Previous Issues: Batman

Batman

Previous Issues

Batman #9


Scott Snyder: writer
Greg Capullo: penciller
Jonathan Glapion: inker


Words: 9/10
Pictures: 9/10
Recommend: Better use of the Night of the Owls, and I expect nothing less from the main Bat-book.
Buy Next Issue: Of course.This comic is worth the extra buck, but I hope my shop gets the other books soon, for cover's sake.




Batman #8

Scott Snyder: writer
Greg Capullo: penciller
Jonathan Glapion: inker


Back up:
Writers: Scott Snyder & James Tynion IV
Art: Rafael Albuquerque


Words: 9/10 - Solid beginning to this event.
Pictures: 8/10 - between the two artists, this is where is should be. Still awesome though.
Recommend: Highly, especially if this is the first time you have heard about the Night of the Owls event. Everything is laid out in this comic to get you caught up to date and to get going with the crossovers.
Buy Next Issue: Most definitely!



Batman #7
Writer: Scott Snyder
Pencils: Greg Capullo
Inks: Jonathan Glapion



Words: 8/10 - who is this new character? I wish some more info was given for her. Quite frankly, I don't care about her and the one scene she was in really felt weird in retrospect.
Pictures: 9/10 - Good, solid, consistent work.
Recommend: This is the primer for the upcoming Bat-crossover that can get you caught up with the nitty gritty details of the event. If this was a line wide event ala Avengers Vs. X-Men or Green Lantern Blackest Night, this would be issue #0 for that series.
Buy Next Issue: Without a doubt.



Batman #6

Scott Snyder: writer
Greg Capullo: penciller
Jonathan Glapion: inker


Words: 10/10
Pictures: 10/10
Recommend: If you are familiar with Batman comics and want to give this a go, the only thing that you would be missing out on is wondering why Batman is hallucinating half the time. If you take that part out, even a new reader could connect with this issue.
Buy Next Issue: HAHAHAHAH! Now that's a funny one.



Batman #5 

Scott Snyder: writer
Greg Capullo: pencils
Jonathan Glapion: inks


Words: 9/10
Pictures: 9/10
Recommend: Not if you are picking it up for the first time. Get this if you have been keeping up.
Buy Next Issue: Hooked. Or skewered. Skewered is the better word here.



Batman #4 

Scott Snyder: writer
Greg Capullo: pencils
Jonathan Glapion: inks


Words: 10/10
Pictures: 10/10
Recommend: Hell to the yea. There is enough here that new readers can pick up on if this is the first issue they give a try to, but it is best to enjoy from issue #1.
Buy Next Issue: The money is in my pocket waiting to be spent.



Batman #3

Writer: Scott Snyder
Pencils: Greg Capullo
Inks: Jonathan Glapion


Words: 10/10
Pictures: 9/10
Recommend: Get it now. Much better than Detective, and only a hair above Batman and Robin.
Buy Next Issue: I should take this part out of the review when the first three are so positive. AS if you couldn't tell already.



Batman #2 & #1

Scott Snyder: writer
Greg Capullo: penciller & cover
Jonathan Glapion: inks


Words: 10/10 for both issues.
Picture: 9/10 for both.
Recommend: You can be a newbie to Batman and understand what is going on with all the complexities that Batman has. Get 'em.
Buy Next Issue: I did, and I will be there for 3. This is one Bat-title that will be around for a good, long while.
