Detective Comics #846–850 by Paul Dini and Dustin Nguyen I wasn't too impressed with the character of Hush – the only reason I read the two trades collecting the story of Bruce Wayne's long-lost childhood friend Tommy Elliot we've never heard of before who has returned with a grudge against…
This isn't completely up to date, but these are the last new comic books I purchased, so that's good enough for me. It feels good to be, if not topical, then at least as current as I can be. Batman, Incorporated #1 Now this is a good comic book. Grant…
The second half of the same single purchase of comic books, because there were too many comic books to talk about in one post. Or I was bored. Or something. Batman: Return of Bruce Wayne #6 For such an important issue – the final issue of the mini-series that returns…

These are my thoughts on comic books purchased just last week – I am finally up to date. I'm speechless. Better get my words down before I forget them. Batman: Return of Bruce Wayne #5 A month late, and a fill-in artist needed to finish the issue, but it's Grant…
Writing about comics from this month – I am now topical. Not that this is my sole reason for doing this, I hasten to add; it's just nice to be current for a change. I've been enjoying it for my Notes On A Film, so I shall enjoy it for…
It's time to return to my thoughts on the new comics I buy on a (hoped for) weekly basis. I'm so close to being up to date, it looks like I'll have no excuse for not talking about comic books bought that week. I'm not sure I how I feel…
