Cosmo Digital: Comic Reviews

Comic Reviews:

Since I purchase several dozen comic books each month, I am continually reading new titles. I have previously estimated that I read at least eight current series each month. Some of these newer issues prove to be interesting enough to write about. The reviews below do not have any set format, and are rather mostly just my ranting about whatever part of the comic book sets me off.

Batman #663 (written 2-14-07)
This issue of Batman features the highly anticipated return of The Joker. While author Grant Morrison's last Joker story was a letdown, this issue promises to change The Joker's character for the better. Did this story succeed in its claims?

Detective Comics #826 (written 12-9-06)
Just in time for the holidays comes this fast paced tale of Robin, The Joker, and the car ride from Hell. How does this Joker story compare to the countless others already written? And just how the hell does he survive getting hit by a truck?

Wisdom #1 (written 11-10-06)
I review the first issue of this six-issue miniseries released under Marvel's MAX line. Starring one of my favorite comic characters of all time, this issue provides the three fans of Pete Wisdom with much more to love and demonstrates a rather good understanding of the character.

Batman : Secrets Miniseries (In Progress)
This miniseries from early 2006 is focused on the relationship between Batman and the Joker. Unlike other comics which successfully played on this dynamic (The Killing Joke, Arkham Asylum), this attempt is largely mediocre.
