Indeed I was impressed with how Williamson made a cohesive whole out of what was not necessarily a bunch of cohesive books. I wonder if he could cameo like Jon Kent or Yara Flor and make those line up with this, too.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-45181185858438076432022-06-25T21:25:17.913-05:002022-06-25T21:25:17.913-05:00Agreed, I thought this was a good candidate for di...Agreed, I thought this was a good candidate for digest size.

The closest thing it had to that was the Magistrate storyline that ran in the Batman-related books, so I'm glad this series not only continues it, but also fills some of its blanks.<br /><br />A recent issue even featured black-and-white versions of a few pages from the Dark Detective and Catwoman minis while revealing what happened in-between, which I found pretty neat. I have no idea how long this series will run for, but I hope it has a satisfying ending.shagamuhttp://shagamu.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-39453440407631515062022-06-14T08:10:48.194-05:002022-06-14T08:10:48.194-05:00Great review as always and I totally agree.

Perhaps he was always thrown off due to the fact that he had to spend a lot of his run trying fix what was broken by other writers......<br /><br />I can't help but think that DC just doesn't know how to market their books. You would think that something like this could be marketed to the Manga fans, and perhaps gain some traction there. As it stands, this book seems to have faded into the background (and it doesn't deserve that). Perhaps they should have made this digest sized and aimed at the manga market.....retitling it as well.....<br /><br />I know that I will be following this title if it continues!Samir Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05803216539305240396noreply@blogger.com
