2 on Batman Beyond: Neo-Year #3 reviewThis series seems to have modeled itself as a cyberpunk detective thriller. The premise is built on Terry being left all on his own while the city itself is literally out to get him. With no one to turn to and no leads, he's stuck in the unenviable position of finding a way to take…
I love Poison Ivy. I think that she’s been one of Batman’s most underrated rogues for decades, with most of her stories being overlooked for some reason. It’s unfortunate because Ivy actually has some fantastic comics like the “Hothouse” story arc in Legends of the Dark Knight and the 1997 Batman: Poison Ivy one-shot, which…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Okay, so big month coming up - both personally and in the world of comics. I have a fair few reviews coming up this week, but I'm feeling quite fatigued - hopefully I have the energy to tackle all of them! Not to mention I'll be finishing a script, transcribing and…
Two original graphic novels with two vastly different takes on Batman have been announced by DC Comics, and they both sound delightful in their own ways. Next spring will see the publisher release Stuart Gibbs and Berat Peckmezci's Bruce Wayne: Not Super and Jim Benton's Fann Club: The Batman Squad, both of which are aimed…
Hey guys, and welcome back to another issue of Justice League-- No, wait. That doesn't sound right. Let me double-check something... Okay! Good, I was worried for a second. Last month was definitely the final issue of Justice League. Clearly, there must have been a printing error. Let me check the cover again. ...Weird. That's for sure the Justice…
So far I haven’t enjoyed a single Ghost-Maker story. The character can be, and has been, criticized on many fronts, a big one being that the trope of creating new characters with a connection to Bruce’s past is kind of old and boring at this point. While I absolutely agree with that criticism, for me…
Shadow War Omega #1 brings the Shadow War crossover event to a surprisingly shocking close. After a decent reveal of the big bad, the final issue allows room for a villain monologue, final battle, and subsequent consequences. While I’m sure no one saw the identity of the fake Deathstroke coming, I admit the signs were…
It's become cliché to point out how Batman's common refrain of "I work alone" is not really true at all. However, while Bruce has enough allies and adopted/biological sons to fill out about half of DC's publishing line, Catwoman herself has always genuinely been hesitant to work with or even trust others. Over time she's…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I don't have much to report this week, other than some good news. For those of you excited for Ram V's upcoming Detective Comics run, you'll be happy to know I scored an interview with him! I managed to talk to him for an hour, and we went pretty in-depth as…
When discussing great Batman comics, we often focus on particular storylines or creative teams. But what about the times in Batman's history where no matter which title you picked up off the newsstands, you're almost guaranteed to get some quality Batman content? The times when different creative teams worked on different books to different ends,…
Joshua Williamson and Paolo Pantalena continue the Shadow War story in Deathstroke Inc.'s "Revenge Never Ends." It is an appropriate subtitle for this issue. Deathstroke truly became known as the "Terminator" following the tragic death of his son Grant Wilson, and the passing of Respawn has reignited a return to form as a cold-blooded killer.…
Picking up from where we left off, Harley has a vicious confrontation with Bruce, where we get some of the backstory revealed. It seems that Bruce and Harley were married so that Harley could prevent Bruce’s sentence from being extended via “spousal privilege.” Bruce agreed to this under pressure, but then threw Harley under the…
Shadow War is well on its way to wrapping up, and Robin is a major factor in that. This issue continues the event directly after Deathstroke Inc #9 and if you haven’t read that yet, go check it out then come back here. I wish I could say this book feels like more of a…
This issue Batman’s latest mystery deepens as the Riddler’s questions fill the airwaves, and citizens all around Gotham continue to commit crimes for no apparent reason. With a few more crimes, and more unanswered questions, will Batman figure this one out, or be left floundering? The story opens on Bruce and Judge Donoven having dinner…
This is a series that started out pretty strong, but I don’t think that last month’s issue was quite as good. We are getting closer and closer to the endgame stage, so it’s about time that the creative team starts to focus on that endgame. Do they manage that in this issue? Let’s have a…
Batman: Fortress by Gary Whitta and Darick Robertson essentially poses the question “what would Batman do if the Earth was under attack and Superman was missing?” While I’m reserving judgment on whether it succeeds with this idea until we get a bit further into the series, I do have a lot to say about the…
In all honesty, I feel like Harley Quinn #15 is the worst issue I’ve read in the series so far. I’m not saying that to be hyperbolic. This is just an issue where all of my problems with the series are pushed to the front and worsened. Meanwhile, the things that I’ve liked about the…
Commencement has begun! The experimental Teen Titans Academy series concludes in its 15th and final issue. Titans usually focuses on either the teenage heroes in the DC Universe or their mature predecessors separately. Titans Academy focuses on mentorship for legacy characters. It was and remains a concept with huge potential. Titans characters old or new…
You know who I’ve never liked? Damian Wayne. Go ahead, shoot me. He’s a punk kid who thinks he’s better than everyone else, and is often times drawn with an infuriating smirk. He also happens to be the main character in this one-shot. However, as much as I dislike Damian, this comic is surprisingly a decent read.…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Nothing all that new to report. How are you guys doing? I'm starting to listen to Batman: Unburied, which I hear is really good. The opening is very strange, and I'm not sure I like it, but I'm gonna keep listening as I hear it's a very deliberate choice. Let me know…
