PICK OF THE MONTH: BATMAN!!!
With so many great releases, it was hard to pick, but with the finale and the beginning of two great Tom King-penned soon-to-be classics, the choice was obvious. Look at all those 5/5’s up there, though. Gotham’s great. Dark Nights: Metal is epic. And the main Detective Comics title is really doing something special each and every issue. What were your favorites? We’d love to hear from you. Let us know in the comments or on social media and we’ll start chatting it up about the Dark Knight and Comic Booked’s longest-running column. Until then, see you next Baturday!
