Finally, a couple of quick reviews from last week.

 * **Batman: The Brave And The Bold #10: **The Brave and the Bold has been a fun
   anthology series; typically the main Batman story is top notch, which is the 
   case again. We’re starting a Man-Bat arc tied to Gotham Academy. The Artemis 
   story was just ok; Amazon stories have never really been my thing. The Nameless
   story was really well done; it’s something I hope they work from in the future.
   Lois Lane’s story. The Cheeseburger closes out the book and it’s an amazing story;
   the black and white anime style tale fit well with the Clayface story. Grade:
   B+.
 * **Detective Comics #1082: **This is the first Ram V Detective Story I’ve read;
   I probably need to go back and read the previous arc to fully understand what’s
   going on. It’s a little confusing without the knowledge, since Batman is wandering
   the afterlife. At the same time, the people of Gotham are forgetting him while
   he’s gone and the Question (the Renee Montoya version it appears) is trying to
   find out why and fill the void. The backup story features people wronged by Dr.
   Hurt, who shows up in the main story, as they try to get their revenge on him.
   Grade: B.
 * **Green Arrow #9:** Oliver is on the hunt to find a missing Roy Harper and everything
   points to Amanda Waller. Waller recently acquired the Hall of Justice and all
   of the contents; Oliver breaks in to confront her. To get Roy back, Oliver might
   have to work with Waller to find his boy. It’s a great follow up arc to a superb
   debut in the Dawn of DC. Grade: B+.
 * **Jay Garrick: The Flash #5:** These legacy hero books have been interesting.
   The Jay Garrick book especially so, as he had a daughter missing in time that
   was completely forgotten about. It’s a fish out of water story for Judy while
   Jay is dealing with a teenage daughter while he’s in his later years. It’s a 
   fun book. Grade: A-.

I’m going to be getting caught up on Flash and Catwoman soon, while I also want 
to check out the current Harley Quinn run and see what the Alan Scott book is like.

I’ll be back later this week with a new comic book reading order.
