- I just have the regular cover on order at my LCS. I have nothing against variants, but I don't usually try to get them. I love the historic aspect of this issue coming out.

- I got the regular cover and the Adam Hughes variant, just for my personal collection. With so many copies I can't see it going up in price much.

Rapha1978 said: I've been out of the loop but what's the story going on in this issue? I dropped Batman titles after the big wedding letdown on issue #50.
Detective has had its ups and downs, but generally speaking I find it has been the better Batman title during Rebirth. That said. . .the story going on right now is pretty weak. It involves Batman pursuing a mysterious and seemingly unstoppable enemy that is targeting and killing people who helped train him during his early career as Batman. It all comes to a head when Batman finally confronts. . .himself!
SPOILER ALERT
It was all a simulation. A Matrix-Style psychological test Batman puts himself through once a year. Yeah. . .it's a modern version of the good old "It was all just a dream" trope. It seems more like a filler story to placehold the series leading up to issue 1000 than anything else, so I'll give it a bit of a break.
But even though the current story is the definition of weak, Detective is still a of a lot better than the fan fiction being foisted on us over at Batman by a guy whose gigantic ego actually makes me miss Grant "I love to show off my knowledge of obscure Silver Age and if you don't like it, F%&K off and read Wonder Woman" Morrison.

- And ON topic. . .
I've got that SWEET Bernie Wrightson variant on order.
I've got a nice spot on the office wall rotating comic cover display just waiting for it. . .

- Atom, great summation of what's going on in the Batman comics. I agree that Detective has been a little underwhelming for the current story, so I'm hoping that things pick up once the 1000 celebration is over.
