Batman: Officer Down, New comics

New comics!

Old Guard: Tales Through Time 1-2

Anthology series telling tales of our heroes’ pasts.  Good, solid, fun stuff.

Beta Ray Bill 1-3

I’ve always loved Beta Ray Bill.  He exudes an innate nobility and combines it w/ a badass character design and awesome hammer.  In this new series from Daniel Warren Johnson, he proves to be just as badass, even without the hammer.

It is so beautiful.

I originally passed on this series, but I came back after some iFanboy recommendations and I discovered just how funny it was, especially with the introduction of Skurge.  He’s excellent here.  

Batman 587

Robin 86

Batman: Gotham Knights 13

Officer Down.  Jim Gordon gets shot by a corrupt cop.  Gordan retires.  Bullock kills the bad guy in cold blood.  It’s not bad, but I don’t know if it merits a seven-part crossover.

No way Alfred quits working for Bruce over this, it feels so contrived.  I can’t believe the Pander brothers are still getting comic gigs.  The Harlan Ellison/Gene Ha Black and White backup has a hilarious ending.
