12 on Upcoming Comics: April 26, 2022Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Well, this is the week we've been waiting for - and by "we", I mean "no one, really". I have seen next to no hype for The Death of the Justice League - but I HAVE read the book, and plan to get a review up sooner rather than later. You…
Batman: The Knight #4 continues Bruce’s journey around the world, this time to the mountains of North Korea to learn hidden martial arts techniques from a reclusive master. Zdarsky once again delivers a fun and engaging look at the years that Bruce spent training before he ever put on the cowl, with a look into…
The third installment of Sean Murphy's trilogy jumps decades into the future to see what kind of world Bruce Wayne left behind after abandoning the caped crusade against crime in Batman: Curse of the White Knight. Batman has finally shown the world his alter ego, his human counterpart, and is then sent straight to jail…
Last month’s issue #1 was pretty good, and especially Mora and Bonvillain’s art was incredible. The writing rambled a little bit, though, even if it was solid for the most part. Either way, the creative team can take the story in several directions after their first issue, so hopefully it will stay good. Let’s have…
Nightwing #91 is a strong conclusion to the somewhat unfocused “Get Grayson” era of the series. Since Fear State, a Superman: Son of Kal El crossover, and now a Flash team-up arc have slowed the momentum of the series, the core narrative of Nightwing has been about various assassins trying to kill Dick Grayson. Thankfully,…
Catwoman #42 delivers a satisfying conclusion for Tini Howard and Nico Leon’s first arc in the series. While Howard’s tendency to put theme first above logic rears its head, the emotional beats do their best to smooth over any narrative contrivances. Meanwhile, Leon’s work maintains its slick aesthetic even if some of the action choreography…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I've spent, like, a solid day trying to think of a decent intro, and I got nothing. I love comics! You guys love comics? Oh, one thing I should do is give you guys a movie recommendation. Everything Everywhere All At Once is a phenomenal movie that does everything a multiverse…
Beginning with July 26's Detective Comics #1062, writer Ram V and artist Rafael Albuquerque will become the new creative team heading Batman's original and longest-running comic. V and Albuquerque are experienced creators having already spent plenty of time in the world of Batman. V is known for Catwoman, Batman: Urban Legends and Justice League Dark, and Albuquerque illustrated many…
It's 2011, and DC needs a fresh start. Flashpoint, written by Geoff Johns, is released. This event is a company-wide movement, propelling DC into a new, rebooted universe with the New 52. The New 52 recieved great commercial acclaim - but mixed critical and fan reception, to say the least. Four years later, DC would…
My excitement over Batgirls seems to be dwindling with every issue I pick up. Five issues in and I feel like the plot is in roughly the same place it was at the very start, which doesn't make for a very exciting story. The Batgirls are still fighting the same set of villains they were…
Questions are answered in Tom King and Clay Mann’s Batman/Catwoman #11, though many readers will find the resolutions to be lacking. King’s scripts have kept the reader at a distance in many ways. Between his non-linear narrative and the time skips between issues, it’s no surprise that when the pieces finally fall into place it…
Much will be made of the delays to Batman '89 #5 in many reviews being published today, I'm sure. It's hard to talk about the issue without at least mentioning it, really, which is clearly evidenced by the fact that this is how I'm starting off my own review. I don't remember when this issue…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I trust every one of you has gone to see Morbius - known to many as the greatest film of all time. The #MorbiusSweep has been taking the world by storm, and I hear that it will soon be the first film to ever sell one trillion tickets. Amazing stuff!…
Following the events that take place in Batwoman, the CW show, the heroes square off against Clayface, try to balance work with romance and bring Batwoman’s chosen family back together. Wayne enterprise is no longer in service to the Bat family but that doesn’t stop Batwoman and the gang from fighting crime and…
Following the fourth season of Young Justice: Phantoms, DC has announced a new comic mini-series titled Young Justice: Targets written by Showrunner Greg Weisman with Art by Storyboard Artist Christopher Jones! Fans will be delighted to learn that this series is set to take up the reins of the show by following up events of…
DC comics and WEBTOON have just announced an expansion to their partnership that started last September with Batman: Wayne Family Adventures. They will be releasing three new titles within the DC Universe starting with Vixen: NYC, and followed by Red Hood: Outlaws, and Zatanna & The Ripper. It’s no secret that Wayne Family Adventures is…
Just like last month, Matina and I will be teaming up to review Batman: Killing Time #2. We weren’t too impressed with the first issue of this series, but neither of us thought it was necessarily bad, either. The first issue set up a mystery, a heist and an adventure and, if anything, I was…
“Shadow War” isn’t a crossover that I’ve been looking forward to. As I’ve explained in my Shadow War: Alpha review, I think that the premise just doesn’t work, because Ra’s' character development is being forced and rushed for the sake of a plot point. When the premise doesn’t work, the rest of the story usually…
Welcome back to the future. Batman Beyond: Neo-Year is a new six-issue miniseries that spins out of Batman: Urban Legends #7, where the entire world of Terry McGinnis and his home of Neo Gotham was shaken up. Bruce Wayne died, Wayne Manor burned to the ground, and the entire city became sentient and set its…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Alright, I gotta ask: who else here has been obsessed with Elden Ring????? I mean, holy crap! This might be one of the greatest (and worst) games I've ever played - I finished the game a couple of days ago, and keep finding reasons to pick it back up despite swearing I…
