Whether the comics are inspiring or disappointing, I read them all.
Welcome to The Pull List.
And, as always...Spoilers ahead!

Publisher: DC Comics
Price: $3.99
Detective Comics became the main Batman title when Scott Snyder’s Zero Year arc began.
John Layman's writing in this series provides an entertaining experience for the entire 32 pages. Wraith is killing Gotham City police officers and Batman is determined to stop him. E.D. Caldwell is looking to acquire Wayne Industries to gain access to the Bat-tech.
Bruce believes Caldwell is Wraith so he uses the offer as a way to investigate the matter. Jason Fabok’s artwork is reminiscent of the cinematic Dark Knight Trilogy and his character work is the best of the week.
There is an awesome sequence when Caldwell’s assistant is about to shoot Bruce in the back and the next panel doesn't show how she was disarmed, but simply shows her laid out on the floor while Bruce climbs into the Bat-Wing.
While there is nothing innovative going on, this is the first Detective issue in a few months that feels like a true Batman book.
Grade: A
