1 on Gotham City Sirens: Unfit For Orbit #4 - ReviewGotham City Sirens is back this month and in full swing this week, as Gotham’s most capable costumed ladies are in trouble with one issue left to go. Their heist, believe it or not, has gone wrong, and the spaceship-themed nightclub they’re infiltrating has just turned out to be not themed at all but fully…
At this year's San Diego Comic-Con, writer Joshua Williamson (Superman, Robin) announced that he would be teaming up with artist Dan Mora (Justice League Unlimited, Batman/Superman: World's Finest) this November to bring us Knightfight. The story will be a tie-in to the upcoming DC K.O. event featuring all of DC's heroes going up against each…
At the DC All In: What's Next panel at San Diego Comic Con this Thursday, the creative crew present confirmed the first crossover in the Absolute Universe: Absolute Batman and Wonder Woman. Scott Snyder (Absolute Batman) confirmed this on his Instagram, with an image of the two and the caption: Hayden Sherman, notably the artist…
Breaking Me by Topic plays in the background as I write this Why is a comic like DC vs Vampires: World War V made? An intent to tell a compelling story? Doubtful, as I don’t remember too many people clamoring for a sequel after the way the last one ended. A need to cash in…
Within Batman comics there are a number of topics that get brought up pretty frequently as a way of questioning the character's core premise. I'm sure you've heard plenty of them before, if not in comics themselves then in countless fan arguments. "Why doesn't Batman kill the Joker?", "Does Batman work better alone?", etc. They're…
So this issue isn’t technically part of the main crossover and acts more as a setting up point, we felt that Jackson and I should do our due diligence and review this issue together. As always Jackson’s text will be in blue and mine will be in purple. So the epilogue to this long, long…
Welcome to From the Batman News Desk, a new series of op-eds and articles covering various aspects of Batman history. Each week one of the Batman News writers will share their thoughts on Batman characters and concepts across comics, film, television, and more. Most of the former and current Robins - Dick, Tim, and Damian…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! So far it looks like Superman is doing really well in the US, but is less popular internationally. I'm curious if this will just be a Superman specific phenomenon, or if the rest of the world is just getting hit with superhero fatigue harder in general. Either way, while maybe…

And this new vigilante, Wraith, has his own philosophy on how to handle the criminals in Gotham and will cross lines that the Caped Crusader won’t by willing to kill. As Jason tries to figure out who he…
After DC All In, the threat of Darkseid has been looming over the entire DC Universe. Fans have been speculating as to how the heroes would next challenge the menacing ruler of Apokolips before he dooms the multiverse. If anyone guessed "in a bracket-style fighting tournament where the winner goes up against Darkseid" then congratulations…
Ready, set, go! Nightwing has twenty-four hours to save the Titans Tower after a fifth dimensional event. In the previous issue, the mysterious Zanni forcibly grafts Dick's imp friend, Nite-Wing to the Tower for unknown reasons, trapping Oracle inside.

As is the case with such things, it devolves into a vicious shootout. Unfortunately, bullets may…
This October marks the first anniversary of DC's All In initiative, as well as its Absolute line. To celebrate, they've announced 2 Absolute universe one-shots, as well as pivotal issues in each of the books. The highlight of these one-shots takes the form of Absolute Evil, written by Al Ewing, with art by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Stefano Nes. The comic…
Bizarro is such a ridiculous concept. It's long been a staple in comics that superheroes have some sort of enemy that is just like them, but evil. It makes for a good "dark reflection" character conflict, as well as an easy way to give them a foe who is definitionally an even match. Bizarro takes…
With Batman captured inside the Ark M facility and Bane revealed as the monstrosity that he is, Bruce must now find a way out before he is totally broken. What this comic does more than anything else is take Batman to his lowest point in order to test his resolve in a crucible of desperation.…
So for this month instead of reviewing the latest issue of Catwoman, I get to check out Selina’s wacky adventures alongside her fellow Gotham City divas in Gotham City Sirens: Unfit for Orbit #3. Considering how DC approaches wacky most of the time, this could end up being more punishing than my regular routine… or…
There have been a lot of different Batman comics over the decades. Understandably, most of them focus on the Dark Knight himself, or his extensive "Bat-family", with stories ranging from street-level detective stories to time-hopping adventures to intergalactic journeys, and anything in between. An aspect of the Batman mythos that too often gets overlooked is…

Each week one of the Batman News writers will share their thoughts on Batman characters and concepts across comics, film, television, and more. The year is 1938. Amidst a depression and a world preparing to…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I just got back from the new Superman movie, and I figured I might as well abuse this platform to give my spoiler-free thoughts on it (you can also view our official site review here). Firstly I just want to say that the cast was phenomenal. Everyone did a great…
Well well well. After an 8 month hiatus (although I suppose technically it's just a break between 2 series), we are back in the universe of Gotham By Gaslight. If you read any of my previous reviews, you'll know that I wasn't a fan of The Kryptonian Age. So, let's see if this new series…
