Their pets being watchers/guardians over them like Sidney was such a nice touch. I love how Tomasi is building up this world and its characters in such a nice steady way.

Things get real cartoony. At one moment, Mondo rips off his clothes for reasons unknown... We saw his camouflage functioning last issue just fine without calling attention to undressing, so I guess he was indeed naked in those panels... but he doesn't even camouflage in this issue after getting naked, it serves no purpose other than a hilariously creepy, clunky comic book moment. Seriously, he's more

I think the will launch de TPB first like all the other titles, this series deserve to get the trade!
Even though I've been hunting down all the single issues of this series, I just ordered trade paperback vol 1. I see that TPB vol 2 will be released in a few months. I'll be looking forward to getting both. 😄
I get the desire to get Mikey and Mondo together, but Donnie would have made a lot more sense as the tech savvy friend for Mondo to take on this mission
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Universe #23
Everyone's favorite party mutants, Michelangelo and Mondo Gecko, hit the town on a quest to help their friend Mutagen Man. Little do they know they are walking into the hands of a deadly enemy!
My copy of this issue is lonnnnnng since buried in a stack of comic book boxes. I'd like to give some of these comics a flip through to see if they're worth keeping. But I wouldn't even have a clue as to which boxes to look through. 😅
I am so sad this title is ending. It was a press of logic to see the Quietman take on three armed men simultaneously. Damian's argument that the Quiet Man is similar to Bruce was an inter. It's good to see someone take Scarface seriously. He's written as a serious threat. I'm looking foward to seeing how this closes up.

Batman and Robin #29
Arnold Wesker had been thought cured-he'd left the Ventriloquist moniker behind and started a new life. But now his ol' pal Scarface is back, and he's pulling Wesker's strings once again. Meanwhile, Batman and Robin find themselves at odds over how to handle the recently apprehended Quiet Man, who may have more in common with Batman than it seems. ...
Another good issue. I wasn't that enthralled with this series at the beginning, but it's grown on me. It's always a reliably good read.
Feral #18
Tensions flare between Elsie and Gigi under Pet City's new leadership! Things haven't been the same between the two cats since Elsie's betrayal and now Gigi's been offered a choice that could change our cats' lives forever... And her answer will shock everyone.
Going back and rereading this entire series from the beginning has really lowered my opinion of It.
I'm not sure what this series is trying to accomplish that has not already been done (MUCH BETTER) by Batman Dark Victory or Robin Year One.
Batman & Robin Year One tried to challenge the idea of is Bruce Wayne truly fit to raise a child? And more importantly, should he be bringing a ch

Pretty solid end to the series. Fantastic art.
Batman: Dark Patterns #12
Batman: Dark Patterns reaches its fiery conclusion! Can the Dark Knight Detective quell the hungry flames threatening to erase Gotham before the city is no more, or will the Child of Fire's inferno devour it all?
This isn't a terrible issue but it has the new author creates the bestest love interest ever that will last for eternity (see Carlie Cooper in Spider-man). It never sticks. Bruce takes Doc out on a date not a date to talk instead of just talking at the office which would be simple and logical.
Doc is dressed in a tight skirt and f#ck me pumps, while driving a John Wick movie breaks out.

Batman #5
A night out with Bruce Wayne goes off the rails immediately for Dr. Annika Zeller-it seems her experimental Crown of Storms has her marked for death. And if they survive the legendary 000 Gang, they'll still have to confront the sinister assassin known as The Ojo!
It's sad for me to see my favorite comic book hero gets such a mid reboot. DC comics has not been very kind the Batman. He's had a rough goal of it ever since DC Rebirth. And unfortunately, it doesn't look to be improving anytime soon.
Batman #4
As Bruce Wayne investigates the Crown of Storms, Batman pursues Anarky and discovers a criminal conspiracy hiding in plain sight that will change the game for crime and criminals in Gotham City...and the world!
There's a new sheriff in town. By that I mean a new top mobster who has taken over, much to the surprise of the other crime lords and Batman, who learns about by threatening a scared punk, way to stay on top of things Bruce.
Also, Fraction writes a diatribe about the death of the daily newspaper industry. I have news for him, daily newspapers started dying after WW2. Most big cities wer

A different perspective: this is written like a Batman or X-men comic from the 80s: numerous subplots moving forward each and every issue, sometimes with only a page or two dedicated to one sub plot each issue. Less written for the trade and more of a slow burn. I actually think this may read worse in a trade....
Fun comic, but it's kind of dragging.

