I really enjoyed Batman #25, and I can’t wait to see what happens next. I haven’t loved everything in this run, but I almost always look forward to reading it. And if I can have a good time reading Batman comics, I’m a happy camper.
There were a number of “extra-sized anniversary” issues this week (including Batman), and the ones that I read were good! Aquaman was wonderfully-written and beautifully-illustrated (by new series artist Stjepan Sejic), and while noticeably flawed, Superman #25 managed to pack in plenty of the things that I’ve loved about the series as a whole. The extra page counts may seem like a gimmick to justify charging an extra dollar, but thankfully, the quality is there, too. What did you think?
All-Star Batman #11
One part daring adventure serial and one part fairly frustrating narrative, the former is thankfully favored so it’s easy enough to recommend.

Batman #25
…while it’s entertaining and good in many ways, I ultimately find myself asking many questions.

Batwoman #4
However much this series has ambled and rambled and burned slow, it’s been a nice rainy day read.

Harley Quinn #22
All comics should be this good.

Injustice 2 #4
…come to see the reveal of Ra’s al Ghul, stay for some heart-tugging reminiscences of his petulant little grandson.

Justice League #23
The political overtones are about as subtle as Nightwing’s disco duds, but the almost abstract contrast between good and bad here makes it easy to follow and digest.

Nightwing #23
Oh Dick, don’t you know better than to make a deal with the devil?

Superman #25
Manchester may be a bit much, and the artwork is a bit confused with all of the hands in it, but when you get down to it, this book hits the high points it needed to.

Super Sons #5
There isn’t an awful lot of new ground tread here, but what’s there is solid and fun, just like this book has been from the beginning.

Trinity #5
Rather than recover from the book’s recent lull, Trinity #10 extends the decline with sloppy dialogue and a plot that has too much in common with another lately-published DC book.
