Gotham by Gaslight | Mike Mignola, Brian Augustyn

I remember the moon.
A cold and bloated orb, it watches with indifference as we pass below.
I remember my parents smiling—recalling some incident of our evening in town. They are so happy.
How quickly that can change, eh?
Something happens … the coach stops abruptly.

Wonder Woman: Dead Earth | Daniel Warren Johnson

This brutal, dystopia story follows Wonder Woman after she wakes from a cryogenic sleep to a barren Earth. As she tries to put together the pieces of her memory, she struggles with her torn allegiance to humans and her sisters. Great story well written, with stunning art that reminds me of Paul Pope.

We don‘t care we look like a mess. It was raining the majority of the time we were leaving Tucson and we had 3 bags of books with one umbrella. ☔️ Top priority was not getting the books wet with three trips by ourselves to ensure that mission was accomplished! #WDNCW @dabbe

dabbe OMG! Thou must keep the books dryeth! 😍🤩😍 #yaytoarizonarain 3w

Tom King and Mitch Gerads reunite to give us a more menacing version of the Riddler, as well as a more elaborate origin. Gerads deploys some really interesting designs, including some 1st-person POV panels, as well as security camera footage.

I made this quickly-crafted bookmark today 🦇💝...decorative tape, paper, and marker 🪄🔖😉.

This character qoute defines how my mom and I feel right now.

We're frightened FOR our county, state, & country. We are terrified FOR wildlife and Mother Nature. We are horrified FOR girls, Children, and women. We fear FOR our Californians, both born and immigrant. We are worried FOR our Indigenous Americans being mistakenly targeted by ICE.

👇

AnnCrystal But we ourselves are not frightened, we are infuriated about what is happening.

Every morning and evening we turn to our Catholic God. We relinquish to Him our anger and feel like He gifts us Hope in return.

We believe that this turns our fury into fuel.

My mom has her outlets, and Litsy has become mine.

Thank you Littens for your patience with my posts. I will always be thankful that I was met with such kindness and understanding here 😘📚💝

This is a Batman at the start of his career story.

It follows on from another story but works as a standalone.

I was surprised by this one as it had a vampire theme to it and was surprisingly violent.

It's a Batman battles a vampire cult story, and I enjoyed it a lot.

Batgirl: Silent Running | Scott Peterson

I thought I'd reread this since I liked the *idea* of Cassandra Cain. I feel her Batgirl design is unsexualised and batlike in a pretty neat way, but I don't love a lot of the art in this one, and it's hard to fully follow without context.

That was a LOT. Not entirely certain if this particular storyline continues after this book, but at least for now, I think I've had my fill of alternate worlds where Batman is in even rougher shape.
The multiverse, the look at Batman and the Joker, their psychology, remains interesting, but the emphasis on endless battle is exhausting. I'm glad to see Tim go looking, but the poor boy's still full of drama, 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 obviously my preferred story lightener is Nightwing, and he wasn't featured.
And one could argue, the catalysts put forth in Batman: Failsafe, the robot and the subconscious, are not resolved. If the story continues beyond this volume, that makes sense, but it makes for a less satisfying ending to this one, and the story within this volume was not engaging enough to make me want to pursue the finale. 💁🏼‍♂️

How crazy is my obsession with Batman?

When I first watched the TV commercial for this product, I immediately considered it perfect...for a mini Bat-Signal 😂.

🤔 🔦✨🦇✨ Wonder...😜👀.

The tour through different universes was exhilarating, but Batman's time in exile in another universe was pretty boring. The biggest problem is that back-up artist Mike Hawthorne's art just isn't very good.

RamsFan1963 I borrowed this from the library, but now I might skip reading it 2mo
JLaurenceCohen @RamsFan1963 you can honestly read the next volume without missing much 2mo
