Review: DETECTIVE COMICS #1000
DETECTIVE COMICS No. 1000
DC COMICS – @DCComics
[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]
EDITORS: Chris Conroy and Dave Wielgosz
COVER: Jim Lee and Scott Williams with Alex Sinclair
VARIANT COVER ARTISTS: Steve Rude; Bruce Timm; Michael Cho; Jim Steranko; Bernie Wrightson with Alex Sinclair; Frank Miller with Alex Sinclair; Tim Sale with Brennen Wagner; Jock; Greg Capullo with FCO Plascencia
MISC. ART: Mikel Janin; Jason Fabok with Brad Anderson; Amanda Conner with Paul Mounts;
96pp, Color, $9.99 U.S. (May 2019)
Rated “T” for “Teen”
Batman created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger
Detective Comics is an American comic book series published by DC Comics, and it is the longest continuously published comic book periodical in the United States, according to the Guinness World Records. Its first issue, Detective Comics #1 (cover dated: March 1937), was published by Detective Comics, Inc., a forerunner of DC Comics. Detective Comics is best known as the comic book series in which Batman/Bruce Wayne first appeared, in Detective Comics #27 (cover dated: May 1939).
The first volume of Detective Comics was published from 1937 to 2011 (for 881 issues). Then, as part of “The New 52” initiative, the series was relaunched in the fall of 2011 with a new Detective Comics #1 (cover dated: November 2011). In 2016, after 52 issues of “The New 52” run, Detective Comics reverted to what would have been its original numbering if it had not been relaunched – with Detective Comics #934 (cover dated: Early August 2016).
March 30, 2019 marked the 80th anniversary of the first appearance of Batman. Although Detective Comics #27's cover date is May 1937, it apparently debuted for sale March 30, 1939. Just in time for this Bat-birthday is the arrival of Detective Comics #1000.
To celebrate, Detective Comics #1000 is an anthology (which the series originally was) featuring ten short stories created by an “all-star” list of comic book creators. It also features a twelve-page preview of Detective Comics #1001 and has three pin-up illustrations.
For this review of Detective Comics #1000, I'll offer a few comments one each story:
“Batman's Longest Case”
STORY: Scott Snyder
PENCILS: Greg Capullo
INKS: Jonathan Glapion
COLORS: FCO Plascencia
LETTERS: Tom Napolitano
Snyder and Capullo have been THE rock star Batman creative team of this decade, but this story, introducing another of Snyder's contrived secret societies, is a misfire.
“Manufacture for Use”
STORY: Kevin Smith
PENCILS: Jim Lee
INKS: Scott Williams
COLORS: Alex Sinclair
LETTERS: Todd Klein
I think this is the first story I have ever read this is about the gun that killed Bruce Wayne's parents, Thomas and Martha Wayne. I like this slightly imaginative slash inventive tale from filmmaker and sometimes comic book writer, Kevin Smith. The art is standard Jim Lee Batman art – not Lee's best work, obviously. The coloring by Alex Sinclair is gorgeous though.
“The Legend of Knute Brody”
STORY: Paul Dini
PENCILS: Dustin Nguyen
INKS: Derek Fridolfs
COLORS: John Kalisz
LETTERS: Steve Wands
This is another good idea turned poorly executed Paul Dini story from Paul Dini. However, this story has the best Dustin Nguyen art I have seen in quite awhile; maybe Derek Fridolfs' inking helped. John Kalisz colors are also nice.
“The Batman's Design”
STORY: Warren Ellis
ART: Becky Cloonan
COLORS: Jordie Bellaire
LETTERS: Simon Bowland
The art team of Becky Cloonan and colorist Jordie Belliare produce some attractive art for this story. Warren Ellis offers a thoughtful examination of how young men can end up as violent, remorseless criminals. Ellis also presents a rather screwy, oddball version of what mercy from Batman looks like. This is a nice story.
