My Pick of the Month: BATMAN!!!
Gotham being back on the air is a good thing, but Black Lightning and Arrow are starting to lose steam while DC’s Legends of Tomorrow had a fun season wrap-up (here’s to hoping they put Constantine on the cast next year). Gotham by Gaslight was a totally different experience than I thought it would be. DC’s specials, one-shots, team-ups, and New Age of Heroes line range from good to amazing. And then there’s the main universe comics, which are always a delight. Tom King’s Batman continues to be the top of its game and the comic book against which all other comic books are measured. But enough of my thoughts. What are yours? Anything get added to your list this month? Taken off? Any surprises, good or bad? Let us know in the comments section below or on social media. We’d love to hear from you before next Baturday!
