A really good taste of Batman with lots of delicious cameos. I squeed because three of my favorite Batman-related female characters are in this. I won't tell you which ones, but if you follow my DC Comics reading, you could probably guess. The artwork was beautiful and these were legitimate detectiv...
Author J. Michael Straczynski on why he wanted to overhaul Wonder Woman: This is a character that is interesting enough and compelling enough to merit being in the top twenty books at minimum...so why was she languishing? The reason, I felt, was that she'd concretized over the years, had turned in...
This was nearly a four star read for me on the strength of the story with Roy Harper and the Justice League and the truly despicable villain Prometheus. He is not only a formidable supervillain but he is also maliciously psychopathic but in a very methodical way. The Justice League underestimated hi...
For the most part, Odyssey reads like an Elseworlds story. Instead of growing up on Paradise Island, Diana and a handful of Amazons flee when she was a child, escaping from an overwhelming invasion. So her mission becomes one of vengeance instead of peace. The resulting Diana feels younger, more uns...
Dini has a really good grasp on what made TAS so awesome, and that's probably because he was the one behind it. He has a brutal, yet shy way of dealing with the darkness of Batman and it's appreciated. Sometimes it's nice to have these Morrison/Miller like tales without all of the explicit content, ...
Really liked this one for some reason.. I think it was the dark tone of the artwork, and I especially love the ending because Batman adopts Robin as his baby boy. AWWWWWWWWWWWW =]
This was a crossover event between four of the Bat-books: Batman (Grant Morrison), Detective Comics (Paul Dini), Robin (Peter Milligan), and Nightwing (Fabian Nicieza). The major ones, in other words. These guys must have had some serious plotting discussion before they went to work, because the usu...
Don't go in looking for an overarching story arc. There isn't one, and there doesn't need to be. It's simply a collection of really good Batman stories, written mostly but not entirely by Paul Dini. There's the introduction of a new Ventriloquist, a continuation of the reformed Riddler arc, a newly ...
Detective collects five issues of Detective Comics that don't really have an overlying connection, other than that they were all written by Paul Dini. Fair enough. I hear "Paul Dini" and "Batman" used together in a sentence and I'm ready to sign up. And they're (mostly) fantastic, of course.The coll...
I will say that I was a bit skeptical at first. I read Morrison's Batman and Son, and I was not very pleased with the convoluted mess of a plot it had. And yet, I find the character of Ra's intriguing enough to pick this up. This book is definitely an improvement. The storyline seems a bit tighter f...
