Off the Shelf: Arkham Manor

Posted on July 28, 2015 by Denise

Nutshell: A strange, compelling hybrid of Batman Detective Comics and “New 52” Batman, there’s plenty of tie-ins to the Bruce/Bat canon.  So much so that though it can be read as a stand-alone, it’s better if you know who’s who … Continue reading →

Off the Shelf — Batman Vol. 6: Graveyard Shift

Posted on April 25, 2015 by Denise

Nutshell: A great series of stand-alone stories that are hamstringed by a strange shuffle of continuity, and my inability to connect issues with stories.  Could be my bad, but this TPB doesn’t make it easy either.  N00bs, be prepared to … Continue reading →
