Another week without Batman! The delay of Batman #24 continues for another week (he is currently in customs apparently), so a week on Wednesday will be DOUBLEBATMANDAY, not to be confused with actual Batman Day which is on the 17th of September this year.
With all that said there is some Batman this week in the form of "Dark Days The Forge", suspicion is rife, rife I tell you within the DC Universe and Batman is at the centre of it all. DC have taken a brave step with no display of the Rebirth framing on their covers for this one. Will that decision impact sales? Why does Aquaman have a 5 pointed trident on the cover (a pentdent?)?
Marvel's Defenders return with a new #1! Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron First return to keep Hell's Kitchen the delightful hive of scum and villainy it has always been! They've survived Steve Rogers and are back just in time to whet everyone's appetites for a TV show.
Jimmy's Bastards is written by Garth Ennis and asks the question "exactly what happened to all those kids James Bond must have fathered?". Given that Ennis is writing it, something funny and wrong, but I can't wait to find out.
Last but by no means least this week we have Transformers Salvation. The Dinobots take on the collosal Trypticon! Basically transformer Godzilla, he's the enormous, and it's going to be amazing to see how Grimlock and his buddies will take on a Decepticon city.
That's all for now, see you Wednesday!
