TCCDM Dig and Flip: "Batman: The Black Glove" (2008)
"Batman: The Black Glove"
Grant Morrison, J.H. Williams III / Tony S. Daniel (Illustrator)
DC Comics (2008)
176 pages
(I stumbled upon a good-sized box filled with a variety of graphic novels at an estate sale. No official count as I've just been pulling from the box when I find time to read one. Afterward, I post the book and go from there.)
NO SPOILERS:
We are presented with two stories. The first story is a murder mystery about an invitation-only meetup amongst a variety of lesser-known superheroes and the big kahuna himself,...Batman. It has a familiar...“one of us here is a murderer”...who-dun-it rhythm. Very nostalgic and a lot of fun to flip.
However, the second tale was a bit disappointing. The artwork was nicely done, but the story finds Bruce Wayne dining with a young socialite mixed-up with a fustercluck of flashbacks and maybe/maybe-nots. I never was quite sure what was going on. It all felt rushed and confusing. But that's just me. YMMV. Now go wash your hands.
"Fist In Glove" - Golden Earring / "N.E.W.S." (1984)
Good stuff.
