15 on Batman #119 reviewFor his sophomore outing on Batman, Josh Williamson utilizes a critical storytelling tool that is all too often forgotten: pacing. This is not an issue containing constant escalation or mounting stakes. There are no left turns or revelations that make the case of the Abyss anything more than a creepy, intriguing mystery. No, this issue…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics, and Happy New Year! I’m currently on break, so don’t expect any substantial comments from me for one last week. However, I’m still here to give you the usual information! I’ll also still be checking the comments, so be sure to sound off if a particular comic has your interest…
This is definitely one of the more fun series out right now. There have been some fun twists and turns, great action, and exciting cliffhangers that will make you come back for more. Last month Jason got shot by Deadshot, and this month we’ll find out what happens next. Let’s have a look! This is…
Tamaki’s run definitely has had some cool issues/moments, but the overall quality has been inconsistent. For every solid issue, we seem to be getting one where it almost feels like Tamaki’s just kind of winging it. I think Detective Comics #1046 is a good example. Let’s have a look. Par for the course, Tamaki once more…
Hey all! Nick's still on vacation, so I'm covering Justice League for him this week! Shouldn't be too rough, I love the League! Now, let's see what we have her- Oh. Justice League: The Biggest Score Ever, Part Two (Alternatively: this issue is a comic! It's part of a comic book!) Hey, is Brian Michael Bendis…
The tournament is over, but that doesn’t mean that Damian’s battles are done. With Connor as the victor, Mother Soul has raised her Lazarus Demon and plans to set it first on the fighters, and then on the world. Just how is Damian going to get out of this one? Something I love about this…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics, and Happy Holidays! I’m currently on break, so don’t expect any substantial comments from me for the rest of the month. However, I’m still here to give you the usual information! I’ll still be checking the comments, so be sure to sound off if a particular comic has your interest…
Batman/Catwoman #9 is an intense read as Tom King’s script expertly bounces across three time periods, greatly aided by Liam Sharp’s increasingly surreal art. Each of the three storylines here are equally engaging, leading to one of the most gripping issues of the series so far. Last issue’s cliffhanger is immediately addressed as Joker betrays…
I’m a big fan of Jock’s artwork! He has a knack for both action and horror art and he pretty much always delivers. However, as much as I’ve been enjoying his art over the years, I don’t think I’ve ever read a story that is written by him. If his wordplay is just as good…
Catwoman #38 is a disappointment on almost every level. It pains me to write this, but Ram V’s Catwoman run sputters out in its endgame, leaving the door open for the next creative team without much lingering after effects to better shape the character. What should read like a victory lap, comes across as a…
Nightwing #87 features marvelous art dampened slightly by a thin story that is nonetheless tailor fit for the format of the issue. Each page is a double page spread, which are all connected to create one image if placed side by side. While this allows Bruno Redondo and colorist Adriano Lucas to flex their creative…

For the past several years, Tom King has been writing Batman in one way or the other, be it the main title, miniseries, or one-shots featuring Elmer Fudd that stand up as some of the finest Batman content the world has to offer, full stop. King's presence in the Batman world will continue in 2022,…
Robin & Batman is not a bad comic. Visually, it’s a wonder, with Dustin Nguyen’s paintbrush telling amazing stories with gorgeously illustrated characters and environments. And at this point, Jeff Lemire has proven he is an excellent writer, and he’s plotting and dialogue and consistent and engaging, never the least bit boring. And said script,…
I am Batman #4 is a comic dedicated to cleaning up plot threads and establishing a new status quo that doesn’t seem too different than what just came before. The Magistrate is in shambles, Simon Saint is behind bars, and characters spend a lot of time discussing what just happened as opposed to what happens…
This is a dark comic. Back in the day this kind of stuff was my favorite, when dark and gritty and even deconstruction was still new to me. These days, however, I prefer my superhero comics to be more fun and optimistic. That’s not to say that heroes shouldn’t have problems or that darker themes…
Reading a trade is often a different experience than picking up monthly issues. Messy cliffhangers are resolved immediately, themes are often easier to follow, and pacing issues can be largely invisible when you have six issues of content to burn through in one sitting. I had my problems with Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo’s Nightwing…
Hey everyone! ICE to see you! The holidays are here, and who better to spread some holiday cheer than everyone's favorite Batman News Authors, Cam and Matina (with a little guest appearance from Jay, of course)? Well, don't tell Nick we said anything, but no one! That's why we've teamed up to skate through what's personally…
It’s here, one of the titles I’ve been asking for almost since the moment I fell headlong into Batman comics. Batgirls! At long last we are being gifted a title featuring not one, not two, but all three Batgirls together on their very own adventure. It’s safe to say I’m very excited for this series,…
Last issue Jim Gordon once again came face to face with Joker, and learned a little more about what’s been going on behind the scenes namely how everyone in this book seems to be tied together more and more. It all culminated in quite the cliffhanger as Jim was left for dead, and Joker abducted…
