Bruce Wayne: The Road Home

Marylou — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 22:54:39 +0000

“Bruce Wayne’s journey back home has been a long and dangerous road, but before he can assume the mantle of the Bat again, he must first figure out how things have changed in the world around him, how relationships have changed…and how those changes will effect his decisions moving forward as the protector of Gotham City.”-Mike Marts

Bruce Wayne: The Road Home is a series of eight one-shots that will begin shipping in October. The series will focus on all the changes that have occurred since Bruce’s “death” and how his protégés, allies and enemies react to his return… and the man he has become.

Bruce Wayne: The Road Home will features stories form Adam Beechen, Fabian Nicieza, Mike Barr, Pere Perez, Ramon Bachs, Marc Andreyko, Cliff Richards and Bryan Q. Miller. It will feature a connecting, 8-part cover by Shane Davis.

Wonder Woman #600

Marylou — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 01:01:15 +0000

I really wasn’t sure what to expect from this issue especially after all the publicity earlier today about Wonder Woman’s costume changes, but issue #600 is a great anthology, with amazing stories from Gail Simone (pencils George Perez) , Amanda Conner, Loiuse Simonson (pencils by Geduardo Pansica), and Geoff Johns (pencils Scott Kolins).

The last few pages are a prologue to all the changes facing Diana, which I am going to keep an open mind about. While I hate when they try to create new universes and (in this case) timelines, I know that everything will be reconciled in the end, and I am hoping it will lead to an updated, yet true version of the princess (which is what J. Michael Straczynski is promising), although I do hope we get the old costume back.

The book also includes pinups from some amazing artist: Adam Hughes, Nicola Scott, Ivan Reis, Guillem March, Greg Horn, Francis Manapul, Phil Jimenez, Jock, and Shane Davis. Out of all the pinups Francis Manapul’s is my favorite, and he is quickly becoming one of my favorite artists.

Even with all the wonderful artwork I have to admit that my favorite Wonder Woman image of all time still has to be Michael Turner’s cover to Identity Crisis #4.

All the stories are good, and show a different side to Wonder Woman, but my favorite is Amanda Conner’s. Lately I love everything she does, and this was no exception. Her artwork is wonderful as always and her story has the same light-heartedness as her and Jimmy Palmiotti’s Supergirl run on Wednesday Comics.

If you are a Wonder Woman fan this issue is a definitely an issue you should pick up, it even has a introduction by Linda Carter.
