I love a good new-release day and
this week has been an amazing one, with a slew of great comics to
check out!
Not only do we have several titles
from DC fresh after the harrowing events on the Night of Owls, but
also the start of the second Before Watchmen series and many, many
more to read.
Here's some of our picks of the
ongoings and even a new Image series - now go ahead and enjoy! (and
make sure to be back here tomorrow for more new releases in
burst-reviews!)

I've been reading Batman comics from
time immemorial (actually, about 10 years) and to me this issue is
the perfect example of why I like Batman. While most go with action
or a relationship crisis, very few writers can capture the detective
in Batman. Amongst those few is now Scott Snyder.
To start with, the story - Snyder does
a masterful job. Not going knee deep into spoilers, I can say that
this issue has a major revelation at the end (cough...something to do
with Lincoln March...cough). And everybody's going to love it.
Not only does it give weight to the “New 52 Batman”, but it also
shows that the Wayne's are not as squeaky clean as people thought
they were.
As of the artwork, Greg Capullo amazes
me after each consecutive issue. The man is an active volcano of
talent! There are however only a few panels which show the Court
of Owls, in all of which they are dead (literally). But,
throughout the issue Capullo maintains the owl vibe. One of my
favorites is the second page from the issue. Be sure to check it out.
