81 on Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War: Scorched Earth #1 reviewCasper and I are back (Casper’s thoughts will be in black), working together to review this final issue of The Gotham War. Neither of us came out of the opening chapter excited to keep reading this event and as you may have seen in our ensuing Batman and Catwoman reviews, things have not gotten any…
The Orghams' plan moves into its final stages as Batman loses his last grasps on sanity and Gotham itself turns on him. I'm reminded immensely of the Room 101 scene at the end of 1984. By all reasonable accounts, they've won. They have Batman locked up in a cage and are preparing the means of…
Good evening ghouls and boils, and welcome to an extra spooky Upcoming Comics! Well ok, not that spooky. DC already did their whole Halloween special a couple weeks back, and this is a fifth Tuesday which means that there's not a lot coming out. But is what's coming out devilishly devious?! Also no. However, Gotham…
When The Penguin #1 came out two months ago my attitude on this series shifted from one of skepticism to legitimist interest. It seemed at the time that there was the potential for this to be a character-driven story that not only humanized Penguin but introduced a supporting cast that was equally compelling. Then issue…
Red Hood loses his ability to function and the baddies fight each other to get him back and it’s just a whole lotta nonsense from there. This mini-series is going out of its way to be crazy now and I’m kind of into it. At least I’m enjoying the absurdity a lot more than the…
Detective Comics returned from Knight Terrors last month with an an impressive and introspective look into Bruce's psyche. Rather than focusing on the ongoing plot, it used a series of vignettes and dream sequences to great success. This month sees a return to a more traditional narrative as we follow up on the fallout of…
Solicits don't usually matter very much. I think that in general, people base their comic buying decision on what the comic is about as a whole and the creative team, vs the promotional text for an individual issue. However, for a series like this it's actually very important. Readers don't have a good way of…
Temporarily coming in as a last minute substitute, I'll be your "Dante" through Neo Gothic's increasingly weird "Inferno." As Batman and Kyle delve further into the underground, they begin to experience gnostic hallucinations. Unfortunately, that means an entire issue of fighting their way out of a seemingly never ending nightmare! A Long Strange Trip Max…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I'm back in the States and... Gotham War is still going on, huh? I guess I just sort of hoped that things would be magically over by the time I got back, regardless of what was actually scheduled. Then again, I've seen the sales numbers for the event. Of course…
By now, we’ve gotten a good look at the kind of sales estimates this series has received…and it’s not good. This book has been floundering, unable to stay anywhere near the top 100 comics. Unfortunately, this was expected. None of the Harley Quinn-led books have been selling well. This is the third Harley Quinn mini-series…
Finally, I can see light at the end of the tunnel as this event begins to draw to a close. It is no exaggeration to say that this is my least favorite Bat event of all time and I’m ready for it to wrap up. Last month I said Catwoman #57 was slightly better than…
Is this finally the end? Or is it only the beginning? Honestly I don’t really care. This particular arc is over and the story wrapped up. We got the two kids who are hugging and there for each other but am I here for it? Hell no.Why even bother reviewing this comic when nothing has…
The corporate machine keeps churning and we end up with a product like Justice League vs Godzilla vs Kong. The title is very self explanatory and the comic is delivers on the idea. Nothing special if you ask me but it does entertain and remind you to consume more Detective Comics and Legendary Comics.Brian Buccellato…
A new arc, titled “Heir to the Kingdom,” kicks off in this issue. Previously, a new arc meant that it was also a good jumping-on point for new readers. This time, that might not entirely be the case, since it builds on the second arc of this series, “Strange Visitor,” which introduced David, a young…
Titans #4 slows down Tom Taylor's epic to focus on the smaller gears moving the story. As the Titans question their new direction and Wally's impending death, other sinister elements develop before the Titans can realize. One Good Deed At A Time Taylor circles back to the symbiotic relationship between Beast Boy and Raven. Comparatively,…
Tom Taylor and Stephen Byrne's new swashbuckling adventure continues in part two of "The Crew Of The Crossed Keys." Last time, Heartless and Tony Zucco team up to kill the Quartermaster during a robbery. However, in the process they discover that their clandestine target is missing. Now, Nightwing's pirate adventure transforms into a romance novel…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I'll be honest with all of you, I haven't thought about comics at all over the past week while on vacation. I've been having a lovely time eating pasta, drinking wine, and visiting museums. At no point did I have to devote any of my brain to whatever is going…
In a surprising bit of news, DC Comics have announced that the long-dormant Elseworlds imprint will make a comeback next year with several waves of new, out of continuity titles. Elseworlds, for those unaware, was a line of comics where creators could take familiar characters and put a brand new spin on them. And not…
We're sad to hear and report that prolific writer, artist, and all-around comics legend Keith Giffen has died. The initial announcement was posted to his Facebook page on the evening of October 11, with a dry and morbidly comical update that fit Giffen's well-known sense of humor: <iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Ftherealgiffen%2Fposts%2Fpfbid04VAbycyEFFEkpHTajoLmQ2FgeNTpQs9NihDx6VGZiX1Da7VHXyR6Ea8Yh8uY46Jml&show_text=true&width=500" width="500" height="200" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"…
Batman and Robin are back again this month picking up directly where the previous issue left off. Last time, I had some reservations but on the whole felt this book was shaping up pretty well. My question now is, will the creative team build off their groundwork in an interesting way? Let’s see! The bottom…
