23 on I Am Batman #18 reviewWhile this is technically a part three I highly recommend seeing this issue in isolation from the rest of I Am Batman. Of the seven issues I’ve reviewed for this series only one has gotten higher than a six out of ten. This issue will be joining the very very few times where I have…
This month Sholly Fisch has the opportunity to step up his game and deliver an issue that impresses me more than his last. Will he succeed? Let’s see! Okay, it's anticlimactic but I won't keep you waiting. Fisch has done it! This was another great installment in the series. Issue five is focused on some…
With last month’s silent issue leading up to a promised confrontation between the Batgirls and Cluemaster, this one only has to fill in the blanks of Stephanie’s time with her dad while Cass was searching for her. The series has been intent on creating building up an emotional confrontation between child and parent, so lets…
The Brave and the Bold is an important series for DC Comics. Over the years it has created legendary team ups such as the Justice League, Teen Titans, and Suicide Squad. First launching in 1955, it has seen a number of iterations over the years including various miniseries, a cartoon show in 2008, and even…
Lazarus Planet continues with another anthology called Dark Fate! It mostly focuses on the not-so-pretty results of the Lazarus rainfall. Although half of the tales focus on heroes we know like Huntress or The Doom Patrol, it sets up the tragic origins of newer characters. Whisper Of The Moth The first story follows Helena Bertinelli…
Alas, the evil prodigal son has Ghost-Maker and Batman Inc. where he wants them. However, the team are no closer to giving Phantom-One and his band of Batman-rejects the reckoning they deserve. Last issue I coined "Vengeance Incorporated" to describe Phantom-One's gang of failed Luthor's Batmen. In truth, while nameless, the group of murderers see…
At long last, we have arrived at the final issue of Batman: Beyond the White Knight. I came to a catharsis while reviewing this series that Sean Gordon Murphy’s world of Batman just wasn’t as good as I had originally thought. Since my realization, most of my reviews have been negative. Still, I have been…
It's always tricky to tie a new character to an established backstory. Of course, the appeal is obvious; if you're able to pull it off then you're able to intimately connect them to the existing characters and make any stories involving them that much more exciting. However, any sort of retcon like that runs the…
Hello everyone and welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This week new comic book day lands right on Valentine’s Day, and even though the comics don’t quite all line up with that theme it’s still a fun coincidence of days. Whether you celebrate Valentine’s Day or you don’t, I want to wish you a happy day…
G. Willow Wilson's Poison Ivy has been a big hit. Initially announced as a six-issue miniseries spinning out of DC's 2022 Pride event, it was quickly extended to twelve issues in August of that year. Thanks to its continuing success and popularity with fans, DC has announced that the series will continue as an ongoing.…
"It's the issue you've ALL been waiting for!" said the solicitation for today's Poison Ivy chapter. I imagine it will be, IF you are a person who never tires of seeing Poison Ivy hook up with Harley Quinn. Anyone who follows my reviews, meanwhile, will know that I’ve been quite critical of these two as…
The last time I reviewed an issue of Mathew Rosenberg’s Joker, an unintentional firestorm was started. It was over the back-up story where the Joker appeared to be pregnant after a magic spell went wrong. No, it had nothing to do with “Joker becoming transgender,” as some people tried to make it out to be.…
Batman/The Joker: The Deadly Duo is now past the halfway point and the mystery is beginning to unravel… or is it? The last issue left us with the reveal of who the villain facing Batman was but it seemed too easy to me and after reading this issue I can sense a twist coming. How…
Bruce is lost in an alternate dimension, where we’re seeing variations of familiar characters, especially from the rogues gallery, including Harvey Dent and Red Mask. The previous issue was entertaining, but the concept of this alternate version of Gotham still seems uninspired to me. Can the creative team up the ante, or is it just…
There will be no spoiler tags in this review; if you just want to know whether it's good, skip to the end. Gotham City: Year One #5 is bombshell revelation after bombshell revelation. There's no good way for me to talk about any of it without going into major spoilers, so instead of putting the…
Lazarus Planet continues to elevate underexposed characters to the forefront. The four stories in Next Evolution aims to forge new and captivating adventures for the heroes and villains of the future! The Vigil: See No Evil Jason Todd has been onto the Lazarus Resin since its discovery in Task Force Z. Despite taking place in…
Hello everyone and welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I hope you all had a great week, mine was one of the most relaxing weeks I’ve had in a long time thanks to February granting Texas just enough snow and ice to keep us in most of the week. I breezed my way through reading Naomi…
I recently had the chance to ask Chip Zdarsky some questions regarding is current run on Batman, and more specifically, Tim Drake's Toybox backup story. A lot of exciting events are happening over on Batman, and Tim is being thrust into the center of the mystery. He's always been one of the brightest minds in…
I’m not usually a fan of these various DC holiday anthologies. They often times feel like quick, low-effort work, and don’t seem to attract many readers. However, every once in a while, you might find a gem or two inside. Will there be some gems here? Will DC’s Harley Quinn Romances prove to be a…
With Black History Month right around the corner DC Power: A Celebration showcases several stories centering the experiences of black superheroes throughout DC’s multiverse. We start off this anthology of stories with a foreword by John Ridley who reflects on his love-hate relationship with superhero comics. He shares his personal passion with trying to bring…