“Return to Crime Alley”
STORY: Denny O'Neil
ART: Steve Epting
COLORS: Elizabeth Breitweiser
LETTERS: Andworld Design
If any writer deserved to have a spot in Detective Comics #1000, it is classic Batman writer, Denny O'Neil. His offering for this anniversary comic book features a Batman supporting character, Leslie Thompkins, that O'Neil created with artist Dick Giordano. This is a powerful, powerful tale starring the one of the few characters who can give both Batman and Bruce Wayne pause. Steve Epting's beautiful illustrations, Elizabeth Breitweiser's watercolor-like hues, and Andworld Design's lettering make this the best story in Detective Comics #1000.
“Heretic”
STORY: Christopher Priest
ART: Neal Adams
COLORS: Dave Stewart
LETTERS: Willie Schubert
The second best story in Detective Comics #1000, “Heretic,” features art by one of the greatest Batman artists of all time, Neal Adams. It is set in the world of Ra's al Ghul, a character that Adams had a hand in creating. Christopher Priest offers a potent tale about the fate of those become ensnared in both Batman and al Ghul's sphere of existence.
“I Know”
STORY: Brian Michael Bendis
ART/COLORS: Alex Maleev
LETTERS: Josh Reed
Okay. The third best tale in this comic book is Bendis and Maleev's “I Know,” which depicts a confrontation between an aged Bruce Wayne and The Penguin. This is an edgy tale with a Film-Noir feel, and I really like Maleev's design of each page.
“The Last Crime in Gotham”
STORY: Geoff Johns
ART: Kelley Jones
COLORS: Michelle Madsen
LETTERS: Rob Leigh
This is a nice tale by Johns and Jones. This isn't Jones' best Batman work, but it is nice, and it is made all the better by Michelle Madsen's (as usual) gorgeous coloring.
“The Precedent”
STORY: James Tynion IV
PENCILS: Alvaro Martinez-Bueno
INKS: Raul Fernandez
COLORS: Brad Anderson
LETTERS: Sal Cipriano
This is a nice, sentimental tale about the importance of Dick Grayson/Robin to Bruce Wayne/Batman. The art team, the colorist, and the letterer turn in some pretty art. Brad Anderson's colors are practically radiant.
“Batman's Greatest Case”
STORY: Tom King
ART: Tony S. Daniel and Joëlle Jones
COLORS: Tomeu Morey
LETTERS: Clayton Cowles
Meh.
“Medieval”
STORY: Peter J. Tomasi
PENCILS: Doug Mahnke
INKS: Jaime Mendoza and Doug Mahnke
COLORS: David Baron
LETTERS: Rob Leigh
This is story is basically twelve pages of filler exposition, but the art, colors, and letters are eye-catching. “Medieval” also offers the preview of a big character debut that is supposed to happen in Detective Comics #1001.
Detective Comics #1000 is, by my estimation, better than last year's Action Comics #1000, which was apparently the bestselling comic book of 2018. I think many of the creative teams in Detective Comics #1000 are better at capturing the history and characteristics of Batman and his supporting cast, than their Action Comics #1000 equals were with Superman, even if the Batman teams largely fail to tell stories that convey the mystique of Batman.
It took a little over eighty-two years for Detective Comics to get to one thousand issues, so many of the Batman writers, artists, and editors who established the character are deceased. The shame of it is that many of the people who really deserve to contribute to Detective Comics #1000 are long gone from the world of the living, that includes Batman creators, artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger (arguably the greatest Batman writer of all time).
I would replace most of the artists in Detective Comics #1000 with such late luminaries as Carmine Infantino (one of the most important Batman artists of all time), Jim Aparo, Bob Brown, Gene Colan, Sheldon Moldoff, Don Newton, Marshall Rogers, and Dick Sprang, to name a few. I would brush away almost all the writers who actually appear in this comic book for a number of Batman writers who are deceased, such as John Broome, Gardner Fox, and Frank Robbins, to name a few.
