8 on Batman #135 reviewIssue #135 is not only the finale of Zdarsky’s second arc, but it’s also the 900th Batman issue, and it's oversized. More pages doesn’t automatically mean better quality, though, and it's not a secret that I haven’t been enjoying this run. I hope that this issue will be good, but I’m not feeling optimistic about…
After seven short months, Batman & The Joker: The Deadly Duo has concluded. In this issue, everything is revealed and we are treated to a few twists. So far, this title has been nothing but great. Can it stick the landing though? Well… yes. There were a few things that bothered me and I’ll touch…
I have mixed feelings about this issue of Poison Ivy. On the one hand, I like the overall idea of the story and where it is going. On the other hand, I think that the execution is really off. What Works The overall plot of this issue is that Ivy finally makes a decision to…
I don’t hate this issue of Joker as much as I have the last few issues. There are some good things to glean from it. But if you’re hoping for a lot of plot progression here, after chapter after chapter of this series has gone no where, well you’re out of luck. About Comic Book…
Hello and welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I hope you all have had a great week! Looking ahead at the titles we’re going to be checking out, it’s interesting that this week we have a couple oversized issues being released with Batman hitting issue #900 and Batman & Joker: The Deadly Duo wrapping up its…
My review for the previous issue had an astonishing amount of comments, each one providing fun or insightful viewpoints that I am happy to share here before we start the review!The comments for the last issue were teeming with new ideas as many made their disappointment in DC known. There were lots of complaints and…
Hello all! We're on the back half of The Riddler: Year One now, and as the issues progress, I feel a need to change up my reviewing style. If I have to give this book points for anything, it would have to be consistency. Since issue #1, I've felt its strengths and flaws have remained…
After teasing some further details about the Orgham’s past last month, this issue of Detective Comics makes good on its promise and delivers a backstory meant to give depth, and answer at least a few questions about what’s going on. Since we've seen so much of the family over this series, does this backstory really…
I need you all to understand, Harley Quinn has had some of the worst, most offensive content ever produced for a DC comic book character. I’m experiencing some of that right now in my reviews for Harley Screws up the DCU. So, when a comic comes out, and it’s just sort of painfully average with…
Hello everyone and welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It seems to be conference season as I know a good many people getting back from, and heading out to different conferences this week. I myself just attended a library conference where I got to network, learn, and collect more books than I know what to do…
Catwoman #54 features several interesting character dynamics that find themselves inelegantly utilized to set Selina on a new path forward. Tini Howard wisely wraps up Selina’s stint in prison, but bites off more than the narrative can chew. Team ups that should be satisfying feel rushed and Selina’s prison friends become largely relegated to background…
Nightwing #103 delivers a fun, genuinely surprising story with impressive art from Travis Moore and Vasco Georgiev. Sometimes Taylor’s sense of humor drains the tension from what should be a thrilling narrative. However, this time the series takes itself more seriously, letting the jokes better integrate itself into the drama, rather than inhibiting it. Nightwing,…
It’s the second chapter of the third arc, and this arc is off to a good start. The setup last month was excellent. Not only did it provide a neat jumping-on point, but it was also a strong premise that promises a great adventure, involving Metamorpho and Simon Stagg. I can’t wait to see where…

Hello and welcome back to Upcoming comics! We have a pretty fun lineup this week between Batman/Superman: World’s Finest and Nightwing. Speaking of World’s Finest, it’s solicit time again and I am really excited to see the World’s Finest: Teen Titans news! I feel like that series could be as delightful as Batman/Superman has been…
Back in February, DC announced their Knight Terrors event which would trap DC's heroes and villains in a "Nightmare Realm" where they'll be forced to face their greatest fears. This will affect the entire publishing line, with almost every ongoing title getting a two-part miniseries which will come out over the months of July and…
If you want to make this particular comic fan happy, you can do worse than announcing that Mark Waid will be writing a new DC Comics series. If you want to make me really happy, announce that he's writing two new DC Comics series. If you want to make me really, really happy, make sure…

Avoid this comic. No, I’m not going to beat around the bush with any witty introduction. You should not buy this comic. It is an abomination on every level.
