BATMAN #68 Writer: Tom King Artist: Amanda Connor Colorists: Paul Mounts, John Timms, and Jordie Bellaire Publisher: DC Comics 9/10 Let me start off by saying,"Knightmares hasn't exactly been my favorite arc. While the art in every issue has been amazing, parts of the stories left me disconnected and unsure of where the story was going. Well Tom King, you've done it again, you pulled me right back in. This was without a doubt my favorite issue of this arc. It definitely helps

Scott Snyder has long been one of my favorite writers. His run on Batman is by far one of the best runs on the character of this generation. He, along with Greg Capullo, created an epic run and are set to reunite on the character this May in BATMAN: LAST KNIGHT ON EARTH. He's currently writing the BATMAN WHO LAUGHS mini-series, which continues to sell out at comic book stores every where. He and Capullo created the character in METAL, since then the character had become one o

Bryan Hill continues to push the envelope with each new series he releases. KILL MONGER: BY ANY MEANS from Marvel could have been just another tie-in for a character ij a successful movie. Instead, Hill delivered a deep exploration into the character, in one of Marvels best series this past year. Over at Vertigo, Bryan has created one of the best crime comics to come out of the publisher since 100 BULLETS. It is one of the most relevant comics on the stands right now. Dealing

Alan Burnett has been synonymous with so many animated series and films for close to 40 years both as a writer and a producer. He worked on hit shows like "TaleSpin", "DuckTales", and "Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers" and "The Smurfs". But most people will probably recognize him from his work on "Batman: The Animated Series", with Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski, and the subsequent DC Animated series and films. It is widely recognized as the best adaptation of Batman outside of com

BATMAN ANNUAL #3 Writer: Tom Taylor Artist: Otto Schmidt Publisher: DC Comics 10/10 It's not often that Annuals deliver such a poignant tale like this issue did. The story that Tom Taylor wrote is one of the most heartfelt and appealing Batman stories I've read in a long time, and it doesn't even focus on Batman. Don't let the cover fool you, this is a tale centered on Alfred. Alfred Pennyworth might be the most important supporting characters in comics, besides Lois Lane. Wh

THE BATMAN WHO LAUGHS #1 Writer: Scott Snyder Artist: Jock Colorist: David Baron Publisher: DC Comics 9/10 When The Batman Who Laughs was first introduced in DARK KNIGHTS: METAL, he instantly became a fan favorite. The idea of Batman being infected by Joker toxin released form the Joker's dead body, gave us one of the deadliest and most twisted characters ever created. When this book was announced, I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but with Snyder and Jock I knew it was gon
