35 on Upcoming Comics: January 25, 2022Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! A lot of DC news happened this week, and I don't know if I have the energy to cover it all extensively... so, let's put it into a series of dot points! And I think that's everything! With that in mind, here's what we've got for this week: Upcoming Comics Batman/Catwoman…
No matter your thoughts about the individual CW “Arrowverse” shows, there’s no denying they haven’t been incredibly successful. Since Arrow debuted in 2012, the universe has gone from fairly grounded street-level stories to multiverse-spanning epics, time-travel antics, and a fluffy stuffed animal that spent some time as an avatar of power. It was weird. Personally,…
Joshua Williamson will be replacing Brian Michael Bendis as Justice League writer with April 19th's issue #75... where he will end the series with the death of the world's greatest superheroes! Williamson is teaming up with artist Rafa Sandovel of The Flash to create this 48-page special, which will see the League falling in battle against…
Andy Muschietti's The Flash won't hit theaters until November, but fans eager to see the Scarlet Speedster's first feature film can pick up a tie-in comic this April! Batman, presumably based on Ben Affleck's depiction, is heavily featured in the prequel as Flash's mentor. The Dark Knight will train Flash for a fight against Girder,…
I know there’s kind of a running gag/cry for help about how many bat-books we need to cover over here at Batman News, but I can genuinely say that this is one book I have been nothing but excited for since it was announced. This is largely in part due to the incredible pitch: a…
Chip Zdarsky’s Batman: The Knight #1 hits stores this week, and I got the chance to talk with him about it! The mind behind books like Daredevil and Sex Criminals is bringing us his take on Batman, but not like you might think. Zdarsky’s take on the Dark Knight takes place at an early point in Bruce Wayne’s journey of…
Catwoman #39 gives Selina Kyle a fresh start back in Gotham City courtesy of Tini Howard and Nico Leon. Howard’s script throws a lot at the reader in this first issue as she carves a new path for Selina in Gotham, while Leon’s art strays from the noir influences of the previous run in favor…
Welcome back to the overpriced “Shadows of the Bat” event. I don’t usually focus on price point in my reviews, but seeing as you would be spending a minimum of $60.88 if you were to buy the whole event in single issues, I think it’s important to bring this to your attention, especially since the…
Nightwing #88 slows down the pace from the previous chapter of the “Get Grayson” arc, which allows Tom Taylor’s script to recalibrate the current threat Dick faces. While last month’s issue was light on plot, leaving Bruno Redondo to treat readers to a visual feast, this chapter feels more like the opening of an arc…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! This week, it looks like everyone is talking about Leslie Grace's Batgirl outfit for her HBO Max film (don't see why it doesn't get a theatrical release, but whatever.) For those who don't recall, here's the picture again! Personally, I think it looks awesome. Obviously it may look better or…
By all accounts, the world of Flashpoint has been dead. Wiped from existence way back in "The Button" storyline in Batman, this universe had a single survivor who has popped up since his own world faded away: Thomas Wayne's Batman. But what if his world isn't actually gone? That question will be answered in the…
"Represent. Always represent." These are the words that conclude I Am Batman #5, and they feel almost cathartic. Not only is it the final line in a genuinely good scene - one that actually does feel earned, to boot - but it also feels like a turning point. With these words, we're finally given a real direction…
Let me be perfectly clear: I know the risk I'm running by being excited for this book. I know what you're all going to say. Bendis' pretty good but abandoned Legion of Super-Heroes crosses over with Bendis' less than good Justice League? Absolute recipe for disaster. But yet again, as the world's premier (and only (don't call…
Another week, another chapter of the overpriced “Shadows of the Bat” event. Last week I started off my review of #1047 with a breakdown of the price point. It’s not something that I usually talk about in my reviews, but in this case I think it’s important to bring this to your attention. Here’s a…
With the first issue of Batgirls behind us, I find myself excited to see where this series is going. Issue #1 got the trio together up, and left off with the exciting introduction of some antagonists. This next issue promises to build off all that and give us even more fun than the first, so…
After a break for backstory last month, this issue gets back to the main plot by diving headfirst into the Sampson family’s motivations and exploring Jim’s fate. With a return to the present, will the momentum pick back up or will it continue to meander forward? Let’s see. It is refreshing to be back in…
And thus concludes a series that never proves its thesis. If it even has one, that is. I’m still not entirely sure what this story was supposed to be about, and what purpose it serves. It doesn’t work as an exploration of Batman and Robin’s early partnership, it doesn’t work as a coming of age…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I'm finally back from my holiday - which was a little too short, but that's how holidays always are - and I'm back for a whole new year of DC! I have some interesting plans this year, though several of them are dependent on COVID... so I guess we'll see…
Well, “Shadows of the Bat Part 1” is here, for better or for worse. Before I even start reviewing this issue there’s something we have to talk about. In the past, I didn’t really factor price points into my comic book reviews, but now that DC is pulling this stunt and I’m not sure how…
Foreword Apologies in advance for this review probably getting rambly or disjointed, everyone. I had surgery yesterday and these post-op drugs are hitting hard. I'm doing okay, and I'm looking forward to finally being free of that damn cyst. Enough about little old me, though, Let's get to the book! The Actual Review If you'd…
