I sure didn’t see it coming, but this week’s Batman/Elmer Fudd Special #1 is a strong contender for best Batman comic of the year. A fantastically illustrated, perfectly-written crime drama, this is easily the cream of the Looney Tunes crossover crop, and one of my favorite books of the year.
Things got even more mystical in Detective Comics this week, as Bats and his crew took on the artificially intelligent (ish) “Armor of St. Dumas.” I still feel like this book peaked some time ago and is on a steady (occasionally sharp) descent, but I must say that the artwork this time around made it a little harder to notice that decline. Detective #959 is, if nothing else, gorgeously drawn, inked, and colored.
Batgirl #12
“Troubled Waters” is a bit of a troubled story, but it’s kind of entertaining anyway.

…this may be [King’s] best Batman work to date, hands down.

Batman/The Shadow #3
This is probably one of the most enjoyable takes on The Joker I’ve seen in some time.

Batman ’66 Meets Wonder Woman ’77 #6
A lackluster conclusion to an uneven miniseries.

Batman Beyond #9
An acceptable entry to the series, theres nothing here I hated yet not enough to love.

Detective Comics #959
This image is absolutely beautiful, and I think it’s pretty much what most of us think of when we picture Gotham City.

Suicide Squad #20
[Williams] knows how to make the most out of the smallest moments, and he does that here.

Teen Titans #9
In what seems to be standard form, Teen Titans #9 gets off to a bit of a slow start.
