Scott Snyder is Back with ALL-STAR BATMAN #1 This Week!
Writer Scott Snyder created something truly special during his hugely popular “New 52″ run on BATMAN spanning 51 issues creating some of the coolest Bat stories we’ve had in years. The torch has been passed to other writers on the main BATMAN and DETECTIVE COMICS books and some fans are already missing Snyder’s version of Batman. Not to say the new stuff isn’t good, because it most definitely is, but Snyder has a special touch that fans have come to love. Enter ALL-STAR BATMAN.
Yes, Snyder sure didn’t stay away from this character for long as he is back with a new on-going series that strays a bit from tradition. Snyder will write short arcs featuring different Batman villains and the series will highlight a huge list of artistic talent instead of any one mainstay. The first arc deals with Batman’s relationship with Two-Face and features the artwork of heavyweight John Romita Jr. which should excite fans of Snyder, Romita Jr., and just about anyone who loves Batman. So yeah, I’m excited.
‘My Own Worst Enemy’ part one! Superstar writer Scott Snyder explodes into an all-new Batman series alongside legendary artist John Romita Jr., reimagining some of the Dark Knight’s greatest villains. First up: Two-Face! Batman must take Two-Face to a destination out of Gotham City, but the duplicitous villain has a two of spades up his sleeve. Every assassin, bounty hunter and ordinary citizen with something to hide is on their tails with one goal: kill Batman! Handcuffed together on the road to hell, this is Batman and Two-Face as you’ve never seen them before!
This new series should not be missed. Sure there may be a flood of BATMAN books on shelves today, but if I could only pick one, it would definitely be this one due to the star power alone. Anyone on the fence should hop off and give this series a try. I have a feeling big things are in store for us within these pages.
