Today starts a new column where I read, discuss, review, and revisit the Batman-family canon of comic books. I should preface this by saying that it has recently become my personal reading project to reread the Batman comics canon, starting from “Knightfall” and ending, well, it will probably never end. I have many goals for this project, the first of which is to simply be entertained. That’s what comics are all about in the end. It’s entertainment.
After reading Batman #39 last month, I eagerly awaited this issue. In my personal comic book world, Batman is currently the one title that I am actually caught up on. My house is, figuratively speaking, filled with stacks of current runs that I have no idea when I’m going to get to. That being said, Batman has been more or less a treat for me every month, and I stayed up late (that would be 10:00PM for me) to read the conclusion of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s “Endgame” story line. Before I get into this, I must amend my statement about ‘eagerly awaiting’ the conclusion, because I cannot, in good conscience, say that I awaited the conclusion to “Endgame” as much as I had anticipated the ending of Snyder’s “Death of the Family” story line.
