Time for last week's books. Unfortunately, incredibly dissapointing books. There were so many comics with quite a potential, none of which used it. None but one. And let's write something about this issue. Review below!

Batman #35

Guess nobody should be surprised with my pick. Batman's regularity, sophistication and intelligence are not to be mistaken with any other title. Scott Snyder is one of these writers from young generation, who will be talked about for decades, unless longer. Each single arc of his run is written as an epic saga full of mysteries and surprises. But when we take all of them and connect into one series, reader's satisfaction is guaranteed. Maybe it is not the title for everyone, but this dark and even gothic atmosphere has its fans. Including myself.

Issue 35 begins a brand-new storyline called Endgame, which is supposed to be an ultimate Batman story. Is he going to die? Of course not. Is he going be provoked and pushed to his limits? Definietly. Is he going to eventually defeat his enemies, whoever they are going to be? Come on, he's Bruce Wayne, a world-famous billionaire and vigilante. He must win.

After Court of Owls, Joker and Riddler, Snyder had to think about a new threat. And that's going to be Justice League of America. Yes, the one with Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash and others. Somehow our new villains get mind-controlled. How and by whom, you need to find out by yourself. I will only spoil the fact it will be epic.

But a script is only one aspect of this book. Artwork, made by talented Greg Capullo, is gorgeous. You can see above a sample of it with Bruce Wayne running away from evil Wonder Woman. Greg's panels' dynamism and details amaze me each single issue. That's definietly some kind of phenomenon. One person filling with astonishment so many books. Awesome.

Overall, Batman #35 is a solid commencement to all-new arc. It's worth checking out.
