7 on Upcoming Comics February 13, 2024Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Valentine's Day is here and that means love is in the air. DC may not be celebrating with any sort of specials or collections, but they've given us an even more wonderful gift: weekly releases of this new Joker story. Just the other day my wife asked me if we're…
Sin got possessed just as the Birds thought they were close to saving her. Now they have to figure out who it is they're actually saving: the monster, the girl or both? In the conclusion to the first arc of Kelly Thompson's Birds of Prey, the new team has to make some difficult decisions as…
Everybody loves an origin story, right? I just wrote a whole piece about how, after the success of Batman: Year One, DC spent the next twenty or so years trying to recapture that magic. It was only a matter of time before Joker had his turn. Of course, Chip Zdarsky has emphatically stated that "this…
Keeping the synergy between DC television, film, and games, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League releases a prequel tie-in comic. Set after the Arkham Asylum trilogy, and before the events of the game, Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum softly introduces the new status quo. Let's take a look! Is This What We've Been Waiting For?…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This week's message is same as it's been: we're on the look out for new comic reviewers and are currently accepting applications from anyone who's interested. If you're a Batman fan and you have ~opinions~, then let us know! Step #1 Introduce yourself. We want to know who you are,…
World’s Finest has been my favorite DC title, and that is mostly because of the core creative team’s quality work. This annual isn’t created by that same team, although Mora did draw the cover and Waid did collaborate with Cullen Bunn on the first story in this issue. Is World’s Finest still a book worth…
Once more, the DC Power anthology returns in honor of Black History Month! Following a deeply personal foreword by Morgan Hampton about the importance of representation to black nerds, the book covers ten different stories set in the DC Universe. Of course, each one highlights unique or unrepresented elements of black culture rarely seen in…
It seems impossible to predict which DC books will get an annual each year but I suppose I should have seen it coming. After all, a new ongoing bat-book is the perfect place to squeeze a little more cash from. Anyway, with that bit of cynicism out of the way, Bruce and Damian are going…
We've made it to the end! Like any uncomfortably long and rough road trip, all I want to do is get out and kiss the ground. Before Tom Taylor's Beast World ends, the heroes must figure out how to stop Dr. Hate and Amanda Waller's plans. Show Your Work I don't know when or how,…
"Trinity" is DC's latest Wonder Girl/Wonder Woman successor, created by Tom King in the backups of his current Wonder Woman run. Those who have come before her tend to have a bad habit of fading into obscurity, but Trinity has a special status that sets her apart: Her name is Elizabeth Marston Prince, and she's…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! For those who haven't seen, we’re putting out the call for new comic book reviewers! If you think you’re interested and want to apply, just follow the steps below. Step #1 Introduce yourself. We want to know who you are, where you’re from, and what kind of schedule you keep.…
This month's issue is, strangely enough, all story finales (plus the obligatory black and white short). That hasn't happened up until now due to the fact that the individual stories have different numbers of chapters, plus the breaks between Tom King's entries. When it was first announced, I thought that everything lining up in that…
With Gotham long behind him, Bruce is taken to the far off desert of Aras to heal from the Orgham assault on his mind. Talia might stand watch over his body, but this issue is a spiritual journey for Bruce more than anything else. Without being bound to any sort of literal reality, Ram V…
As usual, DC promises that every event will be "a game changer," and that the universe "won't be the same." To this end, Beast World features violent mass murder and trauma throughout that world. Most importantly, our optimistic changeling, Beast Boy, is now dead. Before the DC Universe can mourn the lost hero, they must…
This February, Batman will be publishing weekly for its upcoming "Joker Year One" story. Before that comes out, we thought it would be worthwhile to take a look at all the times DC has visited the "Year One" concept in the past. Ever since the massive success of Batman: Year One back in 1987, it…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! In case you missed it last week, we're putting out the call for new comic book reviewers! If you think you're interested and want to apply, just follow the steps below. We'll continue to post this at the top of Upcoming Comics for at least a few weeks to make…
This has been my favorite series, but the things I like the most haven’t been the super-powered brawls. Those are cool to look at for sure, but particularly last issue’s attempts at making Gog more interesting fell flat, as he basically read like a generic evil god, and his motivation was poorly explained. This is…
This month Catwoman is using up another of her nine lives in a decidedly more pursuit than we've yet seen: stealing radioactive black-glass corium from the heart of a melted-down nuclear plant in Markovia! So far I’ve been enjoying this arc and this issue is no different. In fact, this is the best story yet!…
Imperceptibly, Nightwing makes use of its cat meme cover and tells an actual "cat person" story. By the convenience of Beast World, Nightwing and Jon Kent team up to track down Damian when he goes missing. Although, they may need to pry him out of the hands of DC's newest "Beast Woman." Good Cop, Super…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Normally this intro paragraph would be filled with me rambling about whatever is on my mind at that moment (one of the benefits of being given power over this article), but this week we have a special announcement! Batman News is looking for new writers! If you have a passion…
