2 on Detective Comics #1069 reviewLast month’s issue ended with Two-Face rescuing Batman, after Harvey finally decided to let his other half know the Caped Crusader’s true identity. Injured, and under the care of not only Two-Face but the Ten Eyed Man as well, just what’s in store for Bruce this issue? Detective Comics is lovely, character focused, and always…
Reviewing The Riddler: Year One is an interesting experience. After three years of reviewing for Batman News, I’ve tackled all kinds of books, good and bad; and each of them had their own unique challenges when I would put my thoughts on them into words. Sure, some good books were easy to write, but so…
We're back with a blast from the past (a few, actually) in this week's issue of Gilded City! This whole mini has been better than it had any right to be, especially for a video game tie-in comic, and I honestly would love to see this Narcisse/Abel/John/Wands team on a future bat-project, unhindered by any obligations…
Batman vs. Robin #5 wraps up the series with a suitable amount of heart and bombast, even if the ultimate result feels familiar. While reading the previous Lazarus Planet issues isn’t required, some may find themselves a little lost if they only stuck to this mainline series. Mark Waid’s script does a decent job of…
Let me start off this review with a correction. Tim Drake: Robin is not a mini-series and I was wrong to say that this would be the last issue of the Tim Drake: Robin saga. Honestly I’m glad that this is continuing because the next issue seems to be separate from the Moriarty stuff and…
It’s been a while since I reviewed the main Harley Quinn book. I had basically become so weary and frustrated with criticizing the glaring problems with DC’s handling of the Harley Quinn character, only to see no positive change on the horizon. No one seemed to be discussing the book anymore either, which added to…
Punchline and The Royal Flush Gang go on the offensive against Gotham's crime families. As the war in the city begins to look dire, Punchline releases an unexpected "Ace In The Hole." ba-dum-tiss! The investigation that began in issue #3 finds new legs as Ventura Freemont explores the crime scene. Even though the city moves…
Hello and welcome back to Upcoming Comics! We’re nearing the end of February and even for the year’s shortest month, this one felt like it sped past! And with the last week of the month, there are quite a few Batman comics releasing, so lets get right to looking at those! Upcoming Comics Detective Comics…
Hopefully you like your Halloween early, because this Summer DC is making its heroes' nightmares a reality. Spinning out of its Dawn of DC initiative, DC has revealed the upcoming event, Knight Terrors, will be starting in July. The event will last through August as writer Joshua Williamson (Batman, Dark Crisis, Robin, Superman) and artist…
Having just broken my collarbone (which is why this review is a day late) I must say that I have an added appreciation for solid things. Titans United: Bloodpact is an incredibly solid mini-series that delivers a captivating ending.The action in this comic is still the main draw for me after everything is said and…
Catwoman #52 is a step in the right direction for Tini Howard’s prison based arc, which features a better handle on Selina’s current mental state. Additionally, her fellow inmates are given more to do and now represent Selina’s unique moral philosophies toward thievery and the downtrodden. The subplot with Dario and Eiko Hasigawa doesn’t quite…
The previous arc was pretty dark at times, and there was a lot going on in terms of character development and story structure. Sometimes, after having concluded an arc like that, it can be nice to take a step back and tell a one-and-done story. Not only does this give Mora, the ongoing artist, a…
I think I’m getting a little tired of this series. I haven’t enjoyed any of the issues so far for various reasons, and I’m not feeling particularly excited about this one, either. But I am curious about how last month’s plot twists—Ortega deciding to start murdering people—plays out and I’m holding on to a shred…
Nightwing #101 is a ho-hum read that revisits a story thread that would have been better left dangling. In a series that is in the midst of an identity crisis, bringing demons, Lord Neron, and all sorts of supernatural imagery isn’t the best way to convince readers that there’s a coherent vision for the future.…
DCeased: War of The Undead Gods is a depressing zombie epic written by Tom Taylor. After hordes of the anti-living infect Mr. Mxyzptlk, the heroes of Earth-2 scramble to protect who they can. However, it isn't long before Erebos and his forces of darkness bring ruin to the universe. Last issue saw the horrific destruction…
Lazarus Planet finally comes back around to its main storyline. As the Lazarus storm rages on, King Fire Bull makes his move on Black Alice. All the heroes, villains, and sorcerers unite together to bring magic back to normal for the sake of the planet. Nevertheless, their combined efforts may not be enough. Nobody wants…
We're coming up on the end of this miniseries, and the various plot threads are finally starting to converge. The bat family is wrapping up their investigation of Black Mask, and Ivy has constructed her Ladies and Nonbinaries of Doom. The relationship drama between Harley, Harley's new "team", Ivy, and Ivy's ex is also finally…
Clayface is a lot of things. I don't mean that in the "he has the power to transform into different people" kind of way, but in that his character has changed dramatically since its inception. Originally, Basil Karlo didn't even have super powers; he was just an actor who wore a monster mask to kill…
Hello and welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I hope you’ve all had a good week! It’s been a really long week for me, so I’m going to keep things short and sweet this time. And without further ado, let’s take a look at what’s coming up this week! Upcoming Comics Nightwing #101 After the events…
Batman is desperate to stop the Demon's Brood and their dangerous ritual in Gotham. Just as Batman figures out what they're after, the truth turns the mystery upside down all over again. It's all just another tale of life and death in Batman The Audio Adventures #5! McNicholas continues to take his Audio Adventures…
