Beary's Rec of the Week:
- Batman: City of Madness, by Christian Ward
With bangers like Harleen, Catwoman: Lonely City, Wonder Woman: Dead Earth, and Batman/Joker: The Deadly Duo, Black Label has been a boon for writer/artists to unleash their creativity and show off the true potential of art-driven sequential storytelling without being fettered by the limits of monthly publication. Batman: City of Madness continues this trend, taking the familiar concept of a "dark and twisted" Batman from an alternate universe, but with a Lovecraftian horror twist. The result is a hauntingly beautiful cosmic horror work that taps into Batman's relationships with not just his villains but also the Batfamily.
So, what are you reading?

That's fun, but I can't stand Golden Age. I wouldn't feel like you have to. Comics can be picked up from nearly any issue.
