Robotswithpersonality

Pickpick

Aaaarrggh cliffhanger! The only reason the writers and artists are forgiven is because I can get the next volume immediately from my library. Yet another benefit of reading backlist!
This was off the chain, just ridiculously improbable survival in action-packed scenarios, Brucie baby having officially planned TOO MUCH and yet too little, creating a Matryoshka doll of Batmans with various levels of advisable approaches to the criminal element, 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? Always touching, seeing all those who come to his aid, and those glimpses of how much he cares for them.
Always engaging seeing how the Bat deals with a seemingly unbeatable foe.
I saw absolutely nothing about the Penguin situation coming. I always love a surprise Catwoman moment/focus, as the latter storyline turned out to have.
3d
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 That last story was haunting, but then any narrative focused on Batman's ethics, where he draws the line, and his psychology, how he feels about his actions, his purpose, will suck me in.
On to the next!

Mehso-so

Issue 105 is drawn entirely from Nightwing's POV, which is a cool visual trick, but narratively, I found this whole underworld arc pretty low stakes.

Oh, they spoiled us on this one. I've no idea how many different times DC may have introduced 'the first meeting/team up of Batman and Superman', but I'm sure I'll never get tired of it. There was a definite vintage flair to the art and costuming on this one which I enjoyed, and they definitely went more earnest and cautiously optimistic than antagonistic with it, which is more this particular series' speed anyway. As for the other stories 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? included, while I don't know much about Metamorpho or Bumblebee, I do feel like each of these stories was a bit too short, I guess you either like what you see and go looking for more, or you already know the character, and enjoy another tidbit about them. The Challengers of the Unknown piece Time Check was definitely too short, but the premise grabbed me. I have a feeling I'd be signing myself up to a mega info/lore dump though, it seems 1w
Robotswithpersonality 3/? like deep sci fi, possibly fantasy weirdness.
Joker-Luthor: World's Vilest is seeing each of these villains in top form, probably an extra treat for Batman fans because Joker is wacky and terrifyingly out of his mind by turns to the point that he frightens Lex Luthor, who I fear has never really impressed me as much beyond rich, arrogant and unethical (too real a villain, honestly).

Robotswithpersonality 4/4 Imperiled and Impossible: Prologue [Mark Waid and Dan Mora writer/artist team up, woot! woot! 🎉] are both pieces of a story that's just starting in this volume, to be continued in the next, so while I was entertained, I'm also miffed by the cliffhanger. I will eagerly await my library's acquisition of the next volume in this series. World's Finest, indeed. 😉 1w

Yeah- yep, that's Abe Lincoln from the giant penny and the robot dinosaur facing off in the Batcave. 🤯

I wasn‘t sure what to expect from Starter Villain, which was my first book by John Scalzi. It was a quick, entertaining read. Loved the cats and dolphins. Makes me wish I had an uncle like Jake… well, maybe. All in all, I think Charlie rolled through the various twists and turns quite well.

Eddie was kind enough to wake from his nap to pose with the book. Then, he promptly curled up and went back to sleep.

dabbe Eddie! 🖤🐾🖤 1w
