Batman Li'l Gotham #3!

Batman Li’l Gotham #3 was the Valentine’s Day issue.  The first story was cute and if not for the watercolor style artwork it would have been much better.  The story highlight was seeing how many DC heroes could make guest appearances – both good guys and bad.  The joker was the star being chased by Harley Quinn.  The second story was a Robin (Bruce Wayne’s son Robin, the dead one who is currently still dead) and Katana but not the new52 Katana this was the teenage kid version.  This story was also entertaining.

Batman Li'L Gotham #1

Batman Li’L Gotham #1 was obviously meant to be a kiddy comic I only bought a copy because I was told it was a serious comic.  I am not sure the watercolor style art work would appeal to anyone but adults.  The first story is a Halloween story with lots of costumes on the street both real and imposters.  The ending was smart and entertaining but so unrealistic.  The second story is a Thanksgiving Day story and just stupid.  Seriously if you are doing a kiddy comic at least make it a good one do not make it such a mess.

Batgirl!!

Batgirl #17 - I picked this issue up by mistake I thought it was part of the Death of the Family Story line.  Technically it is not a Death of the Family Story, but it is an aftermath story.  Unfortunately it is a rather lame story.  I’m not really believing her brother is that smart or anything for that matter.  It is just lazy writing to put the hero just one step behind the villain and say “ohhh look danger”, when actually it is just the writer going “Awww she was too late to save lives now we can make her feel guilty or stupid.” I could just read the X-Men or older Spider-Man to get the same type of plot / story.  On the other hand Firebug could be interesting.

Teen Titans - Death of the Family!

Teen Titans #16 Death of the Family!  Yeah this was another issue of blah blah blah filler.  At the very least I was hoping for something interesting.  But instead we hear the self monolog while the two Robins fight.  Then oh surprise they were just trying to trick the Joker.   Only to be foiled in the end by the Joker.  I’m not even sure why the flash back to the other Titans or Raven.  I’m just glad to know this will be over soon once I am caught up

Batman!

Batman #16 (Death of the Family) while the story started strong and interesting it ended predicable.  It is kind of sad that the Joker was chaos and yet everything was just predicable as always.  Oh well.

Batman and Robin!

Batman and Robin #16 (Death of the Family) well that was interesting, but seriously how long are they going to stretch out the Robin Ah Ghul VS. Batman dynamic.  The Joker did talk just a little too much but unlike what is happening in other Death of the Family stories this ending was actually clever.

Ame-Comi Girls

Ame-Comi Girls number three features Duela Dent and even though she is the Joker of this world she has the least interesting backstory.  I was glad when the action shifted back to Batgirl and I like the new Robin.

Batman!

Detective Comics Batman continues with issue 15 and another Death in the Family Story.  I kind of liked this issue, but I had to go re-read the previous Death stories to find jar my memory about what happened last time.  It is hard to go wrong with a Clayface & Poison Ivy story line.

And I am now caught up with comics released December 5, 2012.  

Batman!

I just finished reading the latest issue of the new comic book, Batman Legends of the Dark Knight #2.  This issue had a single entertaining story.  To avoid big spoilers I am just going to say the Joker is trying to help out.
