6 on Batman: The Detective #1 reviewA Batman mini written by Tom Taylor? It was a proposition I couldn't resist. Andy Kubert on pencils? I was there before the book was printed. Damian as Batman, at least as suggested by his costume and the lack of "Bruce" anywhere in the solicit? The pitch just kept getting better. But pitches are pitches,…
I cannot tell you all how delighted I am to be reviewing Challenge of the Super Sons. I’ve loved each iteration of the Super Sons series. Superboy and Robin make one of the most delightful teams I've read in comics. Which means, I was obviously devastated when Jon got aged up. I’m not kidding, I’m…
Last month’s debut issue of Batman: Urban Legends was one of my most anticipated titles to the year, at least so far. An anthology series, showcasing some great talent? Sign me up. While the first issue wasn’t bad by any means, it was a bit underwhelming, especially for a single issue with a hefty price…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics, everyone! I really appreciate everyone's comments from the last article - I got a lot of great feedback, both positive and constructive, and I really think it's gonna help turn Upcoming Comics into something fun and engaging. This time, we're adding a new section to the article, which I'm gonna…
I want to start off by saying that I’ve read a lot of Batman comics in my life. In fact, I’ve probably read most of them by this point… A number of those more than once. And… James Tynion’s Batman is probably the least enjoyable run I’ve ever read. I’m not joking. I’m not exaggerating. There…
…Oh. Um. Was that it? If I’m gonna be honest, I didn’t think this comic was ending here. I expected nine issues from Criminal Sanity, and I was unaware that its Secret Files issue contributed to that count. Going into Issue #8, I was expecting to read the penultimate issue: a prelude to a grand…
So, uh... remember last review, when I said I wanted things to get better for Kirk? I think Dave Wielgosz read that, laughed, and plunged another knife into the heart of the mannequin dressed exactly like me that he keeps by his workstation. Seriously, this guy is committed to Kirk's suffering. This book is chock-full…
Previously on The Suicide Squad: cannon fodder! This time: more of it, hopefully. The second issue of Robbie Thompson's run on the Squad picks up immediately where its predecessor left off, and boy does it take off running. Where the last issue spent time setting up the situation and stakes for our heroes(?), this book goes…
Look, up in the sky! It's a- well, it's not really a bird. A plane, maybe? No, not that either. It looks like a-- starfish? That's right, it's raining Starro, and who better to save Earth-3 than the Crime Syndicate? The sophomore issue of this book is here, and it's back in force. Admittedly, while…
They're some of the most conniving, vile masterminds on Earth. They go toe to toe against the greatest heroes in the world. Their powers and skill sets are as varied and useful as they are deadly. With the likes of Lex Luthor, Black Manta, Giganta, and Harley Quinn in their ranks, they are super villains...…
Welcome to the latest edition of Upcoming Comics! As you can see, things are gonna be a little bit different from now on. Josh has done an amazing job managing this column for so long, but he's decided to pass the torch - and I'm incredibly flattered that he trusts me with the responsibility. So,…
Batman/Catwoman #4 is mean down to the bone. No one, except the villains, likes each other and Tom King’s script offers mass murderers a sense of camaraderie our heroes seem incapable of possessing. Maybe that’s the point, I have little doubt it’s intentional, but between sloppy transitions and the detached aura the fractured narrative creates,…
DC has announced all of the titles that will be added to the DC Universe Infinite service in April. Titles range from the classic to the recent with lots to keep you entertained in the waning days of the winter. April also sees the continuation of new series Let Them Live! landing first on DC…
Ladies and gentlemen… This Upcoming Comics post will be my last. Don’t fret. I’m not leaving. I will still, very much, be part of Batman News, but it is time for me to pass the torch for a number of reasons. First and foremost, I’ve held this torch long enough. For more than six years,…
I feel I’ve made it quite clear that I’m a huge fan of Batman: Black and White. The original collection is easily one of my favorite books, and full of incredible stories and art. So, when it was announced that the concept was coming back, I was ecstatic. That excitement remained throughout the first two…
Just two days after awarding Detective Comics #1034 an impressive 8/10 review score here at Batman News, and we've already got your first look at the next chapter, coming to comic book stores and participating digital platforms April 27th, 2021... Gotham City is still feeling the effects of The Joker War, Mayor Nakano has launched…
Thus ends White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn, the series that started strong only to spin its wheels and become a drag towards the middle. Will it go out with a bang? A whimper? A labored gurgle? Let’s find out. STORY We last left Harley at a low point: the Starlet had blown up her house,…
The Teen Titans have started an academy! And I’m moderately hyped about it! Will the original Titans be up to the task of training a whole cadre of greenhorn heroes? Will we get a good mystery out of the “who is Red X” hook? Will my excitement be rewarded? Keep reading to find out. STORY…
Future State: Harley Quinn was an interesting tonal shift for its titular whack job. Sure, it was still pretty funny, but it wasn’t absurd. Of course, this was a future timeline, with a particular set of circumstances setting the stage, but I always figured that writer Stephanie Phillips was setting her own stage—that Future State…
I’ve been looking forward to this. Yang seems like a good writer, and of course Reis is one of DC’s top artists. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this, but as soon as I opened up my review copy and saw the art, I set everything aside to see what this one’s all…
