Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Forgive any technical issues over the next couple of weeks - I'm actually in my home town for a close friend's wedding! This will be the first major wedding I attend, and as a bridesman, it's a super big deal for me. I'm hoping it all goes well for them,…
DC has announced all of the titles that will be added to the DC Universe Infinite service in May. Titles range from the classic to the recent with lots to keep you entertained in the waning days of the winter. Coming this May, DC UNIVERSE INFINITE subscribers can read the first issue of Jeff Lemire’s…
We’re near the end of the current Batman: Black and White run! For the most part, I’ve really enjoyed this book. There have been some nice stories and incredible art along the way, but I do feel as though the best overall quality was front-ended to earlier issues. Will that trend continue? Find out below!…
Harley Quinn #1 was much better than I expected it to be. While writer Stephanie Phillips did a serviceable job at the Future State version of the title, it was difficult to tell—within the confines of that sandbox—how she might fare in the open-ended context of an ongoing title. So with the arrival of this week's #2,…
Issue #2 of Teen Titans Academy has dropped. Will it rekindle our (or at least my) dwindling excitement for this series? Or has the fire died? Okay, maybe it’s not that dramatic. But it’s kind of close. Magic/Adventure Academy-ish stories have been my raison d’etre the past few months (for, cough, research purposes), so I…
This is a great comic! Among the many different books on stands these days, Batman/Superman certainly stands out. While it’s too early to judge the overall quality of the current arc, seeing as this is only the second chapter and more will follow, I am totally on board for now, and I appreciate that Yang…
This is the second chapter of Tamaki’s first arc on Detective Comics. Last month’s episode was fun, even though it was mostly setup for the rest of the story. My main complaint about the previous issue was that the creative team and editors weren’t paying as much attention to detail as I would have liked.…
Of all the stories to expect out of DC Comics, seeing team RWBY and the Justice League in a crossover was not something I imagined. Am I complaining? No. I think the idea has the potential to be a ton of fun. So much so, that I could not help being intrigued enough to volunteer…
I have been unreasonably excited for Robin since its announcement. Part of me wanted to curb that enthusiasm so I wouldn't be disappointed, but come on. Damian? In a fighting tournament? Just take me back to my teenage years where I was glued to the TV watching the likes of Yu Yu Hakusho and Saint…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I've been taking everyone's Marvel recommendations from last week, and am in the middle of reading the latest Venom run. I also bought the first three issues of Eternals, which I'm pretty keen to get stuck into! Meanwhile, Mortal Kombat just released this week - and while I'm not a Mortal Kombat…
So. You want to make a Batman comic. Simple enough, right? Over the course of 80 years, Batman has become one of the most versatile characters in all of popular culture. He’s been everywhere: travelling the world, the universe and the spacetime continuum itself! Batman can be found doing anything, anywhere a creator likes. There’s…
Are you one of the legion of fans who became a DC junkie thanks to Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, and Justice League? If so, have you been longing for a return to that world, with moves like Justice League vs. the Fatal Five and comic series like Batman: The Adventures Continue…
The Batman/Fortnite crossover is among us. When I chose — Yep, totally definitely absolutely chose to. Of my own free will and stuff. Not like I was forced to review this because I’m low on the totem pole. That would be barbaric. h e l p m e — to review Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point, I…
Catwoman #30 is a set up issue, but Ram V’s script makes sure to dole out the necessary exposition with ample style. While this month’s issue lacks the sheer amount of action and stakes of the previous chapter, artist Fernando Blanco takes full advantage of the exciting moments he’s afforded and supplies more than enough…
Justice League: Prisms I remember when I started reading Scott Snyder’s Justice League, fresh off the heels of Dark Nights: Metal and No Justice. Honestly, the beginning of that book was one of the best openings to a team book I’d ever read: it established the team dynamic perfectly, set up an interesting and high-stakes…
Nightwing #79 shows that Tom Taylor understands not only what makes Dick Grayson tick but what makes him appealing to so many readers in the first place. So far, this is a very pleasant series. It has a strong community vibe and gives Blüdhaven a sense of character that has long been missing. Bruno Redondo’s…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics, everyone! [Insert hilarious 4/20 joke here.] We're still working on the poll, but everything else seems to be in order. As always, keep me posted if you have any suggestions for these posts! Currently, I just finished reading Immortal Hulk, and I think I might be in love. There's a really…
Joker (aka Jim Gordon but we can’t call it that because it wouldn’t sell) issue #2 is out, folks. The stakes are raised as new contenders for the Joker’s head enter the picture. Will Gordon’s newfound bat-resources be enough to give him the edge over these powerful new foes? Will our plot-armor-clad murder clown ever…
I think it’s safe to say that Batman having the best, most recognizable, and diverse rogues gallery isn’t exactly a controversial statement, right? Names like Joker, Catwoman, Riddler, Two-Face, and Penguin are recognizable to even the most casual members of the general audience, and Bane, Ra’s al Ghul, Scarecrow, Killer Croc, and even Polka-Dot Man…
What's new, gang? Oh, me? Nothing much, just experiencing the joys of childhood again. That's right, Batman & Scooby-Doo are back, and while there's regrettably (?) no Bat-Milk this time around, there's wacky shenanigans aplenty for all who should want them. I grew up with Scooby-Doo, and I can't count the number of times I…
