11 on Batman and Robin #5 reviewThis month Batman and Robin are working to confirm Damian’s suspicions about the identity of his principal in the aftermath of their confrontation with Man-Bat. I haven't been enjoying this series recently but maybe with a new artist things will change. Let’s not waste any time and get right into it! This is my favorite…
Tom Taylor continues to guide the Titans through their first and possibly last time leading a crisis. As the tension and collateral rises, Amanda Waller pulls the trigger at just the right time to undermine the heroes. Let's take a look! Pain, Confusion, Fear, and Loss Where the heroes have begun to run out of…
In this next fantastical issue of Kelly and Lanzing's Outsiders, Luke and Kate explore a niche pocket universe. However, before the two know it, they end up knee deep in an uncomfortable amount of parallel Batmen. Let's take a closer look! Because Why Not Following the book's episodic format, the Outsiders choose another random mystery…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's a short one this week, as we only have three titles and one of them is just the latest event. Could you imagine if DC had less than 28 events a year? There might be a few days without a long list of bat titles coming out, and I'd…
The way that Chip Zdarsky has incorporated the multiversal Zur-En-Arrh concept into this story has always been problematic. While it started as a revisiting of a concept introduced by Grant Morrison in Batman R.I.P., it quickly lost the plot attempting to integrate the excessive fanservice from the big #900 anniversary issue. Suddenly, not only was…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! As we dawn on a new year, it comes time to reflect upon our triumphs and regrets from the one past. I believe it is an inarguable truth that the most common regret would be not reading enough comics, and that rings especially true for Batman comics. After all, every…
Happy Holidays, Bat-fans! It’s been a rough past few days for me (no need to worry, just the standard Christmas travel nightmares!), so it’s nice to finally have a chance to sit down and read what has been one of my favorite comics this month! We’re doing this 4-issue miniseries in one go, but if…
Way back in the Summer of 2022, writer Ram V started his run on Detective Comics with issue #1062. Since then, the title has been told as one continuous story, focusing on Batman's struggle against the mysterious Orgham family. V has described the narrative as "operatic", with its structure being broken up into acts that…
My editor doesn't like it when we make predictions in our reviews. It rarely adds anything substantial to the commentary itself, and you open yourself up to looking foolish if you're wrong. I get that. That being said, I almost wish I had last review because this ending could be seen coming a mile away.…
After the excitement of last issue, the story takes a moment to decompress as the ramifications of Selina's heist unfold. She and her crew are on the run, trying to escape Gotham and find somewhere safe to take Batman. Like a lot of issues in this run, this one feels very transitional. That's not necessarily…
Titans continues its Brother Eternity storyline in the midst of the line wide Beast World event. This time, Brother Eternity attempts to salvage his plan for world domination. Consequently, the Titans must foil Brother Eternity's plans and hold the line until the beast crisis ends. Let's take a look! Royal Blood Starfire takes much of…
Tom Taylor has taken the same world-ending infections terrorizing DCeased and DC Vs. Vampires to the main universe. After stopping an alien invasion, Amanda Waller causes most nations to transform into beasts against their will. Now, it is up to the surviving heroes to undo the nightmare reality of the Beast World. Keeps The Doctor…
As is often the case with this anthology series, there are no new stories here aside from the black and white backup. I've made my stance on this wasted opportunity abundantly clear, so I won't repeat myself here. For the ongoing stories themselves, they offer the same appeal as their earlier chapters: a wide range…
Welcome back to a very merry Upcoming Comics! The yuletide season is upon us, and that means plenty of food, cold nights, and family. Of course, when you eventually get sick of your family, you'll need some comics to escape to. Well don't worry; we here at Batman News have got you covered. Let's take…
It’s another issue of Off-World! Jason Aaron’s space epic left off on a rather disappointing note last issue, so I’m a little hesitant to dive back in. Ah, what the heck. Let’s do it! So, is it better? Sure is! Issue 2 makes the incredible decision to skip over most of the training it felt…
Catwoman is back this month to make use of another of her newly gained nine lives. This month she’s after Flamingo, who has holed up in Croatia and joined a “theater of death.” Can Selina make it out without losing another life? More importantly, is this issue worth reading? Well, let’s get into it! It’s…
It’s chapter 3 of “Heir to the Kingdom,” the prequel story to Waid and Ross’ Kingdom Come (1996). So far, this arc has been a lot of fun, although there has been a lot of emphasis on hero versus hero fights, which isn’t exactly my favorite story idea in superhero comics, as it’s been done…
Originally, this arc was going to be Nightwing's first swashbuckling pirate adventure. An infamous yet secretive pirate crew protecting their mysterious bank needed his help following theft and murder! Unfortunately, I think the ship has sailed on Tom Taylor's pirate arc. Let's take a look. The Heart of The Story First and foremost, the story…
This is it - my final review for Batman News (at least for now). I may, however, be doing an op-ed finalizing my thoughts on DC’s treatment of Harley Quinn. I love this character to death, at least the way she was supposed to be written. However, despite tanking sales and reader disinterest all around,…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! We managed to get through the tidal wave of comics last week and now we're more or less back to normal. On that front, there isn't a whole lot to say about this week's comic lineup, as it's mostly business as usual. However, we'll be getting some new bat titles…
