    Boring

    The Good  

     
    The only good thing is the title, if this was called the return of anybody else I wouldn't read and its hard for me to say this because I'm a batfan.  
     

    The Bad  

     
    The story is boring this box that is supposed to help the story come together doesn't get enough importance to make me care about it. Since he is jumping through time you only get to see most of the characters once, which makes it almost impossible to remember or care about them. This is a problem because here the blonde girl says my grandfather  told me to give the box to the stranger who is this nameless girl? I'm guessing she's the granddaughter of the guy who was in the ship with bruce (who btw I can't remember his name) Also this box is important but we don't know much about it, we should get some more info since families are being destroyed for it. The art also bothers me, because if some of this characters are related there should be thing in them that when you see them you can relate them to their ancestors. I really want this to just end and I pray that Bruce's arrival to Gotham will be exciting. 
     

    Finally  

     
    If you are a batfan like me you're gonna have to read this boring number if not just go read something else. If you want to read something that bat related and cool, read the Widening Gyre, that was some quality reading.

    @THE ZEPPELIN FAN: Never read it, but it doesn't sound good, heard the movie was bad.

    Jonah Hex the comic is fantastic.  Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray craft a fantastic book every month.  Great one and done stories.  The movie is not a reflection on the comic.  The creators had little to nothing to do with the movie.

      Grant Morrison is acclaimed because he is one of the few writers who really push the medium to its potential. Part of the reason he can do this is because of his knowledge in the Occult.   There will always be three types of readers that walk away from a Grant Morrison story: (1) Those that had no idea what happened and did not like it, (2) Those that had no idea or little idea what really happened but enjoyed the story and (3) those who understand the messages between the lines.  ...

      Grant Morrison continues his tale of Bruce Wayne's return through time, and this month its a stop in the cowboy days. And it does not disappoint. Morrison's writing is fantastic as ever and this month he's joined by another great artist, Georges Jeanty (Buffy the Vampire Slayer). He may not be the best artist that Morrison has worked with, but he's not the worst.  His art is a bit more cartoony than most, but that doesn't mean it doesn't look good, because it does look damn good. Story-wise this...
