I can't believe the same writer did both TDK and the wonderful DCU Presents. But yeah, Daniel comes off a bit better than usual for the comparison in my mind.<br />I was cautiously optimistic about the Penguin series, and it delivered, and then some. His origins haven't been fleshed out as much as characters like Two-Face and the Riddler, so I'm definitely down for what this series is doing.Waylonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401043437179086649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030345768939930801.post-54222092376827246342011-10-07T20:08:20.948-05:002011-10-07T20:08:20.948-05:00Grabbed both minis and Detective Comics from these...Grabbed both minis and Detective Comics from these latest batches of reviews. Detective Comics is nothing special, but the art is attractive enough and the script was a step up from the stilted wording and overwrought narration in the first issue that I'll see where the arc goes. The cliffhanger didn't thrill me, but I guess we'll see how things play out.<br /><br />Both minis were excellent. There's been a lot of talk about how women have portrayed in this relaunch (some points I agree with, some I think are pushing it), and I think this Huntress comic is an example of how it can be done well. I really didn't expect much from the Penguin comic, but I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with the respect given to the character.<br /><br />In other words, I'm pretty much in full agreement on these comics.Joshistoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18091707082842526156noreply@blogger.com
