3 on Punchline: The Gotham Game #1 reviewPerhaps we've never truly understood the real Alexis Kaye. From first appearance and beyond, Joker's so-called Punchline has stirred-up a lot of ire. Her actions put her in the center of Gotham City's trial of the century, but her victory rose her to greater infamy. Now free, Tini and Blake Howard (Catwoman, Batman: Urban Legends)…
The best laid schemes of mice and men often go awry. However, the plans of our super men and women have finally started to come together. Victory has come fairly easy for the bloodsucking regime ruling the DC Universe, but this may be the chance to meaningfully flip the script! This week in DC Vs.…
Catwoman: Lonely City has been one of the comic highlights of the year for me. Most comics, even when they're fun to read, rarely go beyond the superficial. There is a straightforward conflict, and then you get to read about the characters overcoming that conflict. This series, however, feels much more meaningful. It has a…
So, how many of our readers are D&D players? There's a certain feeling one gains the more familiar you become with the game - though this applies to any tabletop, really. The more you immerse yourself in the world you've been transported into, the more invested you become in your character you've made. Eventually, whether…
This month the action really picks up in Detective Comics as Batman races to deal with the attack on the Orgham family. The fun doesn’t stop there as old faces from this run show up again, in new and surprising ways. I’m really enjoying this run of Detective Comics by Ram V. It’s ticking away…
*Deep sigh* It seems like it was only yesterday that I completed my review for Batman: Beyond the White Knight #5, and here I already have another issue before me to deconstruct. I say “deconstruct,” because I’m at a point where I know what to expect from this universe, and it really doesn’t look like…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! So Black Adam was a bit shit, hey? I mean, I'm sure there are a few people who adored it, but... I mean, from an editing perspective alone, right? It's such a mess of a movie. The Rock has zero charisma as Teth-Adam, with the range of a toy bow…
Little known fact about me: The Penguin is one of my favourite Batman villains! I don't talk about it much, because I haven't really had much of a chance to review comics with him. He's second to Joker, if only because I'm a basic bitch - but there's a lot to love about this guy.…
The series' second arc, which started in last month’s issue, continues this week. I was a big fan of the previous installment, which introduced the new character, David, who has now stepped into the role of Boy Thunder, Superman’s sidekick. The current arc was off to a great start, but can the creative team keep…
In the last chapter of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' seminal Watchmen, there is one final conversation between two of its main characters: Ozymandias, the world's smartest man, and Doctor Manhattan, the world's only true superhuman. Before the sequels, the prequels and the crossovers with the DC Universe, this was the last word on these…
The story of Alexis Kaye is far from innocent. Not that she would ever admit it! First appearing in the early stages of James Tynion IV's Joker War event spun out of Batman #89, Punchline would join several new characters like Ghost-Maker, The Designer, Miracle Molly, and more in populating the new Gotham. Once a…
This comic can’t end soon enough. While I can’t claim it continues to get worse, staying the same is certainly bad enough. Seriously, here we are with the penultimate issue and it feels like nothing has happened. Not only in this issue but in the preceding four as well. In most cases, that would cause…
Nightwing #97 is a well executed issue that slows down the series after its bombastic climax in ”The Battle for Blüdhaven’s Heart”. The stakes are well defined, there’s simmering tension as crooked cops remain a present threat, and all the while Heartless remains hidden on the fringes. However, there’s a growing sense of safety and…
Catwoman #48 continues Selina and Valmont’s international adventure as they head to Tuscany to make a bid for Dario’s life. Nico Leon is back on art duties, bringing back the slick aesthetic of the beginning of Tini Howard’s run with mixed results. While the new setting injects some life into the series, Valmont’s love story…
This is a new miniseries that focuses on police officers in the streets rather than masked superheroes on the rooftops. At NYCC 2022, Ridley said that this book will mainly focus on social criticism, Renee’s struggles with her new position as commissioner and addiction, and that the book will be rather dark in tone. All…
After Raven had taken up the offer of shaping the world to her liking we are introduced to a whole new reality where the Church of Blood has found a new messiah and their power has become omnipresent. Tim Drake is dropped into the world as the only one to retain memories of what used…
This chapter of Tom Taylor's Undead Gods eases off the pedal and focuses on how Anti-life is developing in the wider universe. As the threat continues to grow in the background, heroes, villains, and gods prepare to face the dark forces or perish! Most of the narrative weight rests on the shoulders of three characters.…
Batman: The Knight #10 offers the big, climactic finale to a series that I'm not sure needed one. The time spent on Bruce's training abroad, in the past, has always been vaguely referenced and left with plenty of gaps. This approach is very useful to writers, since it allows them to insert whatever lesson or…
Harley's back, and she's got a new squad. Picking up right where season 3 of the show left off, Harley Quinn: The Animated Series: Legion of Bats! #1 focuses on Harley's new struggle to reconcile her heroic status with how she once thought of herself as a villain. Like the last tie-in comic series for…
All-Out War #4 continues the vampire saga with whatever bloody glory it can muster. The war finally kicks it up a notch as Constantine's "Suicide Squad" approach their quarry at the Blood Farm. Unfortunately, they need all the luck they can to survive the malicious Baron Cinder and his vampire knights. After last issue's distraction,…
