Comic Review: Batman R.I.P.

Batman R.I.P.

The Black Glove Society is out to destroy everything Batman stands for. A DC title written by Grant Morrison (Flex Mentallo, Action Comics) and illustrated by Tony S. Daniel (X-Force, Teen Titans).

Batman is being hunted by an enemy he has never seen or heard of before–The Black Glove Society. They have the advantage and a plan set in motion to utterly destroy him. Soon he is captured and with the Bats out of the way, the city is theirs to control. The mind of Batman is the last thing the Black Glove Society hopes to control. It’s going to be a lot harder than they think.

There is a lot to like about this comic. Fantastic artwork, some different incarnations of batman and an amazing joker. But it’s kinda over shadowed by how confusing it is. It’s definitely made to F**k with your mind but it really can be hard to follow.

Comic Review: Batman Detective Comics Volume 1 Faces Of Death

Batman Detective Comics Volume 1 Faces Of Death

This is the series that set up the Death Of The Family event before we even knew about. Come check out DC’s Detective Comics, written and illustrated by Tony S. Daniel (Spawn, The Tenth).

Starting with the capture of The Joker, Batman returns him to Arkham Asylum. The next day he is gone, leaving one thing behind in his cell–his own face. Trying to track down the Joker he is lead to the Dollmaker, the man who cut his face off.  The Dollmaker is a much more slippery and elusive enemy than he first anticipated and soon Batman is fighting for his life.

The series starts out very strong, which is easy when you have the Joker as a starting point. First couple of issues are interesting and overly gory but after those it kinda fizzle’s out.
