About Heroes

If you are looking for a consistently good, on-time book, pick up Detective Comics. Don't finish reading this review, order the book online or go to your comic shop and get it.... Go!!! GO!!!! Okay, maybe you're not going right away, but still go after you finish your sandwich or whatever. Dini is consistently turning in good one-and-done, no-strings-attached Batman stories where a mystery is set up, investigated, and solved in 22 pages, similar to the 22 minutes he used to get on the animated series. This issue deals with a murder, and the newly reformed Riddler, who teams up with Batman to solve it.

The art by Don Kramer, is fantastic as usual. He is one of the best artists out there right now because he can consistently turn in a quality book on time, which we seem to be lacking these days. I never have any problems following his layouts or camera angles, they always seem to tell the story in the right way. Kramer and Dini are a fine team and I am glad to see that DC kept him on the book instead of the rotating teams that were originally planned. Sure J.H. Williams and Rags Morales would still have been great, but neither of them are the most timely artists. How long did it take for Seven Soldiers #1 to come out? I'll take Kramer over anyone else, any day. Add this title to your pull list, you'll be doing yourself a favor. B+
