21 on Gotham City becomes a “Fear State” in a Batman comics crossover event starting this FallThis fall, a new event will come to the Bat-titles, and things are going to get spooky. Scary, even, as the Scarecrow lets loose his plan to control Gotham City through the power of fear in the event that’s titled, appropriately, “Fear State.” I mean, if you have a gimmick, commit to it, right? What’s…
The title fight is here! Batman is going to V the ever-loving bejesus out of Snake Eyes. Right? Right!? I’m sure at least a couple people out there are pumped about it. As for myself, if this fight is even a little fun, I’ll forgive DC for letting Donald Mustard, my enemy, illustrate a Batman…
Nightwing #80 is the strongest issue so far in this run since it actually has some form of forward momentum. I haven’t been in love with the series as most so far, but I had a feeling my patience would be rewarded and this month’s issue largely satisfies. Tom Taylor’s script turns the screws in…
Catwoman #31 brings the series back to a heist oriented storyline, but Ram V’s script delivers these familiar goods in a stylish package. Fernando Blanco is allowed to stretch his comedic muscles more than usual, whether it be through taking jabs at high society or the sly glances Selina exchanges with her allies right before…
In following DC’s latest trend of relaunching popular titles, they’ve once again started publishing Legends of the Dark Knight. I haven’t had the opportunity to read a ton of the original run, or the previous digital first one, but I do love the idea of an anthology series that gives writers a little more time…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! [EDIT: I've been recieving some feedback about the direction of the column, and I'm going to try changing some things back to Josh's style! I'd appreciate hearing about specific elements you liked from Josh, as well as if you have anything in particular from this version you'd like to stay.]…
Someone is killing the people Batman saved. The Dark Knight is on the trail, but can he get track down the murderous mastermind before anyone else dies? Answers await in Batman: The Detective #2. What is a detective story? I caught flak—albeit gentle flak—in the comments of my review for #1, presumably because I contended that Taylor…
We’ve got DC Comics Festival of Heroes: The Asian Superhero Celebration! I was pretty excited heading into this because I knew it would spotlight some of my favorite characters – I’m looking at you Cass, Tatsu, Emiko, and New Super-Man – and it would tap Asian creators to bring these stories to life. It seemed…
In the not-so-distant Future State, Gotham has changed. An oppressive figure known as the Magistrate has banned all vigilantes from active duty. Of course, none of Gotham's crime fighters actually stopped, so now the Magistrate is cracking down on these criminal scum. And who better to bring in the Bat-family than the Red Hood, mercenary…
Mystery Inc. reunites with the Dynamic Duo for the second installment of this series, and the problem is bigger than ever: there's a ghost in the Batcave! Can Batman, Robin, and the gang spook the spectre out of their subterranean space? Let's find out! As is the practice with this book, since the print books…
Stop me if you’ve heard this one. A clown walks into a room, shoots some poor policeman’s daughter in the spine, and then kidnaps and tortures him. What? That’s a famous Joker story? You don’t say? I had no idea, truly. Good thing James Tynion’s here to remind me with an exposition-dump of a monologue…
This book doesn’t start off like a typical Justice League adventure. The tone is rather grim, and there’s conflict within the League. I think as a first issue, it’s successful in setting up the plot and the status quo. But, even though all these pieces are in-place so the creative team can get the story…
Last month we joined Robin and Superboy on a new adventure as they began a race against time to save the Justice League from the curse of the doom scroll! Between all that we had time travel shenanigans and the boys being their usual charming selves. Can they keep up the momentum this month? Let’s…
Batman: Urban Legends #3 is fine. All the way through. In my entire time reading it, my feelings didn’t waver strongly one way over the other. I liked some things, disliked others, but didn’t really move far past “that was still okay” either way. The ongoing stories? Yeah, they’re fine. The new one-and-done chapter? Yep,…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I'm just now settling back in after coming home from a wedding - and oh my god, what a day that was. Up at 5am, asleep at 2am, the whole day was hectic - and a fantastic celebration of love. It got me thinking about weddings in comics, which have ranged…
Batman’s been Memento’d! He has only the fragmented messages he leaves himself every twenty two minutes and his analytical mind to solve the mystery that is Fortnite! Will he be able to solve it? (Yes.) Or will his feelings for this mysterious woman dressed like a cat hold him back? (No.) Let’s hop in and…
Last we left Task Force X, they'd successfully(?) broken Talon out of prison, and were gearing up to go after Bolt, a new speedster on the block. Will they succeed? What perils await them along their journey? More importantly, will we see Peacemaker get his after last issue's altercation? Let's find out, shall we? The…
It's been three issues since we first saw the star-shaped alien invaders of Earth-3, and things have never looked worse for our heroes(?) than last we left them. The entire world's metahuman population is bearing down on them, and their only plan is coming from a terrifying urban legend holding a tentacle and a glowing…
It's the penultimate issue of Man-Bat and, uh, well... it's beautiful. This story can only be described with one word: kickass. Everything has been building for a long time, and the payoff begins in this book. I literally cannot figure out how to stop gushing about this, so let's just dive into this. The Writing…
Believe it or not, I actually enjoyed this issue of Batman. It’s far from perfect. Hell, it’s far from great. But… Miracle Molly might be the best character that Tynion has created during his run on Batman. Unfortunately, this book feels like anything but a Batman book. There are currently a lot of moving parts…
