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!
