Comic Book Review: Batman #21 - DC Comics (2017)

"The Button" Part 1
Written by Tom King
Pencils and Inks by Jason Fabok
Colors by Brad Anderson

Batman is investigating the button that was mysteriously found during the Rebirth comic book.  Upon finding something unexpected, Batman contacts The Flash who was in the middle of a fight.  Before the Flash could dispose of his foes and get to the Bat-Cave, Batman has a visitor.  Don't read any further if you do not want any spoilers.

This is how you kick of a comic book event.  I am all in on finding out more about this mysterious button as this appears to be a Watchmen tie-in.  Batman sees his father from an alternate universe and also gets into a tussle with the Reverse Flash.  Reverse Flash claims to see God at the end of the comic before he looks to be burned away.  It looks like the aftermath of those that cross Dr. Manhattan(or is that just something we are lead to believe?).

Jason Fabok is an absolutely fantastic person to be doing the art for this comic book.  I've been a huge fan of his work for some time and I really enjoy the way he draws all of the heroes and villains of the DC Universe.  I'm looking forward to seeing more of his work as this story progresses.

Comic Book Review: Dark Knight III: The Master Race #4 - DC Comics (2016)

Written by Frank Miller & Brian Azzarello
Pencils by Andy Kubert

Superman's daughter Lara is bent on destroying her father if he doesn't join her and "their people."  Batman and Robin watch from far away and Gotham is given an ultimatum.

I keep buying this book despite the stupid price.  I'm not sure why I do as it basically means I'm saying it's okay to charge $5.99 per issue.  I guess I do take some solace in the fact I get 20% off the cover price but then again, I do on books that cost $2.99 as well.  The series has been good thus far, but for this price, I can buy 2 books.

Batgirl needs to get to the pier.  There are people that don't want her to get there.

Well, I guess you do get two comics for this price.  The DKIII series comes with a mini comic in each issue and Batgirl is this month's inclusion.  These mini books have a look unto themselves, regardless of who is drawing them.  Sinclair's colors are wonderful so it at least has that going for it.
