As stated in my previous post, I was to pick up my copies of Detective Comics #4 and Red Lanterns #4. And of course, that is exactly what I did today. My Sweets, My Nerdy and myself went into Worlds Collide for our weekly visit.
Nerdy picked her self a back issue of Supergirl (pre-relaunch). She opted not to get Wonder Woman, but I think she may be like me, and is more drawn to the artistic end of comic books, as it was the cover of Supergirl that made her want it (Supergirl standing over a k.o.'d Superman). And personally of the two titles I preffered the art of Supergirl over the Wonder Woman #1. Again, just my opinion.
As for the issues that I picked up, I was pleased and typically left wanting more.
In Red Lanterns #4, we see Atrocitus trying to figure out what Bleez is up to. Leading him to plunge some of the other Red Lantern Corps members into the pool of blood (actual name slips my mind at the moment). It is a risky move on his part, as they may not survive, but while they are taking their dips, we take a look into their pasts and what lead them to the Red Lanterns Corps. In the end we see that Cronos has disappeared. Is he alive? Or has someone moved him? And it is also very obvious, or appears this way, but a human member of the Red Lanterns Corps is on the horizon. I am hoping for this, as although I am enjoying the title, I do prefer a human over an alien, as it is more easy to relate to, and well some aliens just look silly to me no matter who has drawn the character. I wonder though if we are going to be seeing a Rage driven Hal Jordan style character, or if the chosen one will just be a piece of the background. And I noticed a Vampire similarity, or at least with Underworld style vamps, in which you can see the thoughts and memories by drinking the blood of the person you want to take a peek into.
In Detective Comics #4, it appears that Batman's battle with The Dollmaker and company has come to an end. The villain escaped, but personally I am left wondering if he was working for someone else. Was it perhaps The Penguin? Although he is mentioned as one of the bidders, who's to say he's not more involved then that? And when will The Dollmaker and company return? As early as next issue, or was this perhaps a test for a new addittion to the more mainstream Batman villains? Personally I think he would work as one, almost a Buffalo Bill vibe to him. Also, I think perhaps Arkham will be used a lot more to develop villains, as apparently the lower security levels are mostly young people, and they said themselves (Det. Bullock I think) that they come out of Arkham worse then when they went in. And they left me once again yearning to know what The Joker is up to, as the final frame consisted of Mr. J's face still hanging on the wall with an encasement around it.
