4 on Upcoming Comics November 28, 2023Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I don't know about you, but I am stuffed with stuffing and writing this up through a tryptophan-induced coma. Hopefully once all of this digests, I'll have the energy I'll need for these reviews, because pretty much from now until the end of the year we'll have our hands full…
Aliens! Spaceships! Batman! That’s right folks, it’s Jason Aaron’s first outing writing the Dark Knight, and I for one couldn’t be more stoked about the premise! Anyone who knows me or my work knows that I’m a MASSIVE fan of the Brave and the Bold cartoon for its silly Silver-Age-ness, and that’s EXACTLY what Off-World promised. Did…
“Heir to the Kingdom” continues! Last month Thunderman viciously attacked Superman, and this month the second chapter picks up where the first left off. Can Batman and Superman save Thunderman, or has Thunderman gone to the dark side completely? And what happens when Batman and Superman run into their Kingdom Come counterparts? Last but not…
As the dust of The Gotham War settles, we enter a new era for Catwoman… almost. Tini Howard remains the writer on the series going forward, though other members of the creative team have changed. Selina is now presumed dead and has decided to leave Gotham and take down some criminals that she always wanted…
As the Out Of The Shadows arc comes to a close, the Titans conclude the first act of the series' most pressing issues. Firstly, Beast Boy continues his mission to challenge the way the Titans save the day. Most importantly, Nightwing solves the mystery of Wally's death using his own methods. Yet, the Titans still…
The next installment of Dick Grayson's new pirate adventure is just over the horizon! Now that Nightwing and Captain Blüd have made an alliance, they set sail to confront her evil half-brother. Yet, although billed as a swashbuckling epic, Nightwing is closer to Tim Allen's The Santa Clause version of piracy. Let's take a look.…
I am writing this review in a place of despair for DC Comics. Their comics have sunk down to the lowest quality I have ever seen them, EVER. It used to be that you could at least count on the main Batman ongoing to be decent, but after the nonsensical Gotham War event, that is…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I didn't have anything to review this week, so I spent my time finishing Baldur's Gate 3. What a fantastic game. Very few RPGs are able reach this level of reactivity and world depth. Especially early on, it feels as though there are a million small decisions you can make…
As far back as 1951, we've known about the Joker's beginnings on that fateful night at the Ace Chemical Plant (or was it the Monarch Playing Card Company?) Dressed up as the Red Hood, his heist goes horribly wrong when he comes face to face with Batman. One dip in a vat of chemicals later,…
Issue #3 is upon us and unfortunately all is not well in the world of Batman and Robin. This book is floundering and wasting the potential it has. Coming into this issue our heroes are still trying to save White Rabbit from the Terrible Trio. Past that, it’s mostly action. Well, let’s not delay any…
Waid’s World’s Finest comics have been a stellar exercise in modernizing what we love about the old days. All the bright, flashy, simple costumes have been updated to reflect more modern sensibilities; the stories are as campy and goofy as we all know and loved, but with deeper, more fleshed out characters reminiscent of current…
We're now on the second issue of this "Outlaw" intermission arc, and the story still feels very comfortable just setting the stage. That's not necessarily a bad thing; it's often at its best when focusing on atmosphere rather than the grandiose plot. However, with only five chapters in total before we jump into the next…
One of the first comics I remember reading in high school was the "Looking For Trouble" arc of Nightwing's Outsiders. Over the years, the team has continued to evolve and serve many purposes. This iteration reunites Kate Kane and Luke Fox for another unique mission of discovery. Specifically, Kelly and Lanzing exploit the opportunity to…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I've finally caught up on all the comics that I missed while I was away on vacation, and boy, what a wild range of quality there is. You don't always notice it until you read them all back to back like that, but there will be series that fill you…
There can be only one! And thankfully that doesn’t mean there’s only one issue left cause Joker the Joker who stopped Jokering or whatever is finally all wrapped up! We have a big showdown involving the two characters and a bunch of their goons and allies by their side. There’s a couple twists and turns…
I’d like to ask the readers a question. If you are still buying Poison Ivy, why is that? I’m not saying that in a snarky way as if “no one would ever want to read this book!” It’s just that I feel the momentum of intrigue once held by this book has been slowly fading…
Our crew journeys further into the land of the Amazons in order to retrieve Sin as discreetly as possible. The plan being set up since the first issue has really kicked up a notch as our heroines advance into this thrilling and dangerous land! My excitement at the third issue in this series is matched…
Hello, all; I'll be taking over Batman reviews from now on. Unfortunately, Casper suffered severe psychic damage from reviewing Gotham War, and can only review good comics like Batman/Superman: World's Finest until further notice. Batman #139 steps out of Gotham War seemingly looking to start fresh and get back to the type of Batman stories…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! You know, with so many disappointing and frustrating comics coming out recently, it can be easy to feel burnt out on superheroes as a whole. When that happens, sometimes all you need is something really good to get you back in the swing of things. For me, I recently binged…
Taking a page from manga and book publishers, DC has revealed that they will begin selling a new line of "Compact Comics" graphic novels that stand at a modest 5.5" x 8.5". The same size as a trade paperback novel, these graphic novels are intended to be an easy way for new readers to pick…
