5 on Suicide Squad: Get Joker #1 reviewDC’s delivers another Black Label Batman story (they should just call it Bat Label at this point), and this story is brought to you by Brian Azzarello and Alex Maleev. The lead-up to this book’s release has been an interesting one. There’s the obvious idea that this is potentially just a cash grab in an…
Well, folks…. We’ve got a James Tynion Batman issue that I enjoyed. No, hell has not frozen over. It was bound to happen (and it has happened before), but Batman #111 is probably my favorite issue that Tynion has offered up. It should also come as no surprise that there really isn’t much Batman in…
If I'm being honest, there's not much to say this week. The latest issue of Justice League Dark isn't a slow one, per se - but I find myself a little less enthralled by it than I am by previous issues thus far. That's mainly because, despite the exciting action and beautiful visuals on display,…
Previously on Justice League Infinity: in his search for meaning at the edge of the universe, Amazo broke something fundamental, causing the Superman of Earth-12 to be replaced by Overman (a.k.a. Nazi Supes). Will issue #2 keep up the goodwill established by the first? Keep reading to find out. ART While maybe not as out…
Sugar. Spice. And everything nice. These are the ingredients that were conspicuously missing from the first 4 issues of Robbie Thompson's Suicide Squad. These past two issues seem to have accidentally added all of them, as well as a good helping of... CHEMICAL (Task Force) X Or maybe just some entertaining writing, who knows? Let's take a…
I'm going to start off my review for this last issue of Crime Syndicate the way that I started off my review of the first issue: I. LOVE. Alternate. Universes. From the second this series was announced, I knew that, no matter how the actual quality turned out, I was going to have a blast. Lucky for me,…
When this book was first announced, I thought to myself, “Oh…another Joker story…” Initially, this didn’t pique my interest at all and I kind of forgot about it. Then we had to figure out who was going to review this title, and I decided to read the comic and see what this was even about,…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I feel like I have had absolutely no sleep, so I'm excited to get this out there. I just got my first dose of the COVID vaccine, and I threw up three or four times at about four in the morning. No regrets, but holy cow has it put me out…

Jock is no stranger to the world of Gotham. Besides being the penciler for books like Batman: The Black Mirror-- still widely considered to be one of Dick Grayson’s finest outings as Batman-- and the super creepy The Batman Who Laughs miniseries, Jock is a regular contributor of variant covers for various DC titles, Batman…
We all know that I was excited about this book, right? It’s no secret that Huntress is my favorite character, so naturally, I was looking forward to this issue. And, if I’m being honest, I feel like Tamaki has done a decent job with Huntress in the pages of Detective Comics, so I was curious…
Previously in Teen Titans Academy, we got another gimmicky issue! Will Teen Titans Academy #5 be any less gimmick and more, you know, story? Or even, gasp, character? In a shocking turn of events, yes, actually. Read on to find out more. ART Steven Lieber is back for another go-around with the Bat Pack and…
Almost all of my fears have been assuaged. Where Checkmate #1 was a bloated, oddly paced mess of setup and thread-hanging, the sophomore issue of this miniseries is nothing but pure character driven fun. I was absolutely worried that Bendis was going to take this new mini and use it as an outlet for more Event…
All right, folks, Reis is back on art duties! Look, I’ve been singing this book’s praises since the start of this arc, and I’m going to continue doing just that in this review. So let’s just get right into it! Of all the DC books that I’ve been reading, this one is easily the most…
The previous issue, which was also intended as the first arc’s finale, was disappointing. It didn’t feel like a true finale, but rather like a middle-of-the-road chapter, as it left too many plot threads unresolved. Hopefully this second arc will be better overall, because I want this run to be successful! This chapter is mainly…
After a rough attempt at fitting in, and an even rougher fight with Conner Hawke Damian’s found himself face to face with none other than his grandfather, Ra’s al Ghul! Just what does the Demon’s Head have in store for him, and is Damian ready to learn? Let’s see. When I say this book constantly…
Last month team RWBY and the Trinity set off on an investigation into the missing students and townspeople, there they ran into Flash and Cyborg, and we got to learn a little more about the world and its inhabitants. With more questions that need answering, the team moves forward into this month’s adventure. The story…
Legends of the Dark Knight is a series most Batman fans know and love. It’s a chance for a variety of writers and teams to step in and tell a story about their Batman. In issue #4 Stephanie Phillips gets to do just that. She takes Batman deep into a mystery set in both Gotham’s…
I confess that I—like, perhaps, many of you—assumed that Batman: Reptilian, was going to be about Killer Croc. Maybe it still will be, but I’m not so sure anymore. Nevertheless, it’s still an interesting mystery, and issue #2 builds on the suspense—the dread—of the first. So how does it look up close? Liam (not so)…
Harley, Harley, Harley. I’ve enjoyed this book for the good time it has been up to this point, but I’ve also wondered where it’s been going. I’m still not sure we have the answer, but Harley Quinn #5 does bring some of the run’s initial plot points to a sort of completion. But are the…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! So I'm ashamed to say it, but I have a confession: I hadn't read an issue of Batman in about a year. Yeah, I know, it was bad of me - but since my review of one of Tynion's issues in His Dark Designs, I just fell off the title and…
