This is kind of a downtime issue, much of which is in epistolary form, the characters speaking through correspondence. Julia Kapatelis is on an archaeological dig in Turkey, looking for the site of the original Themiscyra. She gets a letter from her daughter Vanessa, who’s a counsellor at a summer camp (along with her friend Lucy). Continue reading “Comics Reviews: Wonder Woman 41, Green Arrow 31, Firestorm 96”

This one starts with Tim Drake going to see Dick Grayson, asking if he’ll train him to be Batman’s new partner.

He finally freaks out and leaves. Continue reading “Comics Reviews: Justice League America 37, Justice League Europe 13”

Last issue, Batman went to Russia to stop a nutcase called NKVDemon from killing a bunch of government officials because he thinks they’ve gotten too soft with the West. Batman ran into the NKVDemon (who’s been enhanced to be superhuman), but he got away into the sewers. This issue starts with Batman staking out a likely target (Aleksey) at a hockey game with the help of a local cop named Krakov.
