Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Reviews
Batman #5
DC Comics
Snyder, Capullo & Glapion
Scott Snyder knows how to put together an excellent story and an entertaining, individual comic book. He's done this with his creator-owned works, such as American Vampire, and with franchise-level properties, such as Batman. He never disappoints. The latest issue of Batman breaks out of his established storytelling style as he plunges Batman into the void of his own consciousness. It's a good read but is definitely a departure from the usual Batman or Scott Snyder story.
ACTION COMICS #1, BATMAN #1 and DETECTIVE COMICS #1, three top-selling debut issues from DC Comics – The New 52, are once again out of stock at Diamond and are heading back to press for new printings!
