Happy Baturday, Batman fans! Lots of things are changing up in the DC Universe, but the one constant is that the Dark Knight will always lead the way in terms of both story and sales. Batgirl and the Birds of Prey came to an end, Bane: Conquest heads to its final issue next month, Batman: White Knight reached its finale, Super Sons concluded its first volume, and then there’s something about a pending wedding… But enough of all that. What were your thoughts on the month of May’s Batman-related releases? Here are mine:

My Pick of the Month: DC NATION!!!
I’ll be taking a brief sabbatical from Team Comic Booked over the summer, but I’ll see you tomorrow for Super Sunday and sporadically for some news, interviews, and independent spotlights. But rest assured, I’ll still be reading and spouting the gospel of the Bat over these hot summer months. See you in August for the next installment of Baturday!
