8 on The Great Eras of Batman Comics: 1986-1992When 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,…
I didn’t have a lot of positive things to say about the last issue of Harley Quinn. Luckily, issue #14 picks up a bit, and we have some more plot to dig into when Batwoman appears on the scene and tries to uncover the mystery of Harley's latest enemy, Verdict. Meanwhile Harley herself is in…
Harley Quinn #13 is the start of a new arc for the series, and honestly, there’s not a whole lot to this issue other than set up. Basically a new villain, obviously disguised as Harley, murders a Gotham gangster related to Carmine Falcone. The real Harley goes about her current life in Gotham City where…
The Eisner Awards have announced the nominees for the 34th Annual Eisner Awards. Leading the pack is Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo's Nightwing, which has been nominated for Best Single Issue/One-Shot, Best Continuing Series, Best Penciller/Inker or Penciller/Inker Team (Bruno Redondo), Best Cover Artist (Bruno Redondo), and Best Lettering (West Abbott). A number of other…
Starting this August, DC will be releasing a series of 64-page one-shots, each featuring a different Batman villain. The series is called Batman – One Bad Day and will feature different creative teams on each project. Some of the titles see the return of veterans like Tom King and Mitch Gerads reuniting on the Riddler…
The first two issues of this series have been fun, but not without flaws. I think that the creative team has an interesting angle and I think that the story, as it’s unfolding, is very entertaining. Clearly the creative team is trying to give us bang for our buck by packing each issue with adventure…
DC Comics announced that, as part of their One Bad Day series of Batman one-shots, Tom King will be writing The Riddler, a 64-page original graphic novel where Batman must get to the bottom of why Nygma suddenly decided to start killing people at random. Mitch Gerads, who has worked with King on many projects…
Catwoman #43 probably isn’t what most readers are expecting after Tini Howard and Nico Leon’s first arc on the series. Bengal takes over on art duties this time around and does a good job with what he’s given by Howard’s script. However, there’s such a sharp shift in tone and stakes that it almost feels…
Nightwing #92 finally has the series return its focus to Blüdhaven and Dick Grayson’s Haven project. There’s been a lack of momentum in the series’ larger narrative, but Tom Taylor’s script better manages to tell a contained story while also setting up compelling pieces with Blockbuster who has mostly stayed on the sidelines until now.…
The longer the Shadow War event continues, the less it seems like a war and the more it resembles a hunt. Shadow War centers on the death of a major Batman villain and the subsequent clash between the League of Shadows and the Secret Society of Supervillains. The four stories of the Shadow War Zone…
Every issue of this series has been about Bruce developing a different skill in his journey to becoming Batman, and the lesson of the month in Batman: The Knight #5 is espionage. While keeping the same format for 5 issues so far (and presumably for the next 5 issues as well) does start to get…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! No important news today, so I wanted to take a moment to reminisce about Neal Adams and George Pérez. I don't have anything particularly insightful to say about them - there are plenty of editorials and comments already that put their storied lives and beautiful works into some level of…

"Sometimes, less is more." That's the phrase that kept repeating in my head as I read I Am Batman #9 - and indeed, issues #7 and #8. While I went into this new arc with excitement, all three of these issues have brought the same problem with them that the book had before: try as I…
This book is about the Justice League if they were dinosaurs. That's it. Recommended if... Overall Why are you still reading this? Go buy the book. 20 copies, at least. Score: Perfect/10 DISCLAIMER: DC Comics provided Batman News with- Okay, I'm being told I have to actually talk about this? I thought you guys were…
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a massive fan of Batman: the Brave and the Bold-style team-up stories, so when I volunteered to pick up the rest of Urban Legends, I knew I was in for a good time. Though I missed out on the Batman/Question team-up that always lead to my favorite stories, there are…
Batgirls is at the end of its first arc, and what an opening story it’s been. Packed full of new locations, bad guys, and adventure the girls have been more than busy. Let’s see how all the pieces of their first puzzle come together, shall we? This issue of Batgirls pretty much picks up right…
Suicide Squad: Get Joker is a series that was created to capitalize on the release of James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. Its first issue came out back in August, 2021, and its second issue released the month after… and now, finally the last issue releases over half a year later. In all honesty, I thought…
Here we are again with another edition of Justice League vs. the Legion of Super-Heroes. When reviewing the latest issue of a series (especially a mini-series) the question that is really being asked is: “has anything changed since last month?” and in many ways the answer is "No." Issue #3 is very much in line…
If I had use a word to describe this issue, it would be "padded." The story at the heart of the issue is genuinely enjoyable, but only about half of the pages are actually about that. A not insignificant amount of this issue is from other stories. Not just recapping, but lifting entire pages from…
