So Neil Gaiman Batman. I don’t have time to do it justice here, so I’ll be writing more about it later, probably after the second issue hits and I can really go into both. Suffice it to say for now that I loved it. Regular readers of my blogs will know that I’m not a regular Batman reader, but that if I’m going to swing in the direction of any superhero, he’s my man. But Gaiman’s twist on the story, and particularly on Catwoman, made me jump up and down and squeal, and Andy Kubert’s art is simply breathtaking. If you didn’t pick this one up, you’re really missing out.
This week, I’m thrilled for Hellblazer–Peter Milligan has stoked the flames on my unhealthy love for John Constantine, and I can’t wait to see what happens next–but that’s it. And I don’t think that’s enough for my addiction! Help me out, ‘Rama readers. What hidden gem am I missing?

There’s a new trade of an old Grendel series (DEVIL’S REIGN) out this week. No clue if it’s one of the better Grendel stories or not (I’ll be reading it myself for the first time), but it’s Matt Wagner writing, it’s Tim Sale drawing, and it’s Grendel, so I expect good things.