There are quite a few living Batman creators who should have stories here: writers Mike W. Barr, Gerry Conway, Steve Englehart (a frickin' crime that he is not included here, really) Doug Moench, Grant Morrison, and artists Brian Bolland and Alan Davis, to name a few. Frank Miller provides a variant cover for Detective Comics #1000, but... Also, Alan Moore...
But I have learned to take what I get... even when there could be better. Detective Comics #1000 will be the high-water mark for one-thousandth issues until some other titles reaches a thousandth issue. Oh, well.

Review: DEADMAN #1
DEADMAN No. 1 (OF 6)
DC COMICS – @DCComics
[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]
STORY/ART/COLORS: Neal Adams
LETTERS: Clem Robins
COVER: Neal Adams
32pp, Color, $3.99 U.S./$4.99 U.S. for Glow-in-the-Dark cover (January 2018)
Rated “T+” for “Teen Plus”
Deadman created by Arnold Drake and Carmine Infantino
“Journey into Death” Part One: “Still Dead... After All These Years!”
Deadman is a DC Comics superhero. The character first appeared in Strange Adventures #205 (cover dated: October 1967) and was created by writer Arnold Drake and artist Carmine Infantino. Deadman is a ghost, but he was once Boston Brand, a circus trapeze artist.
Brand performed under the name “Deadman,” his stage persona which included him wearing a red costume and white corpse makeup. Brand was murdered during a trapeze performance by a mysterious assailant known only as “the Hook.” A Hindu god named “Rama Kushna” gave Brand's spirit the power to possess any living being, so that Brand could search for his murderer and obtain justice. Brand's spirit takes the moniker “Deadman,” and he becomes a superhero of sorts.
The original Deadman comic books are most associated with legendary artist, Neal Adams, and writer Jack Miller, the creative team that took over the Deadman serial after Arnold Drake and Carmine Infantino created the initial story. Neal Adams returns to the character in the new six-issue miniseries, Deadman, which he writes, draws, and colors. Clem Robins letters the series.
Deadman #1 (“Still Dead... After All These Years!”) opens where readers last left Deadman – discovering that the true story had barely begun! Deadman’s death was unsolved, and even Batman could unravel the fantastic mysteries surrounding Boston Brand.
The story opens in Japan where Commissioner James Gordon of the Gotham City Police Department has arrived as part of a nuclear safety inspection team. However, Ra's al Ghul's League of Assassins is apparently plotting to kill Gordon, and Deadman has learned that Boston's murder may have been a test for Hook and members of the League. Will Deadman gets any answers, even after Batman enters the drama and stirs chaos?
The last several years has seen Neal Adams produced a number of limited series comic books starring DC Comics' most popular superheroes, especially Batman and Superman. I have totally ignored those comic books, but I could not ignore a Neal Adams Deadman comic book.
Deadman #1 is not a particularly good comic book. Yes, the art displays Neal Adams' signature dynamic page layout and also some nice graphic design that is not as dynamic. However, the story reads like something undisciplined or unfocused. Let's be honest: DC Comics would not allow a first time comic book writer to get away with the kind of clunky and awkward storytelling found in this first issue unless he or she were the child of someone powerful and influential at DC Comics' parent corporation, Time-Warner.
I tried to lie to myself, the first step in lying to you, dear readers, but Deadman #1 is not good. I hope it gets better, but the first issue does not make a compelling argument that I keep reading.

Review: THE KAMANDI CHALLENGE #3
THE KAMANDI CHALLENGE No. 3 (OF 12)
DC COMICS – @DCComics
[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]
STORY: Jimmy Palmiotti
ART: Amanda Conner

Rated “T” for Teen
Kamandi created by Jack Kirby
“Bug in Your Ear”
Kamandi, The Last Boy on Earth was a comic book series created by Jack Kirby and published by DC Comics. Running from 1972 to 1978, the series starred Kamandi, a teenaged boy in a post-apocalyptic future. In this time, humans have been reduced back to savagery in a world ruled by intelligent, highly evolved animals.
