19 on Upcoming Comics July 8, 2023Hello everyone and welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This week we have a few new Knight Terrors titles starting, alongside some of our regular content like Batman Inc! How are you all liking the Knight Terrors titles so far? For my part I’ve seen some mixed reviews and I feel much the same way. I’ve…
Reading through this Joker series has been a slog so far. The one thing that has been keeping me going is this Knight Terrors book. Why? Because the idea 0f the Joker’s worst nightmare being a 9-5 desk job sounds brilliant! But how does Rosenberg execute this idea? I had high expectations for this book.…
I could spend this entire opening paragraph ranting about event fatigue, and how tired I am of crossovers. But if there’s one thing that I’m even more tired of, it’s the death of the Waynes in Crime Alley, and you can count on DC deciding to use that tired trope yet again in an event…
A mysterious and deadly new villain named Insomnia forces the world into eternal slumber as he searches their dreams. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and others must face their nightmares to combat this foe before he gets what he wants! Meanwhile, Knight Terrors: Black Adam #1 pits Insomnia against the king of Kahndaq. Of course, Black…
In today’s issue of Poison Ivy, Ivy wakes up in a world where everything is colored in bright pastels. She’s in a neatly manicured neighborhood where all the Batman heroes and villains live in harmony together. She and Harley own a nice house in this neighborhood. Their neighbors are Batman and Selina Kyle, who are…
Knight Terrors is finally upon us, and it all starts here with Knight Terrors: First Blood #1. This event will take over almost every DC Comics title through July and August, so what is it exactly that we'll all be reading for two months? Well, in short, nightmares. I know, you're all shocked. It's a…
Hello everyone and welcome back to Upcoming Comics! We are officially into July and with it, the start of DC’s latest event: Knight Terrors! In fact, it’s Knight Terrors titles across the board this week, with a few exceptions tucked down in Beyond the Bat. I’ve already mentioned my general fatigue regarding long events like…
Hm. Hm. Honestly, I could end my review right there. There's something to say about a comic that makes you furrow your brow in thought: maybe it doesn't leave an overly positive or negative impact, but it leaves an impression all the same. Is that the metric of a well-crafted comic? Something you can appreciate,…
We’re here at the finale of this underwhelming series. It got canceled before it ever really picked up and in my eyes will have had a pretty negative legacy for the character of Tim Drake. Personally I will always associate it with the pinkwashing of police officers through the character Detective Williams who thankfully never…
This month’s Detective Comics follows directly on the heels of the previous issue. In it, Batman continues his battle with Arzen and the rest of his team must deal with the fallout of the explosion that rocked the Orgham’s grand opening. One of the elements I wanted from this issue was for the momentum to…
Tini Howard’s Harley Quinn run is…mediocre. I've read Harley Screws Up the DCU, so Tini's writing of Harley is almost refreshing in a sense. This issue in particular is probably the most decent I’ve read so far. That's mainly because it’s just mostly innocent dialogue between characters setting up where the story is at now…
This month's cover happens to be the one used in the series' initial announcement (though mislabeled as a variant for issue #1 at the time) back when we knew next to nothing about it. The history of the title, as well as the silver age costumes worn by the chess pieces on the board had…
With Straightman and Task Force X behind us, Batman: The Adventures Continue Season 3 begins new arc focusing on the al Ghuls and a changed Gotham City. More than the final story for the miniseries and even Batman: The Adventures Continue as a whole, it's almost framed like a finale for the universe all together.…
Hello everyone! Welcome to Upcoming Comics! I hope you’ve all had an excellent week. Mine has been a little on the wilder side, between moving and some serious staffing changes at work I feel like I’ve been too busy to really keep up with much. That said, I’m going to dive straight into our upcoming…
Batgirls enters its final issue this month as it wraps up a short arc focused on The Hill, the people within, and the Batgirls place in all of it. As the series comes to close, it strives to tie together themes and ideas from the series, as well as the arc itself. Let’s take a…
The Vigil is back this month for more mystery and intrigue! I thought the first issue was a pretty solid start but felt a little lacking in characterization for the team. Can part two remedy this problem while maintaining what was already working? Let’s see! I did enjoy this issue. Unfortunately, it also makes what…
The chase is on! Every story needles the thread of Joker’s past as his children crash into the future setting of Batman Beyond the White Knight. I’ve already expressed my concerns about the target audience of this mini-series not really getting the same level of complex art and storytelling as Sean Murphy’s previous Batman comics.…
The true threat of this arc, Newmazo, has been revealed. AI has turned hostile and our heroes have to work together to save the day. This arc has been very action-packed so far, as well as probably the biggest arc yet, since it involves the wider DC Universe and doesn’t just revolve around Batman and…
Catwoman #56 features high stakes action and a clearer sense of purpose than the series has had in recent memory. Marcus To and Marco Santucci split art duties this time around, and while both are competent, the switch up in style for the finale of this arc is a bit of a shame. The first…
Nightwing #105 features art completely from Nightwing’s first person point of view, creating an interesting but debatably distracting, visual experience. Tom Taylor’s script is solid, but Bruno Redondo’s pencils display the pros and cons of dedicating an entire issue to a single visual perspective, no matter how fun the novelty appears at first glance. The…
