15 Years of Coverage (2010-2025)

Last month finished bringing team RWBY and the Trinity together. Now that they’ve met, and have a shared goal, they’re splitting up again to begin investigating the strange disappearances and goings on plaguing Beacon and the other hunters. Let’s see where that investigation takes them, shall we? This issue dives right into a couple of…
Wow, this is a big week! DC's finally getting back into a rhythm after the mess that was 2020 and the AT&T merger - and while they haven't pulled me back in just yet, there's a lot of content that has my attention, if nothing else. Hey, has anyone else noticed that Aquaman's books have…
We’ve reached the penultimate chapter of the Batman/Fortnite, er, saga. Batman, Catwoman, Deathstroke, and their Fortniter allies have broken into the base of the mysterious organization that’s trapped them all in a live-die-repeat battle royale hellscape. Will they escape? (Probably not this issue.) Will they be betrayed by the obvious Judas of the group? (Absolutely.) …
Catwoman #32 takes a slight detour from the main narrative to examine Selina Kyle’s influence on those who have come in contact with her. While it’s risky to essentially slip a one-shot in the middle of a story arc, Ram V’s breakdown of Selina is captivating and guest artist Evan Cagle’s pencils are stunning. Any…
Last month Legends of the Dark Knight kicked off with the opening chapter of a story by Darick Robertson featuring Batman facing off against a very bad no good terrible night, chasing down a new gas that has a good deal of his rogues gallery interested. After busting Freeze and Penguin, Batman was left to…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I just got out of lockdown, and I gotta say, I am annoyed. I wanted to go on something of a shopping spree to celebrate getting out: I bought a Loki figure from the new show (GREAT first episode), a Flametrooper figure from the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order game... and…
Bill Willingham and Mark Buckingham’s Fables is one of the greatest comic series of all time. Full stop. Taking familiar fairy tales and having them take exile in the real world, the stories taking place in Fabletown and the Homelands had some of the richest mythology I’ve ever read in a comic, along with truly…
Six years after the previous volume was originally published, we finally get to return to the world of Batman: Earth One, with the star-studded creative team of Geoff Johns, Gary Frank, Jon Sibal, Brad Anderson, and Rob Leigh in tow. The long-awaited third volume picks up shortly after the second, as Bruce Wayne grows more…
Jim Gordon is in a rough spot. Not only is he smack in the middle of a fray between the Joker, a couple of Texan cannibals, and She-Bane — but, if The Joker #4’s meandering inner monologue is to be believed, poor Gordo is super depressed. STORY The Joker series got off to a rough…
I found out I was bisexual some time during 2018. There were signs, of course. I'm sure if you talk to enough of my friends, you'll find a few who said they kind of figured - I certainly had a few employers who thought I was flat-out gay, which was a funny conversation to have.…
So I wasn’t the biggest fan of #1. The creative team was making too many references to things that happened off-panel, and mainly because of that the first issue failed to hook me. But, since it was just the first issue, I’ve approached #2 with an optimistic mindset, hoping that things would improve. So, without…
I’ve been feeling optimistic about Tamaki’s Detective Comics run so far. The mystery at the heart of the story has been interesting and the artwork has been beyond amazing. However, Tamaki’s work has been flawed as well. Sometimes she overexplains things by relying too heavily on exposition or by adding more words than necessary. And…
It takes a special kind of book to maintain a consistent level of quality while changing writers every issue. The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries is that kind of book. This book has been nothing but Saturday morning fun, and I absolutely love it. If you have a young reader or a little one you want to get…
Last month we saw Jon and Damian save another Justice League member and got a look at their first moments in the past where they stumbled into Felix Faust and Vandal Savage. With Savage and Faust eyeing them as their ticket to the future, just how will the Super Sons be able to get out…
Batman: Urban Legends is back, and its fourth issue might have the widest range of quality so far. One story is the best installment of anything this series has seen to this point, and another almost gets there, but the other two have to settle for those words that I don’t want to have to…
Henri Ducard has been shot and left for dead! Can Batman save him, or has the world's greatest manhunter been hunted—TO DEATH!?!?! Find out in Batman: The Detective #3! Who is the detective? I have defended this book's title, comparing it to old Bogart movies, or suggesting that the detective in the title is, in fact, the…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! We have a LOT of books coming up this week, and most of them are Batman-related. Crazy how we're a website that covers only Batman content, yet we end up reviewing most of DC's publishing line! It's a very exciting week for me, because it's not all the time I…
