I have a complete singles run of DD from around issue 250 all the way up to the start of Souleās run which I thought was junk.
Iāve been itching for a good DD book so decided to go back to the store and get it. Not read yet though.

OMG Marv Wolfman is writing a Superman comic and I didnāt know? 
Iāll have to hope the shop has one on the shelves when I go in at the weekend,

I really enjoyed it. Itās very much the Netflix Daredevil but set firmly in the current Marvel continuity. Zdarsky really does a great job of writing the dark, morally gray version of Matt Murdock, and there doesnāt seem to be too much baggage from the previous run (I havenāt read it and had no problem following the book, at least).

Daredevil was really good. It definitely parallels the Netflix show, but mostly the good parts. Good art, great cliffhanger.

Batman 64 - First part of the four-part The Price crossover with The Flash. While at the start it deals a little with the afterwaves of HiCās developments, it seems that the crossover will focus more on continuing Gotham Girlās story, as she tries to revive her brother. It was okey, and it was nice to see some emotional impact from HiC somewhere.
Archie 702 - Teenage drama to the extreme! Enjoying this new take on Archie, closer to Riverdale but not that dark, the series continues to push forward various subplots concerning side characters, and creating even more relationship drama.
Archie 1941 5 - The conclusion to Mark Waidās alternate tale, it features some nice emotional weight, but at the end it wraps up quite quickly. Seems one more issue would have been better to conclude the series.
The Wrong Earth 6 - Really enjoying this book from Tom Peyer, pity we will have to wait until 2020 for a second miniseries (there will be a FCBD special this year).
Female Furies 1 - Well, this is complicated. While I get what they were aiming for, at times it reads more like a farse (a swimsuit/cooking competition in Apokolips?!?) than a serious take on the subject, and I think that substracts from the comic and its intented message.

Ok, thanks. I havenāt read the book in years despite him being a long time favorite. Might have to pick this one up.

I just read JL Annual and 17 The Annual was a very epic and Widescreen comic. #17 was the exact opposite. very introspective and character driven. From 17,this is my favorite version of Lex. You have to be forgiving of its alteration to DC history but I loved it. I am not a big fan of spoiler text so if you want to find out what happened I suggest you seek it out on your own. I will tell you if you ask though. Also, Jarro is becoming one of my favorite side characters in DC,

Just read Immortal Hulk 13. This could be the best looking book Iāve read this year. Fantastic visuals. Unfortunately Ewing has lost me with the story. I get that Hulk is in hell but I really struggled to follow the intricacies of what was actually happening.

Same.
I am only on for the Betty issue.
This arc had some great beats, but itās so overdone and overbearing.
Let the story tell the story and emphasize the themes. We donāt need 1/3rd of each issue being lectures.

Female Furies 1
Cecil Castellucci & Adriana Melo
This was fucking terrible. Pretty much unreadable. Same guy who wrote the new Shade series, which was pretty bad as well.
I read something like this and wonder how it even got released. The art isnāt much better.
A frustrating waste of my hard earned cash to read something by a writer who hasnāt learned to write a comic yet. I resent that as a bullshit move from DC.

Batman 64
First thingās first - check this Sean Murphy variant out.
I had a couple of Norm Breyfogle posters on my wall, which were Detective Comics covers from his legendary run with Alan Grant.
If I was a teenage now, Iād have bought 2 copies of this and it would be going up on my wall.
I love the atmosphere of it.
I wouldnāt normally do this but Iāve went on eBay and bought a copy of it.
Apparently itās concept art for All Star Batman.
As for the issue itself, itās drawn by Guilleme March, an artist who I have really liked ever since his Oracle, Gotham Sirens and Catwoman days. His art is good here, more lines than he used to use though, so itās a bit more hatched and textured.
I enjoyed the script from Williamson. Some of the dialogue at the start was too much, it improved as the issue went on and he got into a flow and dealt with the emotional beats very well. Those emotional beats sold the issue to me, linked to 2 different characters who I wonāt mention in case itās spoilers.
Itās essentially a tie-in to Heroes in Crisis but also has links to the āI am Gothamā storyline from the start of Kingās run. I feel this adds a bit more gravitas to the events at Sanctury, the lack of which is my biggest criticism of heroes in crisis.

Yeah, no, like I posted above - as a comic, itās badly written. But it also just badly made.
The script is all over the place, the tone is nonexistent, and the ideas are scattered and kinda nonsensical. Jesus christ.
And just like with Marvelās America I am shocked when I see praise of it.
Saw one that said it was one of the most important comic releases this week.

Ive not even checked, is it getting praise?
I just dismissed it as garbage.
I challenge anyone to read this and try to defend it genuinely with a straight face.
