Batman #19:
Publisher: DC Comics
Writer: Scott Snyder
Artist: Greg Capullo
Usually I would just write about my comic of the week, but it was such a hard choice this week, and the shallow and brutal truth is that this was only beaten as I am a Marvel fanboy of sorts. Here is a part 1 of 2 Batman tale by the superstar creative team of Snyder and Capullo and after Batman's comics being dominated by over arching story lines, Court of Owls and Death of the Family, it is nice just to take a little break and have a Batman detective story. This is a great issue, as always with fanatstic art by Greg Capullo, who is consistently managaing to produce some of the greatest art on the shelves. This is a Batman mystery tale, as the cover displays, why would Batman be pointing a gun at Jim Gordon? Well I do not want to ruin anything so you should really check it out. Also one of the surprise highlights to this book was the back up story, written by James Tynion IV, featuring Superman, proving that it has not been forgotten that Bruce recently lost his son and also displays how these two characters work together and highlights there friendship. I strongly recommend that if you are a Bat fan or trying to find a way to jump into the title this issue is for you. So now to reveal what beat this fantastic comic to my Comic of the Week!