Kamandi, The Last Boy on Earth #1 (cover dated: October 1972) opens some time after a huge event called “The Great Disaster,” which wiped out human civilization. In “Earth A.D.” (After Disaster), many animals have become humanoid, bipedal, and sentient, and also possess the power of speech. These newly intelligent animal species have equipped themselves with weapons and technology salvaged from the ruins of human civilization and are constantly at war in a struggle for territory.
The world of Kamandi returns in the DC Comics miniseries, The Kamandi Challenge, bringing together 14 teams of writers and artists. Each issue will end with an cliffhanger. The next creative team will resolve that cliffhanger left behind by the previous creative team, before creating their own story and cliffhanger, which the next creative team after them will have to resolve... and so on. The third issue of The Kamandi Challenge is written by Jimmy Palmiotti; drawn by Amanda Conner; colored by Paul Mounts; and lettered by Clem Robins.
The Kamandi Challenge #3 (“Bug in Your Ear”) opens after Kamandi escaped from Tiger City, but now, he is plunging to his death. He is rescued by two “Savage Bats” and taken to the “God Watchers.” Kamandi may start to regret being rescued because the God Watchers think that he is a messenger from their god.
“Bug in Your Ear” follows the cliffhanger that ended issue #2's “Nuclear War.” The Kamandi Challenge #2 was a fun read, but I thought that it lacked the punch of either of the two stories published in The Kamandi Challenge #1. The Kamandi Challenge #3 is different; it is both fun to read and it has punch. It has the elements of a morality tale and is surprisingly thoughtful, and it acts like a series of cliffhangers, big and small. Some cliffhangers are based on action and threats, but some of the cliffhangers are based on choices that Kamandi will make from a moral or philosophical point of view.
I have been a fan of many of the stories that Jimmy Palmiotti has written, so I am saying good things about his work here with some favoritism. Artist Amanda Conner and colorist Paul Mounts are a dream team. Her drawings are always filled with nice background and environmental details that offer something new upon second and third viewings. Mounts rich colors are simply eye candy, as they shimmer and even pop off the page.
Jack Kirby had a seemingly boundless imagination, and it will be hard for the creative teams in this series to come close to Kirby's vision. At least, The Kamandi Challenge #3 shows some inventiveness, and it is the kind of issue that will keep me reading this series.

Review: LUKE CAGE #1
LUKE CAGE No. 1 (2017)
MARVEL COMICS – @Marvel
[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]
WRITER: David Walker
ARTIST: Nelson Blake II
COLORS: Marcio Menyz
LETTERS: VC's Joe Sabino
COVER: Rahzzah
VARIANT COVERS: Mike Deodato, Jr. with Frank Martin; Andre Leroy Davis; Tim Bradstreet; Neal Adams with Dave McCaig
28pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (July 2017)
Rated T+
Luck Cage created by Archie Goodwin and John Romita, Sr.
Luke Cage, also known as “Power Man,” is a Marvel Comics superhero. Cage was created by writer Archie Goodwin and artist John Romita, Sr., and first appeared in Luke Cage, Hero for Hire #1 (cover dated: June 1972). Cage was imprisoned for a crime he did not commit, but he eventually gained superpowers in the form of durability, unbreakable skin, and superhuman strength.
As Power Man, Cage has been most associated with another superhero, his partner, Iron Fist (Daniel “Danny” Rand), and the duo was featured in the long-running Power Man & Iron Fist comic book series in the 1980s (with a new version being launched last year). Cage is now also featured in a new solo comic book, Luke Cage. It is written by David Walker; drawn by Nelson Blake II; colored by Marcio Menyz; and lettered by Joe Sabino.
