Batman-and-Robin

[caption id=“attachment_434” align=“alignleft” width=“197” caption=“X-Men Legacy #260.1”] [/caption] X-Men Legacy #260.1 - Rogue and team head to Wolverine’s school to work security. They struggle with the idea of keeping the kids from having the X-Men childhood they did. The book leaves Mike Carey’s hands, but Christos Gage does a good job with his first issue. Superboy Vol 5 #5 - a little more forward momentum on the story, but not much Magneto: Not A Hero #3 - this mini-series continues to explore how Magneto has and hasn’t evolved over the years. Depending on how it ends next month, could be something I recommend for the trades Amazing Spider-Man Vol 2 #677 - the start of a short crossover with Daredevil. It’s a fun story and I’m curious to see how it ends [caption id=“attachment_435” align=“alignright” width=“193” caption=“Batwoman #5”] [/caption] ...

[caption id=“attachment_359” align=“alignleft” width=“195” caption=“Batman and Robin #4”] [/caption] Batman and Robin #4 - The creative team hits their stride as a book I was once sure to drop and collect in trades starts becoming a book I can’t wait to read every month. This issue has Batman and Robin deal with escaping Nobody’s trap as well as Batman’s parenting issues. This run could end up becoming as groundbreaking as everyone says Grant Morrison’s Batman and Robin was. Batgirl #4 - Batgirl’s faceoff with The Mirror! Will she finally win or will it be one of those battles where he escapes at the end? Gail Simone does a good job writing an issue that really makes me feel that Barbara is in good hands. I just wish she’d finally answer whether or not she was Oracle Superboy #4 - Superboy continues to be a bit emo, but it’s fun to watch. I think kids of a certain age would identify with him and I enjoy shaking my head at him. He travels to NYC and has some “fun” there. I’m curious to see just how this first arc ends.

[caption id=“attachment_170” align=“alignleft” width=“195” caption=“Penguin: Pain and Prejudice #2”] [/caption] Links go out to my reviews on Comic Vine. Avenging Spider-Man #1 - This is a hilarious issue featuring Spider-Man and Red Hulk investigating an issue in New York City. The writing is great and the art matches the quality. Penguin: Pain and Prejudice #2 - a cinematic look at the origins of Penguin and how Mr Cobblepot grew up. You really should be reading this mini-series. Marvel Point One One-Shot - a bunch of short stories that let you know what’s coming up in Marvel next year. Great stories, but you’ll probably find out about all this within Comic Vine’s news feed. Magneto: Not a Hero #1 - It looks like Magneto goes on a rampage. What’s really going on? Find out in this mini-series. Huntress Vol 3 #2 - the story continues as Helena tries to foil a human smuggling and prostitution ring. Another great mini-series that’s a lot of fun to read.
