Sorry for the late review. They added a day to my work schedule (yay, money) and it messed my internal calendar, so I forgot what day it was. (I usually auto-schedule these things.) Also messed up my sleep cycle, so I’m too tired to post anything else today. Sorry, folks. Hopefully, I’ll be back on track tomorrow, and I’ve got something fun planned.
They're gonna put me in the movies...
Batman: The Brave & The Bold #14
DC Comics (April, 2010)
WRITER: Landry Q. Walker
ARTIST: Eric Jones
COLORS: Heroic Age
LETTERER: Rob Clark, Jr.
ASSISTANT EDITOR: Harvey Richards
EDITOR: Michael Siglain
COVER: Eric Jones with Hi-Fi
It’s not just Valentine’s Day. It’s Huntress’s birthday. Too bad Batman forgot, seeing as he was too busy trying to catch Mr. Camera. Unfortunately, Mr. Camera wants to capture Huntress–for a date? And he knows who she really is! Luckily, Batman saves the day, but could Mr. Camera have a clue who Batman is? (I actually did try to fit a camera pun in here, but it didn’t work. Lucky you.) Also, Batman and Plastic Man take on Scarecrow.
What they got right: It’s getting harder and harder to not repeat myself whenever the X-Ray Studios boys get together. I like that Jones finally brought in the “show title” style title of his fellows on this title. And he does a great job with the greatest cape in comics.
What they got wrong: Landry, when I said I wanted to see your Plastic Man, I meant a full story, not a prologue where you don’t get to really weave your magic. So I’m still waiting. (This part gets harder and harder, too, you know.) Also, how does Mr. Camera’s ability to see through every camera in the world even work? I know this is supposed to be all Silver-Agey but even for this title that doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Recommendation: You know what else doesn’t make a lot of sense? Not reading this title.
I don't know what's scarier here, Batman or Plastic Man?
And I’ll try to have tomorrow’s review scheduled on time. Next time: The Incredibles.
