8 on Suicide Squad #4 ReviewSuicide Squad #4 is here, and this time, Task Force X has to deal with a new threat: Red X! Will Amanda Waller reveal the secret of this mystery Titan's identity, or will Red X reveal some secrets of hers first? Let's dive in and find what awaits lurking in the depths. Spoiler alert: it's…
It’s the first week of a new month, so we all know what that means… A new issue of Batman. I wonder if this one will start like that last few? One page of Bruce Wayne/ Batman being tormented and tortured by Scarecrow, with Bruce saying the same heavy-handed nonsense month in and month out?…
Okay. This was bound to happen sooner or later. Justice League has managed to avoid my ire for three generally decent issues, but that wasn't going to last forever. I would have liked it to last a little longer - but alas, issue #62 is the first of Bendis and Marquez's run that I've genuinely not…
Oh no! Catwoman — or as everyone at DC comics calls her now, apparently, “Cat” (Ugh) — has been taken hostage! Will this cliffhanger from the last issue play out with any tension whatsoever? Or will it be resolved immediately? Come on ya’ll, you know what kind of comic this is. STORY Real talk: I’m…
We're at issue #4 of Crime Syndicate, and I gotta say, this mini has earned way more of my trust than I thought it would in issue #1. What started as a fun and cheesy, if a bit generic, retelling of the origin of the Justice League has become a fascinating look at Earth-3 that…
Batman/Catwoman #5 marks a moment in the series where a lack of coherent narrative thrust hinders otherwise solid sequences. Clay Mann’s art remains solid as ever, though his work with the older Selina shows some strain, but Tom King’s script finds itself wavering due to the self-imposed three-headed narrative structure. Of the three storylines here,…
Well. It's here. The final issue in the best mini I've read in a long time. The final issue. It's over. Unless... I'm just simply not going to read it. If I don't read it, the story never ends, and then they just have to keep making more issues to pad the gap between the…
DC has announced all of the titles that will be added to the DC Universe Infinite service in June. Titles range from the classic to the recent with lots to keep you entertained in the waning days of the winter. June is upon us! And DC UNIVERSE INFINITE members continue to get more DC perks…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! DC is coming out with a LOT of books this week, and as usual, most of them are Bat-related. The Adventures Continue is returning, adding to the list of comics I really should review - and a surprisingly solid run of Man-Bat is wrapping up, which I strongly encourage everyone check out…
Hugo Strange has his target locked—and his target is none other than Harley Quinn! The monstrous man behind the Monster Men has sold Gotham a bill of goods, and the next step in his nefarious plan is to nab our Harl. Will he succeed? Read the book and find out, then join me as I…
Depending on how you choose to look at it, it's a great time to be a Batman fan. No, one of the Bat titles may not be your cup of tea right now (I'm looking at you Batman.), but there are a lot of Bat-books hitting shelves to make up for that... And we're getting one more! This,…
The final issue of Batman: Black & White hits stands this week! For the most part, this has been an incredible collection of stories with fantastic art. The real question is whether or not the miniseries will go out with a bang or a whimper. Find out below! “The Second Signal” Written by Brandon Thomas…
The Suicide Squad have invaded Titans Tower! And Superboy is one of them (a choice I still find both bizarre and dumb). And I am legitimately not here for it in the slightest. There has been nearly zero character development in this series so far, and what little we’ve gotten is tied to this forced…
The previous two Batman/Superman issues are outstanding comics. On the one hand, it’s great when a creative team starts out strong. On the other hand, there lies a great challenge in this, because the team has set a high bar for themselves. Will they be able to keep up the level of quality? Let’s have…
Although I’ve critiqued this current run (which started in the Future State: Dark Detective issues) quite a bit, I do think it’s been an entertaining story. With every new issue, I’m warming up more to Tamaki’s approach to Batman, and I’m getting more invested in the story. That certainly hasn’t changed with this issue, so…
The first issue of Robin ended on a deadly cliffhanger that left me eagerly awaiting answers to a million questions. The biggest one being did Robin really die, and if so what does that mean for the book going forward? The short answer is yes. Of course. But he’s also mostly fine. On Lazarus Island…
Last month we started our journey into a delightful mash up of RWBY and the Justice League, and met most of the main cast we’ll see from here on. This month promises Weiss, a Faunus Bruce Wayne, and at last the group being reunited. Will they all work together, or is this idea just not…
It’s kind of crazy to think that the Joker-- quite possibly the most recognizable comic book villain of all time-- has had so few headlining series. Sure, he’s popped up in tons of books over the years, and has been the star of various extended arcs, miniseries, and graphic novels. But save for a brief…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Last week, I recieved some important constructive criticism about how this column was changing, and why several people took issue with it. I really appreciate hearing this kind of feedback, because it helps remind me what this job is about: recommending comics to our audience in an accessible and informative…
In many ways, it's hard to believe we're only three issues into Brian Michael Bendis' run of Justice League. I can't say I'm complaining! Reviewing two Justice League comics a month wasn't my favourite thing to do when the books were only occasionally delivering an issue I genuinely really enjoyed. That said, there are downsides to this new…
