I'll be getting the DETECTIVE COMICS and BATMAN Crossover story for the next few months. And if you haven't been following the comics, I recommend you start now. I'll also be getting Batman Annual#25 and All Star Batman and Robin, The Boy Wonder #4, unless they change the release date again. They better not!

All Star Batman and Robin really needs to start going somewhere. I'm following the series and I have every intention of sticking with it but I just don't feel like the story is moving. Maybe that's because the issues are spaced so far apart in terms of release or maybe it's becasue Frank Miller just can't seem to leave Sin City anymore. After reading issue #2 I'm not sure if that was Batman driving the Batmobile or Marv. I just hope the story picks up a little.

I'll probably end up getting the two One Year Later Batman titles, as I want to know what the deal is after Infinite Crisis. I'll also get All-Star B&R #4 and All-Star Superman #3 in March. I'm sure I'll also get Batman Annual #25. I don't want to miss finding out about Jason Todd!

I am already obligated to get the March 2006 Catwoman, since my Web site pertains to her. I am also interested in seeing what is going on with Birds of Prey, and how the new lineup looks. And now, I wonder what will go on with Batman and Robin.
I also wonder what is going on with Catwoman, because of the character changes. This is going to be one interesting ride!

Maybe these two issues need to be read together, or maybe they're trying to make up for the constant lateness... Either that or they'll back up #5 to May. And maybe we'll finally end this whole story in June with #6. This started last July, so this story better not go into it's second year. I'll be getting All Star 4 and 5, and the DETECTIVE/BATMAN crossover story as said before.

In June, all of the One Year Later storyline (with the exception of Nightwing and Catwoman) will come to an end. Who will live and who will die? Prepare for the end. TO GET: Detective Comics#820 Batman#654 Batman: Under the Hood Vol. 2 And if DC's crazy enough to release AS#6 before #5, I'll still get it. HA HA HA! Oh who am I kidding? We'll never get these issues out!

Don't worry. DC isn't going to put out #6 before #5. They'll just resolicit it like they've done with #4. And they did. #5 and #6 will be released in August and September, respectively. But apparently, All Star Batman and Robin, isn't the only title having release problems. The miniseries, Journey into Knight is also having some problems. #10 was originally for May, but pushed it to the beginning of June, along with 11. But now 11 has been pushed to August with 12 going to an unknown date(possibly September).

DETECTIVE COMICS #822 Written by Paul Dini; Art by J.H. Williams III; Cover by Simone Bianchi
The team of writer Paul Dini (BATMAN: WAR ON CRIME, Batman: The Animated Series), artist J.H. Williams III (PROMETHEA, SEVEN SOLDIERS) and cover artist Simone Bianchi (SEVEN SOLDIERS: SHINING KNIGHT) deliver another intriguing tale of the Dark Knight!
When a young socialite is murdered, her grief-stricken uncle turns to the newly reformed Riddler to find her killer. No longer the villain of old, the Riddler has turned his brilliant brain to crime-solving, and to the surprise of both the police and Batman, he's actually good at it. Has Gotham's most pernicious puzzler turned over a new leaf, or is it all a cover for a darker scheme?
Prepare for twists, turns and betrayals every step of the way as Batman and the Riddler forge an uneasy alliance to track down the mysterious murderer!

I am getting Batman #655 and Detective Comics #821 without a doubt(and I'll be getting those two titles every month for as long as Morrison and Dini are writing them). I also think I'll get Batman Chronicles vol. 2, since I already have vol. 1, and I enjoy Batman's earliest adventures.

If Dini's writing Batman I'm in. I'm still kicking myself for not picking up 'War on Crime' or 'Mad Love'.

I'll of course be getting All Star#5, and considering how long we've been waiting for these issues, it better come out on that day.
I would get Absolute Dark Knight, but it's too damn expensive for me. I think it's a ripoff too. Why pay $100 for one big book, when you can get DKR and DKSA separtely for $40?

Don't worry. DC isn't going to put out #6 before #5. They'll just resolicit it like they've done with #4. And they did. #5 and #6 will be released in August and September, respectively. But apparently, All Star Batman and Robin, isn't the only title having release problems. The miniseries, Journey into Knight is also having some problems. #10 was originally for May, but pushed it to the beginning of June, along with 11. But now 11 has been pushed to August with 12 going to an unknown date(possibly September). Well, scratch that. Issue 5 is now due out in November, no idea on issue 6. This is really pissing me off. And what happened to Journey into Knight? Will issue 12 be out or what?
