What Can I Say
Format: Kindle
This is one of the most intriguing comic stories I have read in a long time. A disgraced superhero (kind of) and murder mystery. This book is definitely worth your time.

oddly religious
Format: Kindle
It was somewhat interesting but they really went into the whole religious thing a lot… it was kind of weird. Maybe it’s just cuz I’m not familiar with the source material.but really weird.

If Absolute Batman wasn’t running, THIS would be the best Batman story of the 2020s!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
this is my 2nd time purchasing a hardcover Batman comic in my life (1st being Absolute Batman).
The art in this run by Matt Fraction is truly premium quality and this Batman suit from color and logo basement might be in my top 5 Batman suits of all time. I look forward to continuing to follow this story.

True Detective
Format: Kindle
Life long Marvel fan who has found his way to DC, and has been blown away! Mostly the Absolute books, but when Matt Fraction is writing I’m reading. Street level Bats at his best. The art is 10 outa 10. There is as much heart in here as crime fighting check it out.
