2 on Batman: The Knight #6 reviewIt wouldn't be a training montage without learning from a retired special ops agent deep in the snowy wilderness, now would it? This month's lesson is less about teaching Bruce a specific skill that he'll need to be Batman, (I don't know if I remember too many times I saw the caped crusader take out…
Dark Crisis: Young Justice is a tie-in miniseries to the current event plaguing the DC universe (Check out Nick's first Dark Crisis review here). Wile the main event focuses on a range of different characters, this mini puts focus specifically on the Young Justice characters and shows how they deal with the death of their…
As part of a recent auction for comic books and original artwork at Heritage Auctions, the cover of the first issue of The Dark Knight Returns, penciled by Frank Miller and colored by Lynn Varley, sold for $2.4 million. This is the most expensive Batman-related comic media ever sold to date, beating out the previous…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It wasn't that long ago that I was here, mourning the loss of Neal Adams and George Pérez - so it's especially heartbreaking that I now must do the same with Tim Sale. I have the utmost respect for the first two artists, but it was Sale's work that I…
Reports are coming in that artist Tim Sale has died. Jim Lee recently reported via Twitter that Sale had been admitted to the hospital, but no other details were made available. Now, his personal Twitter account has announced that he has passed away. Sale had a long, acclaimed career in the comics industry, with some…
It's been over a decade since Tim Drake has had a solo series of his own, but that all changes on September 27th. Writer Meghan Fitzmartin will continue the story she began in the pages of Batman: Urban Legends and DC Pride: Tim Drake Special with the all new series Tim Drake: Robin. Drawn by…
Empire State of Mind (More like Empire State of Mild, heyo!) reaches its conclusion - and I'm as thoroughly whelmed as ever! Not much else to say, so let's just get into it. With Manray slaughtering his way across the elites of New York City, the mayor is the next on his hitlist. It's up…
Question for you readers at home. What's better than the Justice League but instead of people they're dinosaurs? Trick question. It's absolutely nothing. Anyone who answered anything other than absolutely nothing is wrong and hates fun. Okay, okay. I'm kidding. Kind of. Not really. But kind of. I will not stop fanboying over this book…
This week's issue of Urban Legends wraps up all of our ongoing stories so far. This series has been a little rocky since its inception, but I think this particular issue is an extremely satisfying one considering the amount of middle-of-the-story fragments we've had so far. Batman and Zatanna in "Bound to Our Will: Part 6" …
Now that Batgirls has wrapped up its first arc, the story is moving forward at a steady pace into its next one. Last issue ended with Seer literally knocking at the girls' door, one of their enemies having come straight to them. Will they hear out her plea for help, or send her packing? Already…
Future State: Gotham is having a bit of an identity crisis, and I'm not just talking about the multiple Batmans (Batmen?) running around. When the series started out, it was mainly focused on Red Hood - I mean Peacekeeper Red - taking down renegade vigilantes as part of Gotham's new police force. That was a…
The DC Pride: Tim Drake Special is a collection of all the character’s recent stories featured in Urban Legends along with one new tale. Between them all we see Tim discover his sexual identity, reveal it to Batman, and make peace with his old girlfriend. Is it worth picking up? Let’s see! I want to quickly…
The first issue of Multiversity: Teen Justice picks up on an idea that was sort of introduced in Grant Morrison’s Multiversity. In Earth-11 the “Amazonians of Themyscira imposed their law on the whole world and changed it forever… inspiring generations of women to take the lead in creating the future.” We follow Teen Justice as…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Amazon is attempting to get better at implementing comics back into its site - but in the process, has only made it worse. I now can barely load the solicits for comics at all, with it often coming up with this error message: So, if my solicit info is inaccurate…
Look who’s back! Back again! Joshie’s back! Tell a friend! Ok, ok. I’ll drop my Slim Shady act. Seriously though, I’m just stepping in because my good friend, Nick, is a little under the weather, already has a lot on his plate, and he needed a tag-team partner this week… It just so happens that…
Alright, credit where it's due: this issue was great! No disclaimer, no "if"s or "but"s, no overarching concerns - I just straight up had a good time with this book, and I'm glad that I did. Let's get right to it and jump into this review! This issue, Thomas is searching for more clues as…
You know, it's funny. I've spent so much time discussing Dark Crisis in my reviews leading up to it... that by the time the event has actually arrived, I feel like I have nothing more to say. I think the book's content - or lack thereof - speaks for itself. Dark Crisis #1 sets the stage…
So far I’ve had mixed feelings about Batman: Killing Time. I think the series has been doing some things really well, and in other areas it’s lacking in quality. That said, as the series goes on I find that I’m getting more and more invested in this story. That doesn’t mean that I’m completely onboard…
“Shadow War” is over. For Aaron’s thoughts on the conclusion, see his review of Shadow War: Omega #1. Personally, I wasn’t really into it, and I hope we’re done with crossovers for a while. However, this issue isn’t connected to “Shadow War.” It’s a one-shot to close out Williamson’s Batman run, involving Abyss. Let’s have…
In the Knights of Steel universe, the Batman is an emissary of the El Kingdom, caught in the middle of a long prophesied war. Unlike most of the other issues in the series thus far, Dark Knights of Steel #7 focuses more on a developing side plot about demons and magic. Issue #7 picks up…
