The TBP or trade paperback review of issues 37 38 39 40 41 42 of the Superman/Batman: Torment is fairly well perceived in the story format and is quite an interesting read. The story is reasonably decent and the anguish portrayed is good to read. It was, in fact, a pleasure to read the torment editions.
The art by Dustin Nguyen is remarkable as always. The super hero who actually seems to be in torment in the story is Superman. On the other hand, Batman is more into action than anything else.
The Batman – Conspiracy from DC comics is a set of two creative and interesting story lines. These are some of the popular stories published long back, the detective 821 and the Legends of the Dark Knight 86 – 88. These two stories have peculiar feel of detective and suspense coming from the popular and one of the best comic book artist, J. H. Williams III.
He is the artist that gave the best depiction to some of the best writers and their stories by artistically telling the story. He is the master of his subject and knows where to place what to bring out the best in the stories.
If you are getting nostalgic about “Final Crisis” and “Batman R.I.P”, don’t worry, it is only natural that you feel that way. When Grant Morrison recently published the twin issue of Batman (flash back), I felt this is the end of Batman at the hands of the Darkseid. The latest issue of Batman/Darkseid takes us right back to the period where Morrison begins the end of Batman.
Judd Winick has done a pretty good job with this story although he had a lot of handicaps to deal with. The topic is such that, no matter how hard one tries, it is difficult to stop it from being predictable. We already know what course it would take at the end as Dick Grayson takes up the role of Batman.
Batman Confidential is quite similar to Spider Man-Fever, where a distinctive artist does a distinctive take on two corporate characters. Sam Kieth’s portrayal of Batman and Gordon is quite interesting and they barely look or act like the characters that we have seen in other issues. But the fact that it isn’t a continuity series, it doesn’t really matter if the characters are different as this a unique portrayal of Gotham city by Sam Keith.
Recently the Batman series’ latest issue “Streets of Gotham” Volume 12 has had a lot of issues. But, in spite of these off the scene issues the latest from the Batman series is fairly entertaining. Dini, Fridolfs and Nguyen succeed in giving us a great experience, thanks largely to Carpenter. The carpenter portrays a villain and is perfect for exploration and that is what they have given as she gets solo and inks a deal with a new client.
This issue of the Batman series has the feel of the old fashioned superhero stories. It is full of thrills and excitement with clues that threaten to unmask the mysterious villain. The story is filled with right amount of humor and you would certainly enjoy reading it.
This issue of the Batman would probably see Judd Winick conclude his run as a writer as he is going to be replaced by Tony Daniel who will replace him as the writer from the next issue. Winick’s brought back Jason Todd and although he had a brief run to the title, he made it very clear how good he is at writing Dick Grayson. Winick depicted Grayson-as-Batman to be a person with a mix of confidence with a bit of wonder.
The Blackest Night: Batman Vol.2 lives up to the reputation of the entertaining miniseries written by the talented Peter Tomasi. The second issue of the series uses the same formula of “superheroes vs. zombie” which was present in the debut edition.
The comic book has all the action ingredients from Commissioner Gordon Shooting off the head of a zombie to Batman and Robin taking blowtorches to the army of their undead rouges. Tomasi has done a wonderful job with the pattern and development of the plot which would not have been possible with any other writer. However, the major drawback of the story is predictability. Tomasi has created a fun environment in the book by combining Batsman’s world with those of the zombies. This makes the readers overlook the predictability of the story.
The 687 issue of Batman answers all the questions that you might have had at the end of Battle for the Cowl. Although the issues lacks continuity but the way Dick Grayson has been handled really stands out in this issue.
The issue starts with a great flashback. Robin sets up a trap for Batman and Alfred in the batcave and manages to surprise them. The entire scene is depicted beautifully and gives us the taste of their timeless duo. Coming back to the present time, Alfred is seen mourning the loss of Bruce. Till this time it appears that Dick is still not prepared to take up the duties of being Batman. Continue reading Batman Vol 687
