Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! I’m sure many of you are completely sick of hearing about how hot it is outside recently, well strap in because I’m gonna whine about it too. Pushing up against triple digit temperatures every day for a week is not OK. The other day when I needed to do some digging out in the yard, I came back looking like someone had just pushed me in a pool (I wish). At a certain point our need to stop climate change is going to driven not by the sake of the planet’s ecosystem or the millions who will be displaced, but the fact that it’s ruining my personal comfort. Luckily we can mostly stay inside and read comics.

Detective Comics #1086
An unexpected villain has made an appearance in Gotham, trailing chaos, destruction, and horror in their wake.

Thoughts: We almost made it to the end, but I guess this series was never going to get away with not including Joker in some way.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold #14
Nightwing and Deadman continue their rail-ridin’ odyssey and find themselves face-to-face with a terrifying new foe. Booster Gold’s adventures across time and space have delivered him to an alternate future inhabited by dinosaurs—but this alternate reality needs protectors, and it has them in the form of the all new, all-different Jurassic League! In the finale of “The Poison Within,” Artemis’s attempts to return home are blocked by the anti-Amazon agents of AXE! Batman and Guy Gardner delve into a realm of high strangeness that is truly out of this world as they confront the grey alien that has crash-landed in Gotham. And last, but far from least, Hayden Sherman dazzles with a brand-new Batman Black & White story that needs to be seen to be believed.
Written By: Tim Seeley, Mark Russell, Cavan Scott, Joshua Hale Fialkov
Penciled By: Kelley Jones, Jon Mikel, Travis Mercer, Lisandro Estherren
Inks By: Kelley Jones, Jon Mikel, Travis Mercer, Lisandro Estherren, Hayden Sherman
Colors By: Michelle Madsen, Patricio Angel, Mike Spicer, Andrew Dalhouse
Cover By: Simone Di Meo
Thoughts: Hey, the Jurassic League is back! Certainly a shift in tone away from the slasher movie Joker that started this series.
Batman News Critic: Chris
The Penguin #11
The Penguin’s malicious plan for Gotham has finally been enacted. There will be blood. There will be terror. There will be a power grab the likes of which the city has never seen. Words simply cannot do justice to what’s to come. You need to read it to believe it.
Written By: Tom King
Penciled By: Rafael de Latorre
Inks By: Rafael de Latorre
Colors By: Marcelo Maiolo
Cover By: Carmine Di Giandomenico
Thoughts: Whatever malicious plan Penguin has will probably just get lost in the shuffle between the two totally separate villains that have taken over Gotham at the same time in the pages of Batman and Detective Comics.

Harley Quinn #41
