- Over the past couple of days I've finished Vertigo's DMZ, issues #21 - #74 for 53 issues.
This series started strong but had a severe slump in the middle that was almost bad enough for me to lose interest and quit. Thankfully, it picked back up for a pretty satisfying ending.
It's a hefty stack of comics, and it's more character-driven than by action (in other words a LOT of dialogue), but if you're looking for something outside the superhero box, check it out.
Grand Total (so far): 290

- Didn't read too many comics since last time I checked in. I got stuck writing a training manual for new employees from scratch because our computers got switched out for shiny new ones, but they forgot to transfer any "non-essential" documents. . .WHOOPS!
But I DID get a few in. . .and NEW comics at that!
Batman ( DC 2019) # 78 - #79 Tom King's run can't end soon enough. Romance fan fiction with Batman sorting out his feelings for Catwoman in an island paradise. . .WHILE GOTHAM IS HELD HOSTAGE BY BANE AND AN ARMY OF SUPERVILLAINS! Nice art, though.
Blade Runner 2019 #3 (Titan Comics) As far as I'm concerned, this is the best new comic on the stands. Great Neo Noir Science Fiction action backed up by some really good art. It's not from a top tier publisher, but do yourself a favor and check it out if you like the Sci-Fi.
Detective Comics #1010 - #1011 (DC 2019) Filler propped up by unlikely coincidence, extreme suspension of disbelief, and (wrongly) assuming that Deadshot is an idiot. What a waste of page space. I was enjoying Detective as a sort of refuge from Tom King's Superhero romance fan fiction, but this is pretty bad.
Batman: Curse of The White Knight #2 (DC 2019) I'm a little on the fence with this one. On one hand, I LOVE having Azrael back! On the other hand. . .is this "Elseworlds" version the Azrael I want back? Either way, great art worth the price of admission alone.
The Punisher #14 - #15 (Marvel 2019) I'm REALLY liking the direction Punisher is taking! None of this outer-space monster fighting . Just good old anti-social Frank Castle reluctantly teaming up with Black Widow, Moon Knight, Ghost Rider, Night Thrasher (wait. what?), AND the forgotten Longbox Junk female Punisher he worked with back a few volumes ago for the most messed up team ever! It's just great. Normally I'm not a fan of Punisher teaming up with superheroes, but this time it works. If you're a Punisher fan, you've got to be in on this one!
Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #36 (Marvel 2019) There's a lot of twists and turns for the payoff from the last few issues here, ending with Darth Vader showing back up! I haven't been a huge fan of the last story arc, and I'm pretty glad it's over. . .but I get the sinking feeling this series is winding down to a finale.
So that's a measly 9 issues for a grand total of 299!

- Tom King's Bat and Cat #1
This is my boss, Bruce Wayne, a multi millionaire. He's quite a guy.
This is Selena Kyle. She's Gorgeous. She's one lady that knows how to take care of herself.
By the way, my name is Alfred. I take care of both of them. Which ain't easy. Because when they met, it was murder!
He doesn't want to write Batman, he wants to write Hart to Hart.