Luke Cage #1 opens with our titular hero rescuing a very stupid young woman from a really gullible criminal. Then, Luke gets some awful news. Dr. Noah Burnstein, the man responsible for giving Luke his powers, has committed suicide, so he travels to New Orleans for Burnstein's funeral. There, he meets Burnstein's colleague, the sexy Dr. Lenore Mornay, who tells Luke that there is more to Burnstein's death and to his scientific experiments than he may realize.
After the fun of Genndy Tartakovsky's recent four-issue miniseries, Cage!, the darker Luke Cage is a nice follow-up. The mood is sinister in this comic book, and the threats of adversaries seem to surround the narrative. Once again, David Walker shows his chops when it comes to writing dark, moody, but intense comic books featuring African-American characters.
Artist Nelson Blake II and colorist Marcio Menyz produced art that is too clean and brightly colored for what promises to be an edgy series. This is not low quality storytelling by any means, but it does not work for David Walker's storytelling. We'll see what the second issue looks like.

Review: THE KAMANDI CHALLENGE #2

Kamandi created by Jack Kirby
“Nuclear Roar!”
Kamandi, The Last Boy on Earth was a comic book created by writer-artist Jack Kirby and published by DC Comics. The series ran from 1972 to 1978, and starred Kamandi, a teenaged boy in a post-apocalyptic future. In this time, humans have been reduced back to savagery in a world ruled by intelligent, highly evolved animals.
Kamandi, The Last Boy on Earth #1 (cover dated: October 1972) opens some time after a huge event called “The Great Disaster,” which wiped out human civilization. In “Earth A.D.” (After Disaster), many animals have become humanoid, bipedal, and sentient, and also possess the power of speech. These newly intelligent animal species have equipped themselves with weapons and technology salvaged from the ruins of human civilization and are constantly at war in a struggle for territory.
The world of Kamandi returns in the new DC Comics miniseries, The Kamandi Challenge, bringing together 14 teams of writers and artists. Each issue will end with an cliffhanger. The next creative team will resolve that cliffhanger left behind by the previous creative team, before creating their own story and cliffhanger, which the next creative team after them will have to resolve... and so on. The second issue of The Kamandi Challenge is written by Peter J. Tomasi; drawn by Neal Adams; colored by Hi-Fi; and lettered by Clem Robins.
The Kamandi Challenge #2 (“Nuclear Roar”) finds Kamandi in Tiger City, where the great leader, Lord Caesar, is apparently about to activate a nuclear warhead. None of the man-animals seem interested in Kamandi's warnings about the weapon, but no one expects a kind of Trojan horse. Also, a unique Kirby creation makes an appearance, and it still (shockingly) works.
“Nuclear War” follows the cliffhanger that ended issue #1's “K -- is for 'Kill'!” Simply put, The Kamandi Challenge #2 is a fun read, but lacks the punch of either of the two stories published in The Kamandi Challenge #1. I like Neal Adams' art here; it is the best of his recent work that I have seen. The compositions are big and capture the craziness and epic scale of Jack Kirby in his 1970s prime.
The story, however, reflects the weakness of a gimmick series like The Kamandi Challenge. In coming up with a new chapter by starting from some other writer's previous chapter can be treacherous. Even if a writer comes up with a way to resolve the previous writer's cliffhanger, the rest of his own story can meander or seem like filler as the writer tries to do his “own thing.” That is what happens with “Nuclear Roar;” much of it seems like filler on the way to a cliffhanger ending.
I'm still going to keep reading, though.

I like Neal Adams' art here; it is the best of his recent work that I have seen. The compositions are big and capture the craziness and epic scale of Jack Kirby in his 1970s prime.
The story, however, reflects the weakness of a gimmick series like The Kamandi Challenge. In coming up with a new chapter by starting from some other writer's previous chapter can be treacherous. Even if a writer comes up with a way to resolve the previous writer's cliffhanger, the rest of his own story can meander or seem like filler as the writer tries to do his “own thing.” That is what happens with “Nuclear Roar;” much of it seems like filler on the way to a cliffhanger ending.
I'm still going to keep reading, though.
