scans_dailyReally loving this book so far. The characters are very interesting and Ben Oliver is truly a superb artist.
Judd Winnick's is on a role over the last several months. Massacre has been a great villain.
I think the biggest strength of the book is that it has it manages to use it's setting in Kongo as a unique feature and doesn't play into the stereotypical western view of Africa. It's also a enjoyable to read a spinoff/satellite title that's not heavily bound to the Bat-family, Batwing can easily support his own book.
Next stop Gotham!!!!!

Date: 2012-02-01 08:13 pm (UTC)question though, isn't Nightrunner dead? i love Morrison, but some of his stuff is kinda hard to follow and require an extra read.
but totally with you on Black Bat and Knight and Squire (more squire as Knight never really stuck to me)

Date: 2012-02-01 08:33 pm (UTC)As far as I'm aware, only possibly the Outsiders are dead, Nightrunner I haven't heard about if he has too. In fact other than the Outsiders, the only member of Batman Inc that I think has actually died is the Russian one, and that was in Batman and Robin.
Cass not being involved I can probably understand (drawing the first Casstoon in ages about it), and really Squire was the main character whether the Knight is around too, with him effectively acting in the Robin role while she's the smarter, more organised of the two, if that makes sense.
Same as how Beryll had a character arc (of her dating the wannabe supervillain/hero Blud) across the length of their solo series, while Knight remained somewhat static.

Hahaha, agreed. Batman (and Gotham) has literally been shoe-horned in *everywhere*.
Seems so silly to put all that emphasis on the Congo just to take him out of it, feels like it'll detract from his character somehow.
