How am I to begin this post? I am totally blown away with these first three.

Batman Detective Comics, #1, is the first of the new 52 that I decided to read and to be frank, I am quite pleased! I suppose I will start this off by saying Tony S. Daniel did an amazing job with the story line, the characters and the artwork and Ryan Winn kept it dark, which is the way I believe Batman should be. The only downfall, in my opinion, is there was a lot of onomatopoeia on the pages along with Joker's uncontrollable giggling, which adds to the mysterious and thrilling experience of this read but still it was...kind of annoying.

In a comic book the "sound effects" or onomatopoeia that a character makes is a common thing, but it seemed a little too over abundant in this issue. Even though I enjoy the action-packed theme and the physical conflict when the characters face-off with each other, the best way I can put it is: it almost seemed to have too much action and not enough talk. But, setting that aside before I get redundant on the matter. I am going to go the next Batman comic, Batman #1!

Batman, #1, the second book from the series I decided to read is another excellent piece. Three Cheers go to Snyder, Capullo and Glapion. The story line worked perfectly, the coloring is a little brighter and the artwork is a little simpler than Daniel's... But! It reminds me and resembles the classics to me when Batman is in his cowl and when looking at the backgrounds, as well. The only slight problem I have with the artwork, (although I still like it,) when no one is in disguise they look really "cartoony" or a little too much like the newer animated television series and for me, it's a little bothersome. Now both of these issues have ultimately awesome endings! Both were wicked! For anyone who hasn't picked these up, yet and are feeling conflicted... don't be. READ THEM. The endings made my jaw drop and I felt my heart race... I wanted to read more and that was actually basically the first time ever reading Batman comics in a very, very long tim

Bat Wing, #1, my third choice... Right away, I can say this the art (drawn by Ben Oliver and colored by Brian Reber,) is an ultimate gold sticky star! Just by looking at the cover art, it's well animated and it's dark but vibrant and then you open the pages and your eyes pop. BRAVO! Judd and Oliver definitely took hold of the reigns and made a stupendous entrance for this bat. At the very beginning, the reader is already watching a bad a-- battle! It is a pretty intense introduction of character, especially if you don't already know who this character is! Judd has got his descriptions down-pat and you get the feel of Bat Wing very quickly, his mind, his attitude- everything. Even the background history of the location... Winick kicked some butt and took names and once again (I am seeing a very powerful pattern,) the first issue's ending sequence... A TWIST! It ends completely with the audience, what is going to happen next?!
