My Pick of the Month: BATMAN BEYOND!!!
I’ll be honest… it was sort of a lackluster month to be a fan of the Caped Crusader. There were a few exceptions, though. The always-stellar Batman continues to make for a great bi-weekly read. As does the monthly Adventures of the Super Sons maxi-series. But it was a great surprise to see Batman Beyond step it up with Brett Booth art to match the fantastic Dan Jurgens script. I’ve always liked the character and the story, but this was a top-notch art addition. But enough of my thoughts. What did you think of November’s Batman-related releases? Let us know in the comments section and on social media and we’ll see you at the end of the year for our final installment of Baturday for 2018!
