Stuff I Read This Week 7/2/14

My reviews for the week are finished and available on Black Nerd Problems for enjoyment alongside your barbecue and the drinks your uncle tells you not to watch him make. Smell that shit before you drink it. You never know. This week I took a look at.....

Batman Eternal: This was an awesome week because it furthers Scott Snyder and the conspiracy to make Jim Gordon an awesome character. I'm of the mind that a hero is only as great as the villains who test them. What better test is there to keep throwing in a hero's path than his sociopathic serial killer son? Also, Jason Bard is growing on me. His team-up with Harvey Bullock and Maggie Sawyer has been a great read and is evidence that we need a GCPD book soon. Mikel Janin is easily one of the best artists we've seen on this book yet. He really seems to get the kind of atmosphere this book should have, but isn't shy with using a very definitive color palette to get his point across and separate the "freaks" from the "straights."

Iron Fist, The Living Weapon

: This book has not hesitated to get better with each issue and I'm totally okay with this. When you create a genre based superhero, I believe the idea is to make a character that would make the most skilled, revered real life figures of that genre shit themselves. Having said that, Iron Fist would render Bruce Lee unconscious just by cracking his knuckles.
