3 on The Joker #13 reviewNow that we know who is behind A-day and everyone has arrived in Texas, it’s surely time for some answers regarding everything that’s been going on in Joker up until this point right? Right? In the fashion typical of Joker this issue does not pick up on Bane, Jim, or any of the characters it…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I'm a little exhausted this week, so today's entry will be pretty basic. I've had two huge things come out over the past few days: my article about the Papa Johns Chicken Wings was stupid as hell, but one of my favourite things I've ever had the pleasure of writing…
The third and final act of “Shadows of the Bat” begins here. To those that came in late, you haven’t missed much, because so far we’ve only gotten the bare minimum of plot progression throughout the event. Hopefully that changes now that we’re getting closer to the conclusion, but I’m not feeling optimistic. And it…
I love heists, the Riddler, and a good old fashioned villain team up so of course I was going to at least check out Tom King’s newest mini-series, Killing Time. Focused on Batman’s early days, the story revolves around Riddler, Catwoman, and Penguin teaming up to participate in the heist of the century! And I…
When I first saw the cover for this issue a few months back, I braced myself to go on a tirade. Ghost-Maker? Really? I thought we were done with that guy. I'd hoped we were done with that guy. But no, there he is, right on the cover with Batman. Always striving to be as…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Despite everything going on with comics... and, you know, the world... I am having a fantastic time in London. It's hard to describe everything I've been doing succinctly, but next Upcoming Comics will have a more lengthy recap. The important news is, expect some very cool articles when I'm back, including a…
One thing that Task Force Z has been doing well is juggling fun with poignancy without having those two elements clash. It’s also a book that consistently keeps the energy high and that keeps the plot moving. There’s always something going on in this story, and that’s more than I can say about certain other…
This is the last chapter of the second act of “Shadows of the Bat.” So far, barely anything interesting has happened in the story. It’s also a very expensive series. If you were to buy every single issue of this event, you will spend at least $60.88 (see my brief breakdown of the price point…
With the Lazarus Tournament over, and Mother Soul outmatched there isn't much left to do but wrap up the loose threads hanging around Robin and the rest of the tournament fighters. And what better way to do that than with a family reunion and party? Robin is one of those books that I love to…
Catwoman #40 is a step in the right direction after a shaky start to Tini Howard’s and Nico Leon’s tenure on the series. While Howard’s scripts have a tendency to be heavy on narration, the balance between exposition and action is much more even this time around, letting the series grow into itself as pieces…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This week, we... we... Ugh. I don't know if I can do this. You guys see what happened to ComiXology? I made a Twitter thread about it, for those not in the know: To recap for people who don't use Twitter (or aren't checking the website itself), the ComiXology browser…
DC Comics have announced that Batman, Inc. will return, which is cool. I'm all about Batman, Inc. However, rather than Batman or one of his long-established allies heading up the team, Ghost-Maker will be their leader. Ghost-Maker, who was introduced not two years ago, is the trusted head of Batman, Inc., as personally chosen by…
You know, realistically I should be grateful for this arc. Contrary to what I expected, this was not a continuation of the story told in the Justice League Dark backups: a story which, while I loved, ended on a cliffhanger that currently has no planned resolution. Bendis seems to almost completely ignore that - instead focusing…
Nightwing #89 spins a rote murder mystery that serves only to distract from the more engaging moments between Dick Grayson and Jon Kent. This issue reads more like a Tom Taylor greatest hits, built for fans of his recent work before fans of Nightwing himself. Bruno Redondo turns in excellent work as per usual, but…
It's a major bummer when, even though there's an overwhelming majority of Bat-books over at DC right now, there's only one that our team is consistently excited about. It's a major win, however, when I get to review that book. Let's talk about Batman: The Knight #2 Nick took my "who was in Paris" joke so…
“Shadows of the Bat” is on a downward spiral. With each issue, the quality seems to drop further, and it wasn’t that great to begin with. It’s also overpriced—you’d end up spending a minimum of $60.88 if you were to pick up every single issue of this event, and that’s just the cover price (see…
Hey, remember when this was gonna be a book about the Robins getting together, sitting down, and talking about whether or not being Robin was good for them? Haha, yeah. Me too. Anyways, I don't really have anything to say about this other than I am disappointed I will give Tim Seeley credit in…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Unfortunately, I have to make this entry rather quickly. I've been working a ton of shifts lately, and I'm getting ready to go on my England trip. Fortunately, this is a shockingly small week! Let's dive right in. Upcoming Comics Batman: The Knight #2 Bruce Wayne’s journey toward becoming the…
Okay, now this is more like it! I'm going to try and make this review as snappy and to-the-point as possible. In short, while I had my doubts about Jace Fox's move to New York, this is a very good first issue in his new arc: and sets the stage for what could be Jace's first…
Robins #3 is another book in a thankfully short series that dives farther and farther into exactly where I don't want it to go. I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall at this point, but can we please stop having every Batman book involve a secret plot that no one has ever…
