All of August are the Issue 12’s, most of the stories are receiving endings or epilogues to their story arcs. Some writers and artists are continuing while others will be leaving after Issue 0 in September such as Judd Winick for Catwoman, Adrian Syaf (artist) for Batgirl, Tony S. Daniel (writer) for Detective Comics, and others. I’m just so happy that some really bad story arcs are ending such as Detective Comics‘ with Mr. Toxic and Radium. I am even more excited to see that Batman will be starting up its story towards the Joker that’s coming in October. I am also saddened that Nightwing’s new villain, Paragon will be ending after Issue 12, because I really like the villain a whole lot mostly because its costume. Towards the end of the month, we have Detective Comics Annual #1 with Black Mask as the villain. For those of you who love Black Mask, I hope that Tony Daniel does not disappoint. Well, he might…but the name of the game is life, baby. We can only get what DC Comics can afford or throw at us. Every Friday or by the weekend I will always post up comics to look out for as a reminder for people to get their favorite comic books or inform new readers of comic books that comes out every Wednesday. Enjoy your August and check down below for when your favorite comic books will be coming out. Expect reviews for each comic book.
