Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! There’s an extra issue of Batman in June coming out this week. It’s not going bi-weekly or anything, but I’m pretty certain they felt the need to wrap everything up before Absolute Power hits next month. I hope you’re all ready for that to take over a bunch of DC titles for a while. I know that’s everyone’s favorite. Until then, let’s see what’s all coming out this week:
Upcoming Comics
Batman #149
“DARK PRISONS – EPILOGUE” When confronted with the totality of your life, and all the choices that led you to where you are, do you build on the ashes, or rise from them? The Batman who is left standing will have to answer this question quickly, as someone is already sifting through those ashes, with an eye toward saving the world!

Thoughts: Just in case you forgot that this storyline retroactively affected Batman’s entire career, here’s a bonus issue to remind you.

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #28
Something is destroying the fifth dimension—and if an army of evil imps can obliterate all the joy and life from an entire reality, what chance do Superman and Batman stand against it? A multitude of DC guest stars—and their fifth-dimensional counterparts—join the World’s Finest duo in a last-ditch attempt to save Earth from the ultimate darkness!

Thoughts: Is it just me, or is the bad guy on the cover just a multi-colored Judge Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Batman News Critic: Jackson
Nightwing #115
Part 2 of the Heartless saga continues! When things go up in flames, Dick must put his feelings aside and help Shelton, a.k.a. Heartless, find his butler. After all, a superhero’s job is to save everyone, even the very bad. But every noble sacrifice comes with a price, and Nightwing finds himself in a situation only someone as cunning as Heartless could’ve concocted.

Thoughts: “Hero whose butler died has to help villain find his evil butler” feels a little on the nose, but let’s see how it plays out
Batman News Critic: Aaron
Titans #12
Hell comes for Blüdhaven! With the team on the ropes and Waller to blame, Nightwing and his allies must look within for the answers to their never-ending problems. Will Raven, the demon’s daughter, lead them to salvation or to slaughter at the hands of her father, Trigon?

Thoughts: I know I’ve already pointed out that every other Raven story is about her dad taking over, but certainly making Waller behind everything makes it more original, right?

Catwoman #66