The nefarious plans of rogue agents Beezle and Domino result in Rose and Zach's parents being arrested in New York City, leaving the kids to fend for themselves on the streets! The kids are drawn towards a celestial power within the bowels of the subway that may be the start of own their undoing...
Agreed. But for myself, there's not really anything else I'm really enjoying besides FERAL and BATMAN & ROBIN. ..... and B&R is ending after the next issue. :/
Plot
Zach and Rose's parents are arrested thanks to a trap set by Domino and Beezle, whose goal is to leave them stranded in New York City.
Zach and Rose are riding the subway when they sense a strange energy that stops the train, leading them through a magical wall in the subway tunnel. There, they meet Yogi and Nephilim, a half-angel, half-human being who is the guardian of the E

I'm late to this series. Had always been curious about checking it out. I love Tomasi's writing on Batman & Robin as well as Super Sons. This seemed like it would be more along those same lines. Turns out it was, but with Tomasi's own original story. If you like how Tomasi writes fun dynamics between opposite personality characters then you should definitely give this series a try.

Hornsby & Halo (2024)
Series Premiere. It's Good vs. Evil vs. Puberty from the minds of Peter J. Tomasi (Batman and Robin, Super Sons) and Peter Snejbjerg (Starman, B.P.R.D.)! Keeping the cosmic peace isn't easy. But the opposing leaders of Heaven and Hell broker a deal that trades Zachary Halo, an angel child, to a demon family...
Feral is STRONGLY holding the spot of my favorite comic book series in a very very VERY long time!!!
I'm really loving the direction this series has been taking. Sure, it's following many of the classic tropes of a George Romero zombie movie. But that's honestly a GOOD thing!!
I was thrilled to see Elsie's Spirit Guardian Cat show up again. Especially in what might have bee

Lucky the Tomcat is now king to the Pet City cannibals and no one can touch him thanks to his killer attack dog, Moosh.The indoor cats only have one choice: ESCAPE PET CITY OR DIE! Elsie has a plan but will anyone go with her after everything she's done?Nothing will be the same after this issue. Don't miss out!
I absolutely loved this issue! I have much to say, but will try to be as brief as possible. Spoilers ahead!!!
- Last issue my favorite Elsie was mostly unseen, but here she more than makes up for it! I've heard some people in video reviews giving Elsie a hard time, but she's a cat and has many cat-like characteristics. If you're a cat owner and have several kitties, then you'll know wha

THIS IS THE BIG ONE! ELSIE VS. GIGI! This fight has been brewing since Elsie had an affair with Gigi's Tomcat Lover. Now it's finally happening as the new leader of Pet City makes sheltering there even worse than before. The outcome of this FELINE CIVIL WAR will change our cats' lives FOREVER!
The main story was excellent. Unfortunately, the two bonus stories that were tacked on really dragged the issue down.
That being said, the main story by DWJ was probably one of the best written issues of this entire series. I'm not sure if I enjoyed it as much as issue #1, or possibly even more! The story was graphic in all the best ways, gratuitous, and visually stylish. The ending wa

Absolute Batman Annual: 2025
Some of the biggest names in comics take a turn in the Absolute Universe! Daniel Warren Johnson and James Harren tell tales from Absolute Batman's early days! How did Bruce acquire his batmobile? And what was it like for Black Mask's party animals when Batman first hit the scene?
Not my favorite issue of the run, but still very enjoyable.
The whole thing requires a reread.
Batman: Dark Patterns #12
Batman: Dark Patterns reaches its fiery conclusion! Can the Dark Knight Detective quell the hungry flames threatening to erase Gotham before the city is no more, or will the Child of Fire's inferno devour it all?
Wow. Never would have guessed that. These are keepers for me. So no selling on this end unless I have to.
Yeah. Same here. Makes it all the better seeing how much some of these issues are selling for. And I thankfully jumped on both sets of covers A & B. Definitely keeping them.
This was an excellent conclusion to the series. The art was some of the best in all of the issues. There was one beautiful homage to a classic Neal Adams Batman that brought a smile to my face. It was the famous splash page from Batman #251. Sherman homages it in the sequence where it's being said- "Fire does set the lizard brain alight". Look at that Batman figure in comparison to the figure Nea more

It makes me a little sad that this series has been pretty low on the radar. It's honestly the best Batman story we've gotten in recent years. I'm hoping it takes off once the collected edition gets released.
Still the best Batman book out there. I wasn't happy with Fraction's last issue, and then I read this. We have a mystery, a viable threat, and a father-son budding relationship that is hampered by duty. I hope that he doesn't draw it out like the Momento story. Six issues is good. Love the Penguin in here as well.

Oh nice! I enjoyed Stray Dogs.
Yeah, Stray Dogs was a real surprise. I wasn't prepared for that story. Really hit home. HARD!!!! If you enjoyed Stray Dogs you might enjoy FERAL. I'm not exaggerating when I say that it's is consistently good.
