11 on World’s Finest: Teen Titans #2 reviewHey there, Bat-fans! As many of you may know, I’m a huge fan of Mark Waid’s work. My first encounter with him was his Legion of Super-Heroes run when I was 11, during my initial period of obsession with the team, and I fell head over heels for his writing. Since then, I’ve read countless more of his…
Last month Knight Terrors: Robin opened by dropping both Jason Todd and Tim Drake into their own personal nightmares together. It very much felt like only part of a story rather than a completed thought. This issue steps in to wrap up the ideas presented in the previous one, and finish the story. I was…
My primary complaint with this series so far has been that not much actually happens. There's been a lot of vague gesturing towards Insomnia's master plan facilitating the event, but never with enough focus that it might wrap things up too quickly. Knight Terrors #3 finally manages to establishes a concrete sense of momentum for…
Ghost-Maker has lost control of Batman Incorporated! In spite of his rededication to Batman's values, Ghost-Maker doesn't have what it takes lead them against the Joker. As the Joker's plan comes together, Batman Inc. must determine once and for all who lives or dies! Over My Dead Body During the hostage crisis in China, Bat-Man…
It is with great joy and gladness that I write this final review. I am finishing the terrible mini-series: Harley Quinn Screws Up the DCU. I’ve reviewed individual bad comics before, but this is the first time I’ve reviewed an entire series that is this bad. I gave 0.5/10’s to most of the issues. Does…
After reuniting in Spirit World #3, Xanthe, Batgirl, and Constantine fight together against an unknown evil. Even so, the heroes seem to be one battle ahead and step behind the malevolent being pulling the strings. Resident Evils Alyssa Wong shifts gears by uniting the unlikely team of heroes on the trail of an all powerful…
Hello everyone! Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! We’re into our second week of August already and I don’t know about you, but the month already seems to be flying by me. I’m also feeling Fall creeping as stores start to put out decorations and the heat presses in on me in a way that leaves…
My god… Bat-fans? Is that you? How did you make it to my doomsday bunker? After all these years… What’s that? Months? It’s only been two months? I see… Well, is Geoff Johns at least done putting out JSA? No? One issue? Out today? Welp. Okay then Was it worth the wait? No. Of course…
Knight Terrors: Black Adam follows Black Adam's unfortunate dilemma in the sinister nightmare world. As the antihero wanders the dreamscape, Bast attempts to guide him towards the Rock of Eternity. Whether he should trust the spirit is unclear, but Adam is desperately running out of time. Nothing To Fear As far as I understand, Insomnia's…
I was worried that I was reading too much into the first issue of Knight Terrors: Poison Ivy. I thought that issue was a brilliant exploration of Ivy's psyche and relationships. How disappointed I was to pick up this issue and see that I was wrong. Harley and Ivy's Relationship Can Never Have Flaws I thought…
After a disappointing first issue, is there a way to redeem Joker’s Knight Terrors arc? Well yes, but just slightly. The Sketch is a Bit Funnier The first issue of Joker’s nightmare fell flat when it came to the comedy. This sequel chapter, however, has several jokes that work a lot better. Seeing the Joker…
Main Story As suddenly as it began, Batman: Knight Terrors is wrapping up. In a lot of ways, this month is more of the same. However, there is one key difference… me! Casper was unable to find enough time for this review so, I’m here to pick up the slack. With that out of the…
Hello everyone and welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This week I have some sad news to share with everyone, at the end of August I’ll be leaving regular reviews and the Upcoming Comics article for personal reasons. Some of it is time constraints, but a lot of it is just general life messiness getting in…
Eisner Award winning artist Christian Ward has announced that he will be writing and drawing a three part, prestige 48-page-issue miniseries called Batman: City of Madness. Based on Lovecraftian cosmic horror, it will act as a "pseudo sequel" to Grant Morrison's Arkham Asylum: Serious House on a Serious Earth. In addition, Ward has listed Scott Snyder's…
Detective Comics foray into the Knight Terrors event focuses in on Jim Gordon rather than Batman himself, and takes a look at Gotham and Jim’s role in stewarding it through the years, and all the insecurities that come with a lifetime spent trying to save one city. The book opens on a snowy day in…
Knight Terrors has taken over the DC Universe! A mysterious villain called Insomnia haunts the dreams of the heroes and villains in search of a powerful artifact. Yet, Insomnia didn't account for heroes like the Titans to find a way to fight their way out of his nightmare. Haunted Part one of a continuing story,…
Well, I read one good issue of Knight Terrors. I read another one that sounded good but failed in its execution. Now I can say I’ve read one that falls apart in every way possible. So, Harley Quinn Has No Fears, You Say? This comic starts with Harley having a dream about being back in…
Welcome back, Bat-boys and girls! We now arrive at the stunning conclusion of the Batman: The Audio Adventures limited issue series. In the penultimate chapter, horror unfolds in two places at once. Batman attempts to stop the prophecy of the Demon, as Robin and Killer Croc unexpectedly find themselves on a collision course with the…
Batman Beyond: Neo-Year slowly built up a lot of good will before unfortunately dropping the ball at the very end. Its downfall was arguably due to biting off more than it could chew, and promising to tackle complex, nuanced topics that it ultimately couldn't. Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic #1 picks up after the end of that…
I won't spend this month's review giving an extended rant about the state of anthologies in comics like I did last month. However, I will say that once again the cover art has absolutely nothing to do with any of the stories inside. Joker doesn't even feature in any of them! Oh well, I'm sure…
