Batman #21

Batman #21 comic reviewIt’s been almost a years since DC Rebirth #1 relaunched the DCU, retconned a big chunk of the New 52 as the work of a super-villain, and teased a connection behind the entire chain of events to one of the best comic series ever written. Since then DC’s been pretty quiet on the subject for the most part, at least until now. It seems it’s time for the Dark Knight Detective and the Scarlet Speedster to search for the truth.

Batman #21 picks up the breadcrumb of the Watchmen button left in the Batcave. When the unexplained artifact gets too close to the Psycho-Pirate‘s mask things take an unexpected turn with the sudden appearance of the Reverse-Flash. You might expect the Flash‘s arch-nemesis to stick around to cause more trouble, but he too is drawn into the mystery of the button. You know what they say about curiosity, right?

Josie and the Pussycats #6 comic reviewTeased at the end of the previous issue, Josie and the Pussycats #6 involves Josie, Melody, and Val being arrested for plagiarism. Of course the people who take them aren’t actually police. And the place they are taken isn’t exactly a police station. Blaming Josie for his sister’s unhappiness, Alexander abducts the Pussycats and takes the to his Antarctic hideaway to stand trial for crimes against his family.

While Josie and Val take their imprisonment in Cabotopia seriously, Mel is a little too amazed with the scenery, polar bears, and belting out lyrics from a certain Disney animated film to get too wrapped up in the reality that a mad man has taken them to one of the most secluded spots on the planet and means to do them harm.
