7 on Upcoming Comics: October 18, 2022Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Big week for comics, and a not a lot of time for me - I'm getting on an 8-hour bus ride this afternoon. Let's get into it and see what we have for this week: Upcoming Comics Batman - One Bad Day: Penguin #1 EMPIRE’S FALL! The Penguin’s criminal enterprise…
DC's Terrors Through Time is a fright filled anthology of DC's heroes as they face off against their darkest fears, ghostly hauntings, and the perils of trick or treating. These eight tales feature a varied cast of characters, adventures, and creative teams and at least one is sure to be up your alley. The reviews…
The mystery of the Hill Ripper continues in this month’s Batgirls. Their investigation deepens as outside sources give them help and support. Additionally their relationships grow and change in their day to day lives. I mentioned this in my last review, but I feel like with this arc the story is finding a groove that…
Urban Legends is consistently one of the best books I have the pleasure of reviewing. Especially with the last few, we've been given nothing but banger after banger stories, and there's ZERO signs of slowing down here. In fact, I'm so excited about these, I can't think of a proper intro. Let's jump in. Castle Arkham: On…
So you’ve made it to the finale of “The Right Question” and maybe like me you had no idea that it was the finale even after reading it because the story was so underwhelming. If you’re following these reviews or the I Am Batman comics then chances are you were paying closer attention than me…
Batman vs. Robin #2 delivers a spectacle of exposition, clearly establishing the stakes and motivations of every character. It’s a risky endeavor, but Mahmud Asrar’s sense of style and Mark Waid’s sense of humor elevate what could have been a dry read into a thrilling, and often funny, chapter. Right from the start, Waid’s script…
As the resident Scooby Doo lover at Batman News, this book was made for me. That doesn’t mean I’m going to let it off the hook for some of its shortcomings, but regardless of quality I am grateful for its existence. So, let’s get right into it! I’d like to get my principal complaint out…
Welp. It's here. The last issue of Jurassic League. That can't be right, right? If it's the last issue, that means there's no more, and if there's no more... No. No, I won't let that happen. The cool dinosaur comic cannot end. How am I supposed to go on with no Jurassic League left to review?…
The final issue of Future: State Gotham wraps up the story lines maybe as well as one could expect, but that isn't saying much. The same problems that have plagued the series since this latest arc began continue through to the end. The plot continues to be chaotic nonsense, the characters are not well fleshed…
At long last, Grant Morrison's Batman Incorporated finally returns! This time the team is no longer under Bruce Wayne's benevolent oversight, and is now led by Batman's infamous rival Ghost-Maker. However, the new regime hasn't made any believers out of its members nor the readers yet. To make matter's worse, a highly-skilled killer targets Batman's…
DC Universe Infinite is getting an upgrade with a new tier entitled "Ultra." As of Monday, new customers will be offered a new tier when signing up for DC Universe Infinite called "Ultra." Thie new level of access will reduce the time between a print copy and digital release from six months to just 30…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! New York Comic Con is wrapping up, and I'm a little too exhausted to say anything beyond that. No thoughts this week - at least not until I get my head a little straighter. Will have a full article on the experience shortly, hope everyone else who went had a…
DC's Gotham City panel began at 10.45am: the latest update for fans about what's going on in the world of Batman. People began their Sunday morning a little drowsy, but that energy quickly resurfaced once the panel truly began. Ben Abernathy, an executive editor at DC, introduced the panelists: Frank Tieri, Meghan Fitzmartin, Ram V,…
Thursday during the “Explore the DC Multiverse” panel at New York Comic Con, DC announced the first event of 2023: Lazarus Planet. Spinning out of Mark Waid and Mahmud Asrar’s Batman vs. Robin #4 in December, Lazarus Planet will reveal what happens when the Lazarus Volcano erupts, transforming the world's population with its deadly chemicals. The heroes…
So I've finally sat down at my hotel in New York, New York. Casper and Cam are trying to order food, the rest of the Batman News team are sending their best wishes, and I'm recovering from the jet lag of three flights over thirty hours, which was delayed due to being stuck in customs.…
After being let off the hook by Commissioner Gordon at the end of James Tynion’s run (reading it doesn’t seem to be necessary if you want to pick up this series), the Joker is back in town and he’s got a new, subversive plan to announce to everyone. Most of the plot includes the Joker,…
We have now reached the halfway point of Dan Watters' stellar Sword of Azrael. Jean-Paul is still seeking the truth about the founding of the Order of St. Dumas as he tries to save Brielle Arnier from going down the same path as himself. There have been a few minor elements that I wasn’t hot…
There’s something kind of satisfying in seeing that this mini-series is almost over. I was genuinely excited after reading the first issue, cautiously optimistic after the second and since then have just been surfing on the wave of mediocrity that each subsequent issue has delivered (mediocrity being the best it could offer, I don’t even…
I’m not going to beat around the bush (pun intended), I really loved today’s chapter of Poison Ivy! It’s like all of my criticisms during the middle of this series were responded to, and G. Willow Wilson is making her turn on Poison Ivy the very best it can be. I’ll waste no time in…
While I’ve certainly had fun reading Zdarsky’s previous issues, I don’t believe that his run has been a home run so far at all. The Zur-En-Arrh stuff is pretty contrived when you really start to think about it, and at times it’s like Zdarsky is more concerned with having fun than crafting a story that…
