8 on Batman and Robin #4 reviewLast month we left Robin in the grip of Man-Bat, who is revealed to be Shush’s boss and the “big bad” of this arc, if not the entire run. I also ended off my last review saying I hoped things would turn around for this book. It just isn’t as good as it should be.…
Another holiday is almost upon us and that means another anthology from DC. These are always a mixed bag which can make for an interesting experience but hopefully this season we are treated to more positives than negatives! Joining me for this review are Casper, Aaron and Jackson so, without any more chatter, let’s get…
This comic isn't quite like most of the ones we cover here at Batman-News, so this "review" is going to be a bit different as well. Batman #438 is arguably one of the most influential Batman comics of all time, if not for DC Comics as a whole. It may seem strange to think of…
Christian Ward's City of Madness takes place in a topsy turvy world bleeding into Gotham City. After a terrifying version of the dark knight escapes from beneath the city, Gotham's rogues experience otherworldly side effects. Now, Batman and his allies must get ahold of the situation before the city falls to the unexpected calamity. And…
With Titans: Beast World in full swing, the world's heroes and villains are infected and transformed into beast monsters, and Gotham is no exception. What happens when Harley Quinn turns into a muscle-bound rabbit, Jason becomes an angsty wolf, and Huntress transforms into a laser-pointer chasing cat? Read on to find out, but I wouldn't…
Luke Fox is curious about the unknown corners of the globe. Luckily, because his father stole Bruce's money during Joker War, he has the money and time to explore it. Indulging his quest for knowledge is Bat-Family black sheep Kate Kane and a new version of Wildstorm's Drummer. As equal partners, Kate has her own…
How do you follow up a comic that ends with Batman being hanged from the neck in front of a crowd of people? Detective Comics #1078 was structured like so many heist missions that Ram V has written in the pages of Catwoman, except this time they lost. Now obviously this was not simply the…
It's the last issue of this miniseries, and the Titans are gearing up to face their greatest foe yet: themselves! Can Robin pull the team together in time to stop the Terror Titans and save the future of superhero-dom as we know it? Let's dive in and find out! When there's trouble... This was a…
After Beast Boy's transformation, the entire DC Universe reels in shock of a worldwide shapeshifter epidemic. Horrifyingly, every nation of the world must contend with violent beast attacks. Pretty soon the Titans, Justice League, and all other metahumans become targets of the power hungry parasitic horde. If anything, I feel bad for Beast Boy. Let's…
The second installment of Gargoyle of Gotham by Rafael Grampá picks up where it left off. Batman defeats the ink covered serial killer Crytoon with his bare hands. However, the following investigation potentially reveals a complex web of corruption, and yet another serial killer is still on the loose! Don't Try This At Home Batman…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Buckle up, folks, this week is gonna be a long one. We've got ten titles to review, including one giant anthology collection. Christmas specials, the now seemingly bi-monthly events, and a couple black label bat books all aligned together to give us one heck of a busy week here at…
When last we left Poison Ivy, Ivy's past misdeeds were coming back to haunt her. The infection she planted was finally taking hold of her victims. Meanwhile, there was a weird love triangle going on between Ivy, Harley, and Janet. Consequently, I’ve admitted to having become rather disillusioned by this series, despite the fact that…
Diana rushes to the island with her golden lasso in hand. She's ready to get down to business and find out why the Birds of Prey are invading her island. The stars of the show are scattered across the island with their mission about to go terribly wrong in this new exciting issue of Birds…
The previous issue got the arc off to a great start with an atmospheric detective story that used the Joker in a refreshingly straight forward way. Its fun house of horrors structure was exactly what the run needed after so many events and multiverses. That is, until the final pages. So much goodwill washed away…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I don't know how many of you play tabletop RPGs, but I just finished running my first D&D campaign after 2 years. It only had 38 sessions (in case you wanted to know how difficult it can be to line up the schedules of five people in their late 20s),…
Well, this is getting tiresome. For the fourth month in a row, someone is getting recruited and Penguin’s plan inches (though an inch seems too large an increment) toward fruition. I predicted this last month and I’ve certainly been proven right. This comic’s extreme lack of narrative motion is making for an excruciating read and…
Last month saw a number of stories reach their finales, so aside from the Pygmalion story, everything here is a fresh start that should appeal to new readers. It's also a collection of incredibly different genres, which is good for an anthology like this. Of course, the flip side of that is there's a good…
The first major challenge Gardner Fox presents for his Justice League in Brave In The Bold #28 (1960) is the conqueror, Starro. Throughout the decades, Starro would return, even reincarnating as the innocent "Jarro" in Scott Snyder's No Justice (2018). After the Justice League disbanded, it makes sense to christen the Titans with their own…
Detective Comics' "Outlaw" arc has been a slow burn up until this point, setting up the pieces and establishing its tone. For those of you who have been looking forward to the payoff, look no further. With all of her allies gathered, Catwoman finally launches her plan to rescue Batman. Fans of Ram V's Catwoman…
In the heart of Gotham, far beneath its surface, Terry and Kyle Selina the Catboi find themselves in the Garden. After four issues of teasing a supernatural, botanical entity that has been kidnapping children, we finally see the subterranean entity for what it is. So what has all the build up been for? Would you…
