1 on Batman Incorporated #7 reviewThe Professor Pyg two-parter has finally come to a conclusion! As Batman Inc. closes in on their quarry, Ghost-Maker faces an unexpected temptation. Ghost-Maker uses the hunt for Lazlo "Professor Pyg" Valentin as an exercise for Batman Inc. In the previous issue, Pyg somehow manages to capture major Gotham villains in search of his stolen…
This story has a lot going on. There are mysteries, battles, revelations, and twists. We finally get answers to the questions raised last issue, and the conflicts they've created all start coming to a head. At first glance it seems like the formula for an exhilarating comic. However, when there are only about twenty pages…
Hello and welcome back to Upcoming Comics! No matter what you celebrate, or if you celebrate at all I hope you’re having a good holiday weekend! Mine has been busy and filled with things like apartment hunting and coming down with a cold that’s shaken up pretty much everything. In light of that, I’m going…
Last year, writers Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing created Batman Beyond: Neo-Year. Spinning out of the pages of Batman: Urban Legends, it followed Terry McGinnis as he coped with the death of Bruce Wayne and had to handle the Batman mantle alone. If that weren't enough, Gotham itself had become a malicious AI bent on…
We’ve arrived at the penultimate issue of this phenomenal miniseries and I can’t believe it’s almost over already. The best ones always go too fast. Ah, well. Let’s get into another edition of “William heaps praise on Marc Silvestri.” This issue is one of the strongest yet. There are still some big reveals that are…
I haven’t been a fan of Zdarsky’s run and, unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to get any better. The current arc so far is derivative and filled with melodrama, and the action hasn’t been particularly good, as you can see in my fight breakdown in my previous review. I always want creative teams to succeed, but…
What can you really say about a comic when nothing is happening in it? That’s the question I asked myself when I started this review. Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing is the story of two Jokers. We are supposed to be invested in discovering why there are two Jokers and where the real one…
Last month, Poison Ivy’s powers got out of control and wound up turning an environmentalist's retreat into a love fest. Will Ivy get her powers under control and right the wrongs she had unintentionally caused? Let’s take a look! On the Right Track This series went from being my highest rated book, to becoming one…
Hello and welcome back to Upcoming Comics everyone! We don’t have a ton to cover this week regarding titles being published on the Batman side of things, so I thought I’d speak briefly on some of the news that’s been coming out regarding future comic titles. It should be no surprise that with cancellations announcements…
DC Comics has been very busy at this week's MegaCon with all of their announcements of upcoming projects. On Friday, they premiered a trailer for the Dawn of DC initiative, including news from the creators of some their series plans. Among them was the announcement of a new Batman and Robin series from writer Joshua…
Every year the GLAAD Media Awards are meant to recognize pieces of art for their representation of the LGBTQ community. Started in 1990 by GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation), the awards have presented the title of Outstanding Comic Book to comics which promote that same message of inclusion. Notable past winners include Neil…
Now the 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! I feel like my review was blessed by a series of in depth essays tackling the series in their own way and so…
Harley Quinn is in desperate need of reinvigoration as a character in comics. Her run by Stephanie Phillips and Riley Rossmo was one of her shortest yet, clocking in at under 30 issues. The other various titles DC keeps releasing for Harley haven’t been doing too well either. Will Tini Howard be the one to…
Way back in my review for issue #1, I said that the main themes of Gotham City: Year One looked to be racial prejudice and moral decay. The series has thrown one major twist after another at its readers, but ultimately that's what everything comes down to. The veneer of respectability surrounding Gotham City has…
This month Detective Comics continues to work its way steadily deeper into the web of intrigue it’s built around the Orghams, and into Bruce’s own struggle with his continuing mission as Batman. Reading Detective Comics has begun to feel like a lesson in patience. I enjoy it, and each issue does take time to focus…
The Royal Flush Gang decide to abandon Punchline after the ambush by the Gentleman's Club at Port Royal. Meanwhile, Alexis Kaye is alive and in the welcoming company of the Joker. The primary theme of this issue seems to surround Alexis having no one she can trust. Unsurprisingly, Punchline has little to no friends. Luckily,…
The fighting finally ends after the latest death of one of the three monarchs in the land. Sadly, the existence of this new threat means that the war isn't over. Hopefully knowing the truth can restore the trust between the kingdoms before it is too late. The mother of the Amazons has died in battle.…
It's the final issue of this series, and while I'm not exactly distraught to see it go, I do think it's a little sad that this might be the last we see of this version of Batman's world. I've really enjoyed the Gotham Knights universe, and I hope we get to see more of it in…
Hello everyone and welcome back to Upcoming Comics! While we have a lot to talk about this week, I wanted to note that there are a few series ending this week, like Punchline and Gotham City: Year One. I’ve always found wrapping up stories to be the hardest part of any type of writing. When…
Catwoman #53 doesn’t boldly take the series in a new direction, but Tini Howard’s focus on characterization mostly distracts the reader from a narrative treading water. The prison setting isn’t wholly befitting an extended visit from Selina Kyle who’s better suited to sleuth about museums, high roller clubs, or any environment full of riches. However,…
