Powers rocks, it is a tad hard to pick up if you havent been reading from the start though, and even then it took 7 or 8 issues for me to really enjoy it, but its great now and i look forward to it every month!
If you get a chance, buy the "Sam And Twitch: Udaku" trade paperback, its as good as anything you will ever read in comics. It has such a GREAT story, and if you can put it down before you find out what Udaku is, ill eat my nuts
Its by Bendis as well
Because im in a typing mood at the moment, heres the story of the Robins:
Robin 1 - Outgrew being Robin and is now the hero Nightwing, who operates in Bludhaven, a city nearish to Gotham.
Robin 2 - Was killed by the Joker in a bombing (At the end of one issue, they left Robin in the rubble and told fans they could vote on whether Robin lived or died by ringing a certain number. The vote was roughly 11500 to 11000 to have him killed)
Robin 3 - Another youngish kid, pretty much the first and most popular Robin with a new name really.
For some reason, Batman tends to be either fantastic, or pretty formulaic and predictable. Heres 2 good trades to read:
Contagion: The Ebola virus takes over Gotham, its really great! (well as a story...) One of my favourites, ive probably read it about 20 times
Cataclysm: A big earthquake hits Gotham, and all the prisoners escape, as do all of the inmates in Arkham Asylum etc.
One of the best Batman stories ever, but be warned, after Cataclysm, theres 5 volumes of "No Mans Land" to buy, which is about what happens after Gotham is declared void from the US because its so f**ked up and noone can enter or leave. Great stuff
Never heard of Signal To Noise, who wrote it? Whats it about?
