“Decepticon Graffiti” WRITER: Bob Budiansky PENCILER: Don Perlin INKERS: Ian Akins & Brian Garvey LETTERER: Janice Chiang COLORIST: Nel Yomtov EDITOR: Don DaleySo Batman can breathe in space, and I’ve theorized that Space Ghost taught him. I wonder if he also taught Kool-Aid Man? Then again he’s a living pitcher of soft drink so maybe he just doesn’t need to breathe. Or maybe kid logic is in play and we just sit back and relax?

Supergirl #20
DC Comics (July, 2013)
“Home Invasion” WRITER: Michael Alan Nelson ARTIST: Mahmud Asrar COLORIST: Dave McCraig LETTERER: Bob Leigh COVER ART: Emanuela Lupacchino with Nel Ruffino ASSOCIATE EDITOR: Dickey Purdin EDITOR: Eddie Berganza based on characters created by Jerry Seigel & Joe ShusterI was really impressed with the first New Crusaders miniseries. While some of the stuff the Brain Emperor did I found disturbing in a all-ages comic, the key word is still all-ages so it might not be for really young kids, but later kids, teens, and adults can all find something in it. (And I think Brain Emperor was supposed to be disturbing.) There was a good balance of heroism, fun, and drama and I enjoyed reading it, something I sadly don’t get as often from a superhero comic made recently.
I was looking over Comic Shop News #1346 as I go through the pile of letters and newsletters that have vexed me lately and the feature article centers on the upcoming next arc, Dark Tomorrow. And while I have been fooled before by DC and Marvel interviews, this one feels more like somebody understands why I read superhero comics.
