7/4/2018 -Trade Review - Detective Comics, Vol. 1 : Rise of the Batmen

This book is a sort of catch all for all things great in the Batmen books that were misused or neglected, during the New 52, with the exception of Batwoman. Cassandra Cain's Batgirl and Spoiler? Whoa, what a treat! Tim Drake's Red Robin (ok, he still has that stupid Red adjective thrown in there, but how else are you supposed to tell him apart from Damian?) done right? Count me in. Clayface as a good guy? Sure, can you even make a danger room, using his powers and call it the Mudroom? I know it is a weird request, but you know, I will give it a good review on Goodreads.
James Tynion IV, I have to say that the envious part of me would say that he is an example of the "It's who you know" aspect of the comic book industry. I sort of enjoyed his Talon book. I really enjoyed his back ups in the Batman book that involved the court of owls or took place during "Endgame". This book, however, is his true chance to shine. I think this is the first time, in a very long time, when the Batman proper title and Detective comics have both been very strong.
The concept behind this book is solid - all of these damaged Batman supporting characters are brought together by Batman, to work as a military unit. He lures them in, by talking about their strengths, but he is also very aware of the damage they could do to others, if they are not guided by a black gloved hand, connected to razor gauntlets. Each of the characters: Orphan, Red Robin, Batwoman and even clayface get to remind us of why we loved them all so much, before the New 52 changed everything for them. I will give this a 4 out of 5, a "really liked it" on Goodreads.com.

FEMALE MAIN CHARACTERS FROM THE BALANCING ACT UNIVERSE

You came back! Oh Man, are you awesome! Speaking of backs, I have pulled a muscle in mine. All day I have been walking around like poor Tobey up there. That is not going to stop me from delivering on my promise! In our last newsletter, I mentioned that I would provide you with a break down of all of the recent videos from each of my three channels. That will always be a given with this newsletter. I also said I would share a few of my favorite female main characters from my universe with you. This is all in anticipation for the first piece of fiction I will be sharing with you, on February 4th! Ok, so as the pain meds kick in, let’s talk about the shows that came out this week: Shari T and I were very sad to say goodbye to our recent favorite show - YELLOWJACKETS. I had suspected that covering YELLOWJACKETS would stir up interest in the ANCHORPETE channel, but I didn’t realize how active our community would become! As we went from Episode One all the way to the Season Finale, at

TOP TEN MCU Moments

11 years, and 21 films. In my opinion, here is the best of the very best ........ 10) Carol Danvers rises up, multiple times through her life For entries 9 through 10 on this list, I knew the exact moments I wanted to include. For the tenth spot, I had multiple candidates. It was hard to determine which moment, out of 21 movies, and eleven years of being immersed in the MCU, that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the 9 other scenes you are going to read about. There were other moments from the movies I chose for this list, including Infinity War, Guardians Vol 1 and 2, and Black Panther, that could have fit in here. I also felt like something from Civil War , or the original Iron Man should have made the list. In the end, This scene stood (pun intended) out among the other contenders. I go back and forth about whether Captain Marvel is a sub par film, with a few good moments, or a good film, with a few stand out moments. One thing I cannot deny is that this
