7 on The Joker #8 reviewLast month we learned a little more about the attack that caused Jim to be taken into custody by Interpol. The story also took a close look at Julia Pennyworth and her own investigation into Bane and Santa Prisca. Oh, and Oracle and the Batgirls were attacked by a Talon. This month, we’re promised even…
At last. Andrea Sorrentino, my favorite artist, is drawing a Batman comic! Of course he was on Joker: Killer Smile and Batman: Smile Killer before this, but the former barely had Batman in it and the latter was only a one-shot, not a series like The Imposter. The colors are done by the one and…
This title has been a mixed bag for me. The main thing that’s been bothering me is the characterization of Superman, who’s been written way out of character for the past 5 issues. Despite that, I’ve been enjoying the action beats and the solid artwork. Will this title find its footing, right before its conclusion?…
Here we are at the final issue of Challenge of the Super Sons! Jon and Damian have traveled through time, rescued the Justice League, befriended a magicians apprentice, and have so far foiled Felix Faust and Vandal Savage’s plans. Now all that’s left is for them to figure out how to save themselves from the…
For some reason, this issue kind of snuck up on me. It feels like I just reviewed the second issue, like, a week ago. Maybe it’s because I was able to read the first installment of Batman ‘89 well in advance of its publication, meaning I had plenty of time to let my final thoughts…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics (SPOOKY MONTH EDITION)! Not much to report this week, unless you count the growing hype for DC Fandome. Last year's event was a great idea and something that turned out to be an insanely successful event, so it's only natural they'd repeat it this year. The thing is, what brought…
Let’s be honest, “Fear State” is incredibly lackluster. It’s one of those “events” (I use that word loosely) that is so slow and unmotivated, that I really wish DC would just put it out of its misery. Beyond that, it’s a Batman book and event that barely has Batman in it… Which, if you’ve followed…
I owe a lot to Arkham Asylum. That can be taken in a few different ways. I owe a lot to the video game, of course - probably one of my favourite pieces of Batman media ever, and probably the game I've replayed the most times in my entire life. I also owe a lot to…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics (SPOOKY MONTH EDITION)! So, how about that Squid Game, huh? I literally heard about it yesterday, and the moment I heard about it once, it was suddenly all anyone could talk about. I just finished watching it before writing this up, and I gotta say, I see why it's so popular…
You know, there's nothing quite so existentially horrifying as hittting 23 years of age, and realizing the first thing you have to do is review an issue of Brian Michael Bendis' Justice League - which is exactly why this review is late! I'd apologize, but read this panel and then tell me you don't understand. Luckily,…
Fables was a near-perfect comic book series. Over the course of its 150 issues, spin-off series, and one-shot specials, it hardly ever hit a lull in its storytelling, with the adventures of the citizens of Fabletown escalating believably from one event and threat to the next. That's mighty impressive for any comic book, let alone…
This is truly the final issue. No more one-shots or annuals after this. The series, from issue #16 to the annual, has been absolutely incredible. It’s been fun, comedic, heartwarming, thrilling and, above all, very creative and inspired! So what about this final issue? Is it still good? Let’s have a look. Okay. Yes. Of…
For the record, I’m not a fan of “Fear State.” The reason is that, over in the main Batman comics, barely anything seems to be happening as those issues are riddled with exposition and there is hardly enough action. Seeing as the previous issue of Detective Comics wasn’t to my liking, either, I was feeling…
With everyone on the island having died at least once and the stadium set up the second phase of the tournament has started at last! This issue is sure to be packed with action, battles, and carnage, but will that be all that's in store for the characters? Or will we start to learn more…
A reptilian beast has been terrorizing Gotham's usual terrorizers, but what about the most obvious link to this nasty ne'er-do-well? What about Croc? Where's Croc? Have you seen Croc? Maybe we'll see him in Batman: Reptilian #4. Then maybe I'll talk about it. Below. I done told you It seemed obvious to me that this book…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's been a big week for comic books - and for me, considering I've had to mostly ignore them while dealing with 4 school assessments at the same time. I hear a Sandman trailer came out? Is Morpheus really being played by Chris Pratt? The big thing this week is that Fables is…
Hey everyone! Batman #113 is here, and it's got what I know everyone here has been waiting for... More exposition! Buckle up folks, because we're hacking the mainframe and going inside the Batman's brain! Memories abound! Backstories galore! What more could you want from a story? Hopefully you didn't want plot Surprise! The majority of this…
Hey guys! Welcome to the highest-scoring review I've ever given a Batman comic book. You heard me right. My boss - Andrew, for those who've been following our reviews since "the old days" - has often told the rest of the team that if you're not capable of giving a 10/10 to a comic, then…
Legends of the Dark Knight #5 is a single issue story penned by Brandon Thomas and drawn by Giannis Milonogiannis featuring a team up between Batman and Martian Manhunter as they investigate a series of crimes centered around the Martian alphabet. When I found out just what this story was about I got very excited.…
Nightwing #84 is a skippable, yet breezy enough read for long time fans. Tom Taylor’s script doesn’t spend much time addressing dangling plot threads from the main narrative, and instead dives head first into Fear State and the newfound dangers that come along with it. Robbi Rodriguez’s art is a fine enough fill-in, though the…
