DC Relaunch

A while ago I complained about Batman dying and disregarded Grant Morrison and how he handled the character.  Well, if I haven't already, I completely recant.  I started reading what Morrison did next with Batman, and it was brilliant.  Yes, Batman came back, but before that (and for awhile after, until this month's relaunch) Dick Grayson (former Robin, former Nightwing) took up the mantle with fantastic results.  From Morrison's Batman and Robin to Scott Snyder's Detective Comics, Dick Grayson made for a great and fun Batman.

But now that all changes.  Now the status quo is being reinstated.  Kind of.  Continuity is being rejiggered across the whole DC Universe.  It seems all very confusing.  I know it's a strategy to make DC comics appear simple and easier for newcomers to start reading, but I was having a blast in the current Batman world.

Granted, some of their new, rebooted/relaunched/renumbered titles look interesting, but I'm still kind of put off by the whole ordeal.  So I'm going to wait.  It sounds like most of these books will be telling 5-6 issue story arcs (or maybe I'm just making that up, I forget).  So if I hear good things, I may pick up some titles when they are released in trade paperback collections.  But for now, I think this is a good jumping off point for me when it comes to single issues from DC.

Except The Unwritten.  Dang, that book gets better and better every month!
