0 on DC: Mech #5 reviewGreen Lantern pilots Hal Jordan and John Stewart prepare with Wally West to deliver Apokolips their first offensive blow. As the heroes commit to their sacrifice, the rest of the earth puts their faith in whatever Luthor has been working on. DC: Mech #3 is mostly a Green Lantern story. As previously mentioned, John and…
After a pretty solid first issue, and a REALLY solid month of playing this game, this series is back with its second installment, and it's great! I've been really impressed with this series so far, both the game and the comic have been way better than I think anyone was expecting. I don't want to…
Alexis Kaye is still figuring out what she is capable of. In the second issue of Punchline: The Gotham Game, Punchline makes her play for the docks owned by the Yakuza. The consequence of living so dangerously puts Punchline in direct conflict with Eiko Hasigawa, Catwoman, and Batman himself. As promised, Punchline does her best…
This month we return to Detective Comics as it picks up in another movement--strain--scene? Of Gotham Overture, this time titled: Something in the Way. It’s been a while since I took a music class, and we never studied operas, so forgive my spotty memory on how best to turn the titles of this series into…
The penultimate chapter of DC Vs. Vampires has finally begun! Batgirl, Supergirl, and Green Arrow each make their final plays against the vampire horde. Unfortunately, the stakes are sky high and there is no room for failure in their final hours. I want to ask Tynion and Rosenberg the hard questions first. The status of…
Dark Crisis: The Dark Army is the next entry in the current Dark Crisis event. Here it focuses less on the major players and world ending battle happening in the main titles, to a smaller team intent on figuring out a way to stop Pariah’s Dark Army. On the whole, The Dark Army is a…
It seems as though Tim Drake has abandoned any pretense of seeking out a life that is in any way shape or form separate from his identity as Robin. While the writing seems to embrace this idea it must still finish the painfully contrived mystery narrative that is pulling the strings behind the scenes. Though…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I'm gonna level with you guys, I have zero clue what to talk about this week. I've been thinking about it for a while and just consistently drawing a blank! I've been getting into Magic: The Gathering lately, if anyone else is into that. Sure, that works! What Magic decks do…
Oh boy do I have thoughts for this one! This review is gonna be longer than usual because I have to address some problems here and, sadly, be critical of something that I still see great promise in! To recap a bit on the story, Titans United: Bloodpact takes place in a parallel world where…
Catwoman #49 is the best issue in the series to come out in a while with its solid balance of well executed action sequences and a more nuanced depiction of Selina’s current love life. While the overarching narrative continues to be muddy at best, Tini Howard’s script gives Selina her clearest sense of purpose in…
There were a few things that I liked about last month's first issue, and then there were a bunch of things that I disliked. My main critique had to do with the fact that a lot of the social criticism was rather on-the-nose instead of organically integrated in the narrative. I said that it wasn’t…
Tom Taylor cranks up the meta meter with the occasionally amusing Nightwing #98, which features the debut of Nite-Mite. Whenever a fifth dimensional imp shows up the sky’s the limit for whatever shenanigans can ensue. However, Taylor’s script spends a lot of time poking fun at reader expectations and widens the scope to address concerns…
The first two issues of the current arc have been great. The creative team is putting a lot of effort into developing David’s character, as well as fleshing out the drama that revolves around him. I’m eager to get into issue #9, so let’s just have ourselves a look! The character work continues to be…
After a particularly rocky first encounter with the One Bad Day series, I wasn't exactly hopeful for this issue. Admittedly, it's set during what might be my favorite era of Batman, starring Robin prominently, with one of my all time favorite Bat-villains as its antagonist (though that definitely didn't save Riddler), so I had no choice…
At the midway point of the story, the heroes have become unsure how to address the upcoming threat. As the Unliving Darkseid tears through the universe collecting stronger assets, the survivors sadly find it difficult to unite. I've been trying to figure out the hook of DCeased. Beyond the gratuity of bloodshed and morbid violence,…
Things are not looking up for Deathstroke's Suicide Squad! After an unexpected betrayal and the loss of their high value target, the team desperately retreats to the Flash Museum. Whether the team realizes it or not, their unexpected escape was part of Constantine's plan. Several issues ago, Constantine mentioned that Deadman will be insurance against…
If you couldn't tell by the cover, Harley Quinn: The Animated Series: Legion of Bats! continues to make Harley and Ivy's relationship the focal point of the series. This issue is exactly what it says on the tin, with about the entire first half being devoted to the two going on a shopping date together.…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics. I'm not sure what to say here, to be honest. I grew up with Batman: The Animated Series. The Arkham games defined my love for the character, and are most likely my favourite video games of all time. Kevin Conroy has been a constant voice of inspiration and comfort - there's no one…
Sorry, I will be your substitute reviewer until Nic returns! DC Comics expects readers to regard Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths as a significant story. It certainly has all the trappings of a major crisis event. Its pages tout large scale battles with heroes, villains, impossible machines, and other multiversal shenanigans. Even so, why does…
Hey folks! Matina is out, so I'll be handling the Batgirls review this week. I'll be up front, I haven't been keeping up with this book week to week, but I did some rush reading in preparation for this, so if I get something wrong, you know why. Alright, with the disclaimer out of the way,…
