I´m new to the world of comics, I'm sure I'll be discovering a lot while I keep this log of comics I've read. I'm gonna need your help, being no expert at all any guidance will be useful.
I'm going to start with the Batman & Son arc by Grant Morrison. This will cover Batman #655, #656, #657, #658, #663, #664, #665 & #666
So let get this rolling:
Batman #655
Writer: Grant Morrison
Artist: Andy Kubert
Cover: Andy Kubert
Colorist: Dave Stewart
Letterer: Nick J. Napolitano
Length: 23 Pages (Estimated)
This issue starts in media res; A poisoned commissioner Gordon falls from a building while The Jocker celebrates finally killing Batman, he does not realize though, that Batman has a gun and is willing to use it.
What? Batman with a gun?
I may need some backstory, perhaps in wasn't the easiest issue to start reading Batman, but it took me a while to understand that the Batman with the gun was a cop that snapped.
This arc deals with Batman cleaning Gotham, The Joker gets incarcerated and all major villans are gone.
During this issue we get to see Tim Drake as Robin. So far I've only read stories with Tim or Dick as Robin.
The first 9 pages are very good. They give a feel of where we are heading: a bored Bruce Wayne that has to face life as himself. The rest of the issue goes with no action at all, just dialogue (mostly between Alfred and Bruce)
Overall, I think this issue has a lot of filler with some very strong sequences from the beginning.
