4 on Batman Incorporated #3 reviewGhost-Maker's Batman Inc. is a disaster spiraling out of control. The simple mission of tracking down a murderer has turned into an international mess. While readers get a reveal of the killer's origin and motives, Ghost-Maker and his team fruitlessly scramble to keep up. Firstly, this issue focuses on who Phantom-One is and why he…
Here it is folks. Likely the most significant comic book release of the year. It has been a whole 28 years since the last two crossovers and 16 years since Spawn/Batman: Inner Demons (by this same creative team) was solicited and never released. So, why are we getting a sequel now? Well, the 90s are…
So the previous issue was completely unrelated to the New York arch that we sadly have to get back to. This time we're witness to a bunch of family drama and some disturbing reminders of mass shootings. Let’s see how Batman deals with it!I’ve had lots of complaints for the New York arch and it’s…
The Batgirls have found themselves in quite the situation this month. After swapping bodies and being kidnapped by their own parents, just what are Steph and Cass going to do to get to the bottom of this whole mess? I wish I could say this issue took the Batgirls Annual and built upon it in…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Today is a very exciting week for comics, and it's been a fascinating one for DC movie news too! I wish I had the energy to talk about it more, but the jetlag from returning to Australia is killing me here. What I will say is this: I really hope James Gunn…
Batman/Joker is off to a good start. I enjoyed the first issue on all fronts but I feel it’s really here in the second that the series comes into focus. So, what’s working here? Let’s see! I was happy to see that issue two picks up the pace. The first part was very much focused…
Last month we were left with a cliffhanger as Brother Karl revealed himself to Jean-Paul as Father Valley (Check out Ram V’s excellent Catwoman run!) I have been consistently loving this book so at this point I go into each issue expecting something good. The question is, can the creative team maintain their momentum as…
Last month the JLA Watchtower was destroyed and Batman ended up floating around in space. I did not like last month’s issue, because the whole situation was too convoluted and over-the-top. This issue picks up where we left off last time, and I’m praying that the creative team can put out something good, because this…
In the last two issues of Joker, we were introduced to two people claiming to be the real Clown Prince of Crime. One of them professed to have changed his ways, wanting to do good now, while the other was one of the more vicious depictions of the Joker that we’ve seen as of late.…
I found the last issue of Poison Ivy to be a major letdown. The series went from an overall good exploration of Ivy's character to, once again, trying to straddle the line between making her a hero while maintaining her iconically evil traits. That change for Ivy came too quickly for me to buy into…
"Detective Comics" - That's the name of the company. Well technically I guess the company is named "Detective Comics Comics." Regardless, my point is that the namesake of the entire publishing line is supposed to be stories centered around detective work. Despite this, it's very rare that we get to see actual detective work play…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! For those of you who have been keeping track of my adventures, you would know I've been on a tour across the United States of America for the past two months now. I've left Australia for a couple of short trips before - but never to America, and never for…
Now this is what I want to see in a Detective Comics Annual. Gotham history? Check. Villain plots and backstory? Double check. Lost in time Batman references? So so many checks. I love it when creative teams get a chance to dive into Gotham’s history. Some of my favorite single issues, stories, and runs have…
It’s time for Batgirls to have its first annual! With more space to tell its story, and an extra issue this month, Batgirls dives deep into the lives of two of its titular Batgirls, Stephanie and Cassandra, and looks at the parents who shaped them in a very Freaky Friday kind of way. So, let’s…
Nightwing Annual: 2022 #1 delivers a trio of stories with only one of them truly being worth your time. While it’s a little odd to have Heartless’ origin in an issue some readers may skip, Taylor’s script delivers a deliciously over the top rundown of who Heartless is and how he came to be. Unfortunately,…
Geoff Johns and Mikel Janín have joined forces to create a new 12-issue JSA series. It’s something a lot of readers have been looking forward to, seeing as the JSA hasn’t gotten a lot of panel time in recent years. Personally, I’m looking forward to seeing this creative team try something new with the book,…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Holy cow. This may be the first week in my Upcoming Comics career where the site isn't reviewing over half of DC's releases!!! Have we finally broken the curse? Is DC capable of releasing things other than Batman once again? Eh. Probably not - this is just an "annual" week.…
This fortress has collapsed under its own weight. Not that it was ever particularly sturdy to begin with but at this point, it isn’t holding whatsoever. I’ve only given what I consider a positive review to one issue, so it doesn’t matter how good this latest release is, the book as a whole is not…
Batman and Scooby-Doo are back together again and this month they’re taking on Poison Ivy! My experience with the last issue was somewhat less positive than I would have hoped so I was curious to see how I would feel about this one. Let’s get into it! I’m happy to say I had a better…
The brave and the bold tales of Batman and Robin continue in this latest installment of The Audio Adventures. After revealing the importance of the scimitar, Batman tracks the Demon Head to the sewers. However, Batman shockingly discovers it has landed in the clutches of a manic Killer Croc! The intricate narrative tapestry is starting…
