    What is the Skeleton in Commissioner Gordon's Closet? 3

    Commissioner Gordon's kid is back in town. Why is this bad news for Gordon?  The Good This issue literally had me on the edge of my seat. The return of James Gordon Jr. brings new light to Commissioner Gordon. We all know he's one of the best men in Gotham but what is this skeleton he's had in his closet all these years? What is the story about his son. The two have a simple conversation in a diner but the question keeps coming up, "What did you do?" I kept trying to look ahead to catch a glimps...

    Jim and James have a long overdue talk and Dick and Tim team up to take down some smugglers.   The Good Love this Cover, it has that vintage Batman feel, very much reminds me of Morrison's Gothic run.   I'm overjoyed that Francesco Francavilla is doing art duties this issue. This guy's a one man art team and his pencils perfectly compliment Snyder's writing. The synergy between these two is electric. The chemistry between Snyder and JOCK was crazy enough, but to have that kind of dynamic with tw...

    Skeleton Cases, Part 3 0

    A spine tingling confrontation between father and son, and a team up between Batman, Dick Grayson, and Red Robin.   The Good: This book has amazing talent all around.

Snyder seems to, not only write an amazing story, but also write in it in the way that plays to the artist's strengths.   That first half of this book could possibly be some of the best dial...

    A Solid Issue 0

    Finally the Skeleton Cases arc is picking up the pace. The previous issues featured small parts of this story, but even if you did dot read them, you are good to go with this one. Well, it starts (or continues) with James Gordon Junior explaining his homecoming to his obvious irritated father while sitting at the diner. And this talk just feels awesome with James Junior joking about killing the waitress back in the men's room. Feels just like American Psycho since you are wondering about this be...

    Amazing! 0

    I've been meaning to review this book since monday so here it is. Art. The art is pretty good it fits the story well. Writing. The writing is very very good I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I haven't read the previous issue but I may have too even though it's a great jump on point. My favorite line was "Watch out there wearing sunglasses at night which means they're very very cool"-Batman.  It was cool to see Red Robin in the book. ...
