Spoiler-Free Comic Book Review: Batman 1-7

 


Batman 1-7 (2011-2012)
Publisher:  DC Comics
Writer: Scott Snyder
Penciller: Greg Capullo
Review by: Will Mitchel of Completely Comics


Batman #1-7. OMG.. why haven't I been reading this book? Hmm.. basically because I have to be in the right mood to read Batman. So, it's taken me seven months to pick it up. Okay.. so I devoured it, and loved every morsel. 


From the mystery of the Court of Owls, to the tension with Dick. To the worry that Jim and Alfred have for him. This is a fantastic story arc, all the way around. We learn more about the mystery of Gotham's past and the Court of Owls in bits and pieces through out the story, just enough to tease us to keep coming back for more. Scott Snyder is a machine. He was designed to write Batman.


The artwork is fantastic. The art style compliments the story perfectly. The art goes a little wonky during Bruce's labyrinth visit, but that's only because he was hallucinating. The art is dark and foreboding when it needs to be, and gets you deeper involved into the story. 


The revelations we find out in #7 are mind-blowing. You will be blown away by this book. Do yourself a favor and go buy this. 5/5.

Spoiler-Free Comic Book Review: X-Factor 216-219


X-Factor 216-219 (2011)
Publisher:  Marvel Comics
Writer: Peter David
Penciller: Emanuela Lupacchino
Review by: CATRsChris

This is one of the reasons I like X-Factor this much. Lots of character development, interesting subplots without going overboaThis is one of the reasons I like X-Factor this much. Lots of character development, interesting subplots without going overboard like the current run of the Legion of Super-Heroes, and the fun, there's always a lot of fun attached to the stories. Now, this one guest stars Black Cat and JJ Jameson, and some fun killers. M and Strong Guy manage to steal the spotlight, while Rahne turns out to be like a bad luck charm. This book comes highly recommended. 


I give it 4 and a half stars, out of 5.
