Detective Comics #1068.....4.5 Stars

 Detective Comics # 1068



Spoilers

In a war you need allies, people who have your back and make the save when you've been knocked down, and they don't necessarily need to be your friend, as the old adage goes "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" 

Batman now appears to have at least two classic villains on his side. First Mr. Freeze and now Two Face, who have both saved Bruce Wayne from a foe that appears to be more formidable than Ra's al Ghul. Whether they are doing it out of affection for an old adversary, or an understanding that the presence of this knew foe in Gotham threatens their own existence, or both, is not what matters. What matters is that both villains have crossed the floor, which leads you to ponder the question. Will there by more Batman villains siding with Bruce Wayne in this fight, for if you include good ole Commissioner Gordon in this equation, Batman has had to  have his hide fished out the water three times now in this brewing battle. 

Batman 0 Lycanthropes 3. As per usual both the writing and art is fabulous. Ram V does an excellent job in breaking down Harvey Dent's psychology. 

4. 5 stars out of 5

Aquamen #1.... 3 Stars

  Aquamen #1 First off I hate the name. There technically should only be one Aquaman, and as one of DC comics big six heroes he should be headlining his own title, both for marketing and brand reasons.  However let's address the elephant in the room. It's long since been believed that DC feels there is a lack of racial diversity in their titles (This is an indisputable fact), and that they've been planning to rectify this by replacing current white male heroes. (There is evidence to validate this line of thinking, ie Firestorm, Atom, Mr. Miracle, Blue Beetle/The Question, but a lot of it is speculative as well)  At any right, I would have preferred at the very least Aquaman and Aqualad as the title, as we've already seen what happens to comic sales when you have a partitioned fanbase preferring one of the two Flash's, Firestorm's or six of the Green Lantern's, so you can imagine what will happen to Aquaman sales once one is headlining and the other is not.

Aquamen #2..... 2.5.... stars

  Aquamen: Issue 2 It's no secret that both DC and Marvel have been taken to the woodshed by Scholastic and Manga of late, when it comes to selling comics or graphic novels that are marketed towards pre teen and teen readers, but here at least, is one area where DC is outselling Marvel. When one reads Aquamen 2, one gets the sense that the writing is targeted for younger teenage readers, which in theory isn't a bad thing, except one major problem... Aquamen is designated for the direct market, and I'm unaware of where comics can be bought for younger readers these days outside of comic stores, for the days of finding a plethora of comics on the twirling magazine racks at your corner store is long gone, so I'm not sure how much of these printed issues are going to get in the hands of 12 years olds, which brings us to problem two.... It is clear that the narrative resolves around Jackson Hyde as opposed to Arthur, but the problem with this is,  unless you've been tuni

 Detective Comics #1065.  "Drowned, a fool who sought to swim against the undertow....against the currents of his own making. There is no air for a fool, no breath for a Bat. Not down here, in the deep of yourself, where lies the demon -Bar-ba-tos. How long will strive for air before you give in and imbibe of the blood that lies beneath? Not Long now, little Bruce. Not Long Now"  1. In the beginning God created the paper and the pen.  2. but the world was without comics, void, and dark 3. And god said, Let there be DC Comics, and so there was DC Comics.  4.
