Comic Adventures Issue # 4

I read a lot of comics and rarely review them here on the blog. That's because I really don't have a lot to say for an entire post.  So I thought I would review several comics on one post.  I will still review graphic novels on their own now and then, but this is where I will talk about super-hero type comics (DC/Marvel) or sequels to some that I have already reviewed.

This issue I talk about Nightwing The New 52 DC Volume 2 Night of Owls, Batman Detective Comics Volume 2 Scare Tactics New 52, Aquaman The New 52 Volume 3 Throne of Atlantis, and Catwoman The New 52 Volume 2 Dollhouse.  I got a big haul of DC comics from the library this time around.

Nightwing By Kyle Higgins is one of the New 52 graphic novels that I am enjoying a lot.  I think Nightwing is pretty damn sexy.  I love his look.  This volume starts out with the Court of Owls (I have actually read all those in the Batman Court of Owls series so I skimmed through this part.  Then we get back into the swing of the plot from vol 1.  We get to see the villain Paragon, who sets Nightwing up as a murder.  Love the last issue in this series where we see Nightwing's origins of being Robin and how he and Batman form a relationship. 3 out of 5

Batman Detective Comics Volume 2 Scare Tactics by Tony S Daniel is pretty good.  One thing I have noticed in the DC comic universe is that Batman is a big deal.  There are so many comics branched off his story line.  This is another one.  This basically is a collection of Batman stories, which can sometimes be confusing but I figured out right at the beginning that all the story arcs in this collection were not connected so I just read away not trying to connect dots.  There is a story about Two Face which I thought was blah and disappointing.  I will say though when reading this some of it I feel like I have read before because of the batman movies. I loved re-reading the story about the court of owls (which I have already read in the Court of Owls collection comics). 3 out of 5

I am a little bummed about volume 3 of the Aquaman New 52.  I started to read it and only the first few pages were new to me.  The entire issue is also in Justice League Volume 3... which I suppose makes sense since it has the same title.  I still don't get though why Aquaman didn't get a volume 3 all to himself.  His comics have been my favorite so far in the new 52.   Honestly though I don't understand why the same story ended up in two comics.  I would be pretty ticked if I had bought this.   I'll still give it a 5 out of 5 for the story.

Catwoman is a comic i am really enjoying A LOT.   I have always like Catwoman since I was young... probably because I love cats so she just always seemed cool to me. I like her story.  The artwork fits her perfect too. I am a little bummed because I have learned the writers have changed here.. so volume 4 will be probably headed in a new direction.  In volume 3 we get to meet the villain Dollhouse, see Batman again (love it!), and meet Spark.  A fun sidekick for Catwoman.  No steamy scenes with Batman this time around but I look forward to more in the future. 5 out of 5



Well that's it for comics this time around... can't wait to read what comics come into the library next!!

I am now up to 14 books towards my Graphic Novel Reading Challenge!
