    More Detective. More Action

    Now due to some issues at my local comic book shop i wasn't able to get the current storyline of detective comics till know. today i finally picked up all  the issues at once. i was really intrigued as i was told that this showed a more classic version of the dark knight. and that the word "detective" was in the name for good reason. i'd proud to report this is all true. 
     
    i really enjoyed batman and commissioner gordons banter as it felt like batman was really part of the police work and was deducing to solve the big issues in the....issue. but don't worry he kicks a lot of ass as well. the art is great and its a well put together read.  
     
    i dont really have to much more to write. i will say that if i knew this is the kind of batman story's i could have been reading all these years i probably would have got into comics years ago. pick this up if you like batman. its up there with batman and robin and in facts provides a good contrast to that comic.

       First of all, while the premise of the story may seem ridicules, it’s actually well executed, thanks to David Hine, Scott McDaniel and Andy Owens. Hine's writing is superb and although he is not the best Batman writer by far, he's still good. As for the art from the McDaniel/ Owens team, some may not like it, by I for one really do like it. This may partially be because some of the first comics I ever got were in the late 1990s/ early 2000s, when McDaniel/ Owens were on the title, but regardles...

      "Imposters" part 1. This is written by David Hine and drawn by Scott McDaniel(ugh!). I'm sure you noticed my disgusted "Ugh" sound, so let me explain. The art in this comic completely sucked! I mean it was just awful! Every panel seemed rushed, and to me it seemed like McDaniel's didn't care how his art looked. Once again... Ugh! The story here was pretty decent, but it wasn't great enough to overpower the crappy artist. This issue of Detective Comics was actually the first issue of this series ...
