This Week's Comic Books 7-29-09

Once again my procrastination causes me to risk having to title this post Last Week's Comic Books. Fortunately, there are only two...

Detective Comics 855: Continuing the arc in which Batwoman continues her war against the "Cult of Crime" that tried to murder her (that was in the "52" weekly series) and its new leader, Alice -- as in "...in Wonderland" -- really! Well, at least in her words and costume...and, for all we know, her mind... There is a backup feature running in some of the DC series. In this one it stars The Question, who is now ex-Gotham cop Renee Montoya. She is also Batwoman's ex, so you know at some point there will be interaction.

Superman 690: Okay, this is really annoying. Not only is Superman not in the book, but neither is Mon-El, who is supposed to be the temporary lead character. There are five different subplots touched on, some in as little as one or two pages with a note saying "To Be Continued In (insert title of another book)." While they may be important, I found some of them took away from the major chain of events going on in all of the Super-books.
