Death and the Maidens came out last week. It turned out to be pretty good. If any of you guys are Ra's Al Ghul fans you should go dig around and pick up this series, or wait on the inevitable TPB.

Gotham Central #20 - Good story, the return of one of my favorite former members of the GCPD Harvey Bullock. The Mad Hatter story is turning out well too. He has always been a character that needed an edgy side.
Birds of Prey #68 - Pretty fun issue. A little too much like a sex in the city type show (although I've never seen sex in the city) to me, but I think that is what Simone has been going for.
Gotham Knights #54 - Good issue, elaborated on the events in Killing Joke a little further. It is nice to see the three main classic bat villians (Joker, Riddler, and Penguin) together .

Ick. I can't wait for War Games; hopefully we'll get Tim back as Robin then.
Then again, last week was great, if for no other reason then revisiting Killing Joke in official continuity, and because I love seeing Joker, Riddler & Penguin together in one room.
Does anyone know when/if we can expect a softcover release of Hush?

That cover is way better than the hardcover one. I wonder why they did that dull cover for the hardcover, when it is usually harder to sell a hardcover. They should have used this cover for the hardcover too.

That is part one. My book distributor shows that part two will be released sometime this november. They are wrong occasionally though, so don't hold me to this.

[glow=purple,2,300]Fright was that albino chick that you saw in the previous issues. Apparently, she used some of Crane's chemicals and now is able to exhale nerve toxins and has superhuman strength and agility.[/glow] |
