Batman Battle For The Cowl Commissioner Gordon #1

  Very good story that shows that Gordon can hold his own even without Batman as he takes out Mr. Freeze. Solid artwork and a good story. 3 out of 5 Batmen.

Amazing Spider-Man #588

  Another not so great issue of the book, with really rushed looking artwork by the normally solid JR JR. This was the big pay off for all the plotlines since BND and it really fell flat. The only interesting part was the last page with Norman Osborne meeting Menace and welcoming her to the family. This book needs another reboot. 1 out of 5 Spider-Villains.

LEAVE IT ON THE RACK.

         DC Comics has revealed the cover to Batman and Robin #1 the new ongoing series that will pick up after Battle for the Cowl. Featuring Art by Frank Quitely and written by Grant Morrison. No other news on the book at this time.

I came across this fun website. You can create yourself using a variety of costumes and characteristics and they give you a name for your hero. Here is what mine came up as:

Action Comics #875

  The first issue in the new direction for the title is a pretty solid one. The artwork looks very dynamic, and we find out the NIghtwing and Flamebird are on Earth to stop 6 Kryptonians that escaped the Phantom Zone. We also find out the secret ID of each Nightwing (Chris Kent) and Flamebird (Thara Ak-Var). 3 out of 5 Justice Leaguers.

The buildup from the previous two issues was wasted in the first 10 pages of the book. Onomatopoeia gets a head shot in at Batman and appears to kill him. The Joker is upset by this and states that he wanted to kill him.

Another great issue. We start with a quick interlude with Carol Ferris calling Hal Jordan’s house and getting "Cowgirl" instead. We then move to where we left off last issue with Hal Jordan becoming a Red Lantern.
