6 on GCPD: The Blue Wall #6 reviewThis is the series’ finale. It’s no secret that I haven’t enjoyed this book, but I’m still curious about how the creative team wraps up this series. So far, we know that Ortega has turned into a murdering psychopath and that Montoya is trying to find a way to stop him. Let’s have a look.…
Last month we got a very fun one-shot, and this month the new arc begins. Mora is back on art duties, and I’m really looking forward to this story as it will involve Metamorpho and a murder. This has easily been my favorite DC title for months now, so let’s not waste any time and…
Nightwing #102 is a fun romp that puts Nightwing and the Titans up against a threat that unfortunately isn’t quite up to their standards. Tom Taylor’s script is funny, yet the focus on quips and visual gags undermines any semblance of threat that this month’s villain can offer. It’s not the worst trade off, but…
And now we've finally reached the end. The end of what, exactly? That's not entirely clear. This series is constructed as a continuation of the elements from the show, and as such focuses on the themes present there, along with some new ingredients thrown in for good measure. At least, that was the idea. Unfortunately,…
The penultimate chapter of DCeased: War of the Undead Gods has begun! Every story thread spun from the beginning finally leads into a big conflict. As Darkseid and the forces of Anti-living reach Earth-2, the good guys make their desperate last stand. After Alfred Pennyworth made the choice to kill the final members of his…
What is the most positive character trait you can think to give a fictional character? The kind of thing that uncontroversially portrays them in a positive light. "They love puppies" has to be pretty high up there, I would imagine. Batman: One Bad Day: Ra's al Ghul #1 opens with a sequence letting the reader…
Hello and welcome to Upcoming Comics! This week DC has quite a few titles coming out that are Batman related, with some real gems in the line up. I'm particularly interested in the Bloom anthology. With Spring making everything around me grow and bloom, it’ll be nice to read some stories about the season, instead…
DC has just announced that Wayne Family Adventures, Vixen NYC, and Zatanna & The Ripper will all be released in print starting this fall. I'm really excited to get to share this news, I've loved this series since it's first publication and a print version is something I have wanted for a very long time…
Last month’s Batgirls saw Stephanie rescued from her father by Cass, and both girls sufficiently back to normal after their role swap and dangerous interactions with their parents. This month it’s time for them to look into just who might have sent Cluemaster after Steph, and why. This issue acts as a wrap up to…
Batman and Scooby-doo are back! Only this month there seems to be something wrong with their partnership. Has the Scooby gang gone bad? Let’s see! This month’s story is centered around Batman attempting to stop a spree of robberies while being seemingly abandoned by Mystery Inc. The gang has been warned by Madam Xanadu that…
Deadpool Screws the - er, I mean Harley Screws Up the DCU is a strange book to be released right now. For one thing, it’s very similar in tone and style to the main Harley Quinn ongoing series, which is selling abysmally. For another thing, the very plot of the book is incredibly similar to the…
After an encounter with Ghost-Maker's ex-sidekick leaves them shaken, Batman Inc. flies to Gotham to do Batman a solid. However, Professor Pyg's rampage could be a more complex nightmare waiting to happen! Clownhunter may not have killed Ghost-Maker for Phantom-One, but he hasn't forgotten the events of the previous issue. While he hasn't left…
It's the third issue of Geoff Johns' return to the golden age, and things are... boy are they! I've already spoken a bit about my frustrations with Johns' work, so I won't subject you to further rants about how compulsively safe and rooted in the past it is. Instead, I'll just show you a screenshot…
The opening of Batman: The Adventures Continue Season 3 set a high standard for the rest of the series to follow. In many ways it bucked the trend from the past two seasons by abandoning longer arcs for a single, character-focused story. The second issue continued that approach, albeit with less impressive results. Batman: The…
Hello and welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This week I've been thinking a lot about how I anticipate stories and how that can change my view of a book or comic. I know there's been a number of books I was excited for by premise alone that haven't exactly become the book all my imaginings…
Bruce’s adventures in an alternate universe continue. The first two issues of the current arc weren’t very strong. I remember still enjoying the first chapter, but the creative team started to lose me with chapter two. Going into #133, I’m not feeling particularly optimistic. Will the creative team be able to get things back on…
Batman & The Joker: The Deadly Duo is heating up! Now that we’re getting closer to the end, answers to our questions are beginning to surface and the stage is being set for an explosive finale. The series has been very successful so far but does this issue maintain that trend? Let’s see! There are…
I believe that I picked some of the worst books to review here at Batman News. Here we are, six issues into Joker: the Man Who Stopped Laughing, and we still have absolutely no plot progression. In fact, I’d argue we have plot DIGRESSION. A Story Going Nowhere In the last issue, we discovered that…
Last time on Poison Ivy, Pam reunited with Harley and accepted an offer from her to return to Gotham. This issue sees Ivy begin to make the journey back to her hometown, with an unfortunate detour along the way. I’ve been very up and down with my feelings over this series. With Poison Ivy, unsurprisingly,…
Hello and welcome back to Upcoming Comics! March is here and with it the start of Spring weather, and an onslaught of allergies as things bloom back to life. Spring and growth brings to mind Poison Ivy, which we have coming up this week. Ivy was also one of the stars in this past Wednesday’s…
