Batman & Robin Volume 3 & 4.
These are the last two.
All four volumes cover Grayson as the new Batman & Damian as the new Robin, after Bruce’s “dearth”. Then the return of Bruce & the formation of Batman Incorporated! Old villains & new villains return, over all pretty good!

Another indy book Sullivan's Sluggers. Just started but basically a minor league baseball team get caught up in a supernatural occurance and have to fight their way through various monsters. Looks fun and picked it up off of Comixology. Enjoying that little app, it really is a nice way to get into comics and it is pretty cheap.

KF -thanks, been looking for volumes that covered that transition!

So Im on Chapter three of Death in the Family - Joker is FRIGGIN insane, I relish in his mind warpness but this is making me sick in the tummy.
I got a few ideas on whats the twist is but do yorsleves a favour and get this.

Will wait for Death in the Family on tp

I thought Death of The Family started out good, but then went sideways, not least of all because of how Joker views Batman (uggh), but also because of the implausibility in the timeline of how he gets his plan for everyone rolling and seeing to it all personally. . . By the halfway point and for how it ended, I just wished they hadn't done it.

Finsihed death in the family - i think it was pretty good. ending felt a bit rushed and could have been fleshed out more. lol i think this joker borrowed from nolan's joke of ELOBORATE and CHAOTIC schemes but "it was all part of the plan" i enjoyed the epilogue...keeps u thinking.

@Bat
That ending was such a copout.

DG - yup, I agree but how else could it have ended? its hard not say something coz i dont want to give spoilers but to me joker really mind (bad word) the family and Im sure there will be follow up stories to this one.

@Bat
Then don't write such an ambitious story if the actions of the characters are going to paint you into a corner without been able to take the logical conclusion to the story.

I'm sure there'll be follow ups to the sychological fallout, Teen Titans has that happening in the latest issue with Red Robin, but really, all the setup and the meanness gave way to a lame joke because they couldn't let Joker completely go the distance without messing up the current Bat franchise.

They shouldn't have even bothered.

DG - PM'd

I haven't read Death of the Family so I don't know what happens, but based on what you guys have said, I'm sure whatever ending they went with came from up high, ultimately DC execs have the final say :/

I did hear about what happens in Batman Inc #8, that one was kind of hard to avoid. Really bummed me as I was really enjoying B&R, so that title will probably go out the window now.

Read Sandman vol 5: A Game of You last week.
Long story short, it's Sandman. Beautiful art, amazing story.

Need to try and work through the rest of the New 52 samples this week so I can finally decide what to start getting.

@Tiggi
Batman Inc, waste of time I think. Too much Batman stuff, theyre oversaturaing the market and making the franchise weak. Same with Superman. Man of Steel may be interesting only because the main SUperman title is so underwhelming, but do we really need a Superman/Batman title again. The last was mostly crap and what's the point of the New 52 when they're just bringing back everything that made the before rebbot such bloated crap. They're quickly turning it pointless with the major characters.

@DG: agreed, way too many titles in the main families. Must be a mission for the writers to try and maintain continuity, especially with crossovers. Had Batman Inc been separate from the main canon then I wouldn't have cared, but seeing that it is, it pretty much kills a big part of why I was enjoying B&R.

From the Bat franchise, I only read Batman, Batgirl and Batwoman.

And the new Batman/Superman title is about their first meeting and subsequent working together. But they already did their first meeting in JL, so DC already smooshing their own continuity, which is what the New 52 was meant to rectify.

But then when their main title, Action Comics is already been continuity destroyed by Morrison from the beginning, I suppose theyre ok with anything as long as the sales number stay up.

Stopped reading Batman after they started that Batman Inc. I just buy the good story lines in tp form now! Like this Death in the Family, i will get that!

@Knight
You should read the main Batman New 52 title from the beginning, not just that arc.

Superman: Earth One Vol. 2

Dial H #1 to #5 to get a feel for it. Quite a bizarre book, half the time I couldn't even tell what was going on. Though there are some nice ideas, and my interest is somewhat peeked to find out more about the dials, the dialog just feels too convoluted for me. Maybe give it a few more issues but don't think it's one I'll continue with.

Suicide Squad #1 to #5. Not bad, interesting style but a little chaotic. Feels like they're trying too hard to just throw the squad into crazy situations without really going into more detail as to why they're there. I suppose it's all exposition that could be revealed only later, but not very interested to find out what happens next.

Green Lantern #1 to #5. Really enjoyed this. Sinestro makes this book right now. Love seeing his rapport with Hal, love seeing how strong of a character he is, unwavering in his resolve. Only concern is that Geoff Johns is leaving as head writer soon, but right now, will likely be getting this.

Wonder Woman #1 to #5. Also enjoyed this. Never knew WW focused so much on Greek mythology, interesting story thus far, though not surprised with Brian Azzarello (sp?) helming it. Only gripe is the artwork. I like the style, but some panels are noticeably not as well drawn, with bodies just looking weird, causing tangents that just don't make sense.
50/50 on getting it.

@Tiggi
The thing is, there was a Wonder Woman arc that focused on Greek mythology exclusively, with a war between the gods. It sold very poorly despite been an amazing story. So most of the greek mythology was thrown out in favour of her just been a normal superhero pccassionally dealing with other Amazons. Not only was it terrible, it faired poorly as well.

@DG: assuming this was pre New 52? First few issues (and based on previews I've seen for future issues), seem to have quite a heavy focus on Greek myths so if it carries on like that it would be great.

@Tiggi
Yup, pre 52. It came out before that retarded storyline concerning Maxwell Lord as well. Unfortunately that arc doesn't seem to be out in trade form. One of the advantages to the single issues was that they all had Adam Hughes covers and were gorgeous!

I'm on issue 18 of the 52 WW and yup, it still continues the Greek setting.
