Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Weeks like this really highlight when DC launches a bunch of new titles at once. Five of the titles coming out are on their third issue or less. I suppose it makes sense given that they tend to launch in waves (often lined up with a SDCC or NYCC announcement). It certainly can make for an interesting time to be a fan, and if you\u2019re lucky, could include some soon to be favorites.<\/p>\n

Batman #2<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Injured, cuffed, and tossed in the back of a GCPD paddy wagon with a dozen uncuffed and violent criminals, Robin (Tim Drake) will have to use everything he\u2019s learned from the Dark Knight if he hopes to survive his own dark night. Will Batman arrive in time to help him, or will this mission change the way the city and the GCPD view the Dynamic Duo forever?<\/p>\n

Written By: Matt Fraction
\nArt By: Jorge Jimenez<\/p>\n

Thoughts: This is the second Batman run in a row that focused on Tim early on. I guess let\u2019s see if it actually sticks this time.<\/p>\n

Absolute Evil #1<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The emergence of superheroes has caught the attention of the world and it\u2019s certainly caught the attention of the people who run it. Ra\u2019s al Ghul, Veronica Cale, Elenore Thawne, Hector Hammond, and the mysterious \u201cJoker\u201d have worked at cross-purposes until now, but this growing threat requires new ways of thinking \u2013 and new partnerships. An insidious betrayal from within their ranks is imminent, and if they don\u2019t take action, they\u2019ll lose control of a planet that was built to be their playground! Superstars Al Ewing and Giuseppe Camuncoli join forces to kickstart the next era of Absolute Universe stories \u2013 with several shocking new character reveals, and one big unmissable twist!<\/p>\n

Written By: Al Ewing
\nArt By: Giuseppe Camuncoli<\/p>\n

Thoughts: The Absolute crossover story was inevitable, and I\u2019m a bit hesitant because I\u2019ve felt that the wildly different tones of the Absolute titles have been one of their best strengths.<\/p>\n

Gotham Academy: First Year #1<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Olive Silverlock has a problem, and it is shaped like Gotham\u2019s favorite hero: Batman. He \u201csaved\u201d her when her mom lost control and got Commissioner Gordon to pawn her off on Bruce Wayne, who promptly shuffled her off to Gotham Academy. Boarding school. With a bunch of awful rich kids! As if she wasn\u2019t traumatized enough already! How will Olive navigate her trauma as a new student? Who will she share her first kiss with? And why are the existing fans talking so much about maps? Fall in love with the fan-favorite characters all over again in this revealing prequel taking readers back to Gotham Academy! Artist Marco Ferrari joins the original team as we return to the hallowed halls for even more mystery, romance, and teen drama. Guaranteed to delight fans of the original series and introduce new readers to the lovable cast; don\u0092t miss the year it all began!<\/p>\n

Written By: Karl Kerschl, Becky Cloonan, Brenden Fletcher
\nArt By: Marco Ferrari<\/p>\n

Thoughts: I feel personally attacked by that line about fans constantly asking about Maps. Look, I know it wouldn\u2019t make sense for her to be in this since it\u2019s set before she attends the school, but maybe she could show up to visit her brother?<\/p>\n

Batman News Critic: Jackson<\/p>\n

Justice League: The Omega Act Special #1<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A special oversize prologue to DC\u2019s biggest event of the year. Everything since DC All In Special #1 has been building to this moment! Time Trapper is on the run from Darkseid\u2019s Legion. Racing through time to learn how to stop Darkseid\u2019s conquest, he witnesses how the future is already lost and the only hope of survival lies with the Justice League! The Time Trapper has a plan to save the DCU, but it means making an impossible offer to the League!<\/p>\n

Written By: Joshua Williamson
\nArt By: Yasmine Putri, Cian Tormey<\/p>\n

Thoughts: You know it\u2019s a \u201creal\u201d event when it starts getting a bunch of prologue tie-ins.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Batman News Critic: Akash<\/p>\n

Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #3<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With the crew assembled, Cheetah and Cheshire\u2019s plan kicks into high gear. The only problem? If they can\u2019t figure out how to gain access to the world\u2019s most secure facility, the heist could be off before it even begins. As team dynamics continue to evolve, it would be a shame if anything went Sideways!<\/p>\n

Written By: Greg Rucka
\nArt By: Nicola Scott<\/p>\n

Thoughts: This title is Rucka writing at his best. Easily a highlight right now.<\/p>\n

Batman News Critic: Akash<\/p>\n

Batgirl #12<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

An unexpected call from the Bat-Family brings Cass up to speed on the happenings in Gotham and pushes Batgirl to dive head first into a mystery far beyond the streets she knows. What she uncovers is anything but expected. With new allies by her side, Batgirl must lead a dangerous mission to the snowcapped peaks of the Himalayas, where a war is brewing and long-buried secrets are waiting to be unearthed. The truth won\u2019t stay hidden forever\u2026 but some answers come at a cost \u2013 especially when Nyssa al Ghul is involved.<\/p>\n

Written By: Tate Brombal
\nArt By: Takeshi Miyazawa<\/p>\n

Thoughts: The opening to this solicit almost makes it sound like Cass forgot that she was part of the Bat family because she\u2019s been busy with kung-fu abroad.<\/p>\n

Batman News Critic: Chris<\/p>\n

Poison Ivy #37<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Poison Ivy travels back to Gotham City in search of aid, only to be confronted by Batman. Turns out he\u2019s not too pleased about Ivy\u2019s whole \u201cI wound up taking over the terrorist organization I told you I\u2019d dismantle in return for you not arresting me\u201d thing. With the truce between the Bat-Family and Ivy hanging in the balance, who does Ivy have to kill in order to make it all better?<\/p>\n

Written By: G. Willow Wilson
\nArt By: Atagun Ilhan<\/p>\n

Thoughts: Between this and Batgirl, I guess everyone is heading back to Gotham this week.<\/p>\n

Batman News Critic: Jeremy<\/p>\n

Birds of Prey #26<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Trying to prevent the Shadow Army\u2019s latest plan from turning into a live-action bloodbath in a bustling Gotham, the Birds of Prey give new meaning to the word undercover as they head inside a game called The Unreality with an ally they cannot possibly trust at their side.<\/p>\n

Written By: Kelly Thompson
\nArt By: Sami Basri, Vicente Cifuentes<\/p>\n

Thoughts: Time for some 90s Matrix hijinks. To the information superhighway!<\/p>\n

Batman News Critic: Jeremy<\/p>\n

Teen Titans Go! #8<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Raven\u2019s got a problem: the only way she can save the entire Earth from becoming a playground for her demonic brothers is to win the Azarath Trials by Fire. Her human teammates aren\u2019t the greatest backup, but it all comes down to one last event. If they can scare the demons badly enough, they can save their planet. How lucky are you feeling, Earthlings?<\/p>\n

Written By: Amanda Deibert
\nArt By: Agnes Garbowska<\/p>\n

Thoughts: Oh no, the \u201cTitans only have three storylines\u201d curse is infecting TTGO too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Batman News Critic: None<\/p>\n
