniversary of the first comic book appearance of Batman with the release of DC: Batman! This collectible compilation includes a total of twelve classic comics from of iconic creators such as Bill Finger, Bob Kane, Jerry Robinson, Denny O'Neil,…
It seems like Amanda Waller is everywhere at DC right now but you know where she hasn’t been yet? Catwoman. This month DC fixes that as Selina joins the Suicide Squad to steal from Black Adam. It should be interesting to see how this turns out, so let’s get right into it! Last month, we…
Honestly, in between earth shattering events and family squabbles, Batman and Nightwing never get much face time. Luckily, when Heartless kills a man in Gotham, Dick and Bruce unite to solve the sensitive mystery together. Coincidentally, the murderer leaves the victims son Iko alive. Let's dive deeper. Left Behind While out on patrol, Batman encounters…
Here it is, the finale. The climax that Joker's revamped origin-that's-not-an-origin has been building towards. A story's ending can often determine the success of its overall narrative themes and goals. For Joker Year One, that means showing the reader that the Joker's rise to power and journey into insanity successfully creates a more compelling character…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Last week I commented on the fact that it was Valentine's Day, and sure I guess that's a holiday that some people are aware of, but now we can celebrate something much bigger. Join me and the rest of the Batman News crew as we ring in the day that…
After the “big” reveal last month regarding the goalie, Zach’s, parentage, Batman and Robin are keeping a close eye on him. What nefarious schemes is this soccer-playing villain hatching? Let’s see! Well, that was anticlimactic. What I had assumed was the start of an ongoing subplot wraps up in rather dull fashion (Spoilers Ahead). I…
There's a word that I feel perfectly encapsulates this issue's attitude towards the Joker. Unfortunately, I don't think I should use that word in this review, so I'll just say it's excessively self-indulgent and obsessed with the idea of how amazing he is. Everything from the way other characters talk about him to the framing…
Way back in the year 2000, Christopher Priest alongside artist Shawn Martinbrough created Batman: The Hill. It was a one-shot comic that debuted the titular Gotham neighborhood. A crime-ridden, poverty-stricken, predominately black neighborhood that the powers in Gotham City government pretend doesn't exist, The Hill was above all else a way for Priest to tackle…
After three harrowing issues, Batman: City Of Madness comes to a sudden end! Before the Batman Below can corrupt Jevonney, Batman must battle new versions of his rogues in a dark mirror world. Only, the denizens of the twisted parallel world may not be what he expected at all. Swallowed By The Mouth Of Madness…
The Outsiders continue exploring the weird and wild underbelly of the DC Universe the best they can. This time, Drummer takes the lead in the investigation of worldwide phenomenon surrounding a new metahuman. Rather than focus on the team's perspective, Kelly and Lanzing take readers through the life of a troubled twenty-something. Let's take a…
Long before either DC Comics or Marvel were the multibillion dollar media juggernauts they are now, they were occasionally willing to work together. While almost unthinkable today, you used to be able to buy an official comic that included characters from both companies. Starting in 1976 with Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man, the two publishers…
