0 on Batgirls #3 reviewThe Batgirls are busy busy busy as they try to settle into their new home, and unravel the many mysteries surrounding them. Last month they made some headway on that, but were interrupted at the end by Tutor hypnotizing a crowd of people and even Stephanie! Just what is going on here? This issue continues…
And here's another chapter of “Shadows of the Bat,” the 12-issue weekly event running through Detective Comics. So far barely anything has happened in the story and it’s been a real chore keeping up with this. To make things worse, DC is also charging a lot of money for this series—if you were to buy…
At last, a book gives me a chance to really share my expertise: critiquing how a creative team chooses to represent my home state Texas. I’m kidding–mostly. It’s not often I get to see names and places I know as well as my own face in fiction, so there is some sense of ownership of…
Batman/Catwoman #10 puts its chips on the table as the story pivots from simmering tension to an all out brawl across all three of its storylines. Clay Mann’s return to art duties makes things more tactile than the past few issues, while Tom King’s script finally gets to let loose and shed much of the…
This coming April, DC Comics invite you to go back to the future in Batman Beyond: Neo-Year. The six-issue miniseries 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…
Who among us hasn't wanted to fight crime alongside Batman? Liars, that's who. It's almost a childhood rite of passage to imagine yourself teaming up with your favorite superheroes, whether it's to swing across rooftops with Spider-Man, fly through the sky with Superman, or solve the latest puzzle from the Riddler with Batman. And if…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! We are already 10% into 2022. I'm not ready to think about that, so I'm running away to England. That's not a joke, by the way - in exactly two weeks, I'm going on an impromptu visit to the UK, having a week-long trip to London to meet some friends…

Some ideas speak for themselves. They are so pure, so perfect and beautiful and obvious that when they are announced, you can't help but wonder why it wasn't attempted before. Enter: The Jurassic League. Yes, it is exactly what you think: the Justice League... as dinosaurs. That appeals to so many aspects of my personality…
“Shadows of the Bat” has been trying my patience. Not only is there barely anything happening in these issues, they’re also very expensive, to a point that you’ll end up spending at least $60.88 if you were to pick up all single issues in this event (see my intro of #1047 for a breakdown of…
Reports have come in that Brian Augustyn, long-time writer and editor, has died after suffering a stroke. Augustyn had a hand in shaping The Flash into one of the greatest and most influential comics of the 1990s. Working as editor for writer Mark Waid, the title explored concepts of legacy and heroism, fashioning Wally West…
Suicide Squad just keeps getting better. I know I keep saying it, but I’ll stop when this book does. Robbie Thompson has absolutely been crushing it on this title for a good long while now, and everything that’s been building for the past few issues comes to a head in this incredible conclusion to this…
Robins #2 is here, and boy howdy is it a book! Full of some of the art, dialogue, and storytelling I’ve ever seen, this book is, definitely! Throwing Down the Gauntlet I think the thing that’s bothering me so much about this book (aside from my previously stated gripes with the Round Robin tournament) is…
Josh Williamson has achieved a hat trick, with his third outing on Batman maintaining the quality of the previous two issues. Without trying to sound to critical, I don't know if this is going to go down as One Of The All-Time Great Runs, but I don't think it needs to either. It's just good,…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This week looks a little slower than some others - which is a nice break for me, having had a rather stressful few days. I saw the clip from The Batman (which Reeves has now uploaded in 4K!), which I personally adored. I'm a huge fan of Reeves' work on the two most…
When's the last time you really cared about the Justice League? For me, it was probably 2018, with the conclusion of No Justice shortly following Dark Nights: Metal. There was a level of momentum to that story that I adored, and it bought me enough good will to enjoy a lot of Snyder and Tynion's writing…
So far I’ve been digging Task Force Z. This series has been very entertaining, the characters have been interesting and there have been enough plot twists that make me want to read on. However, this month I find myself being a little more critical of this book, so let’s just get into it. As was…
So far I haven’t been a fan of “Shadows of the Bat.” The story is moving too slowly for my liking, and our heroes—the Bat Family—are not getting enough to do. On top of that, I strongly disagree with the price point, as picking up all single issues of this event will cost you at…
Last month Damian managed to rally the remaining fighters on the island to help him take down Mother Soul’s Lazarus demon. At last faced with Mother Soul herself, Damian was suddenly transported back into the past, right in the path of not only Mother Soul, but a younger version of his Grandfather as well! Robin…
Batman/Catwoman Special #1 is a triumph as a one-shot examining Selina Kyle’s life through the various ways she’s spent Christmas. It’s also a touching tribute to the late, great John Paul Leon who draws half the story and has the entire second half of the issue serve as a tribute for him. Meanwhile, fans of…
The Super Sons are reunited again in this Superman & Robin special. I’ve missed these boys together, and I’m especially interested to see how their dynamic holds up now that Jon is older than Damian. We’ve had a couple brief meetings between them, but at last it’s time to see them take on another adventure…
