Detective Comics #572

Sherlock Saturday takes us back to the 1980s for a comic that marked both the 50th anniversary issue for Detective Comics and the 100th anniversary of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle‘s first Sherlock Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet. The double-sized issue offers a case that begins in Gotham City but before all is said and done will take Batman and Robin to London to work alongside private-eye Slam Bradley and the Elongated Man to end the plots of Edgar Moriarty (the great-grandnephew of the original Professor Moriarty).

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #3

When you give me Batman in the best design of his costume and Catwoman in the best design of her costume, you have my attention. Dario Brizuela’s art in The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #3 just makes me smile, and Ivan Cohen’s story is quite enjoyable as well playing on long-running Batman and Catwoman relationship that starts with someone impersonating Catwoman in a series of crimes.

Star Wars #56

Staying with stories of Lando Calrissian, Star Wars Saturday takes a look back at Lando’s return to Cloud City. Published one year after The Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars #56 features Lando’s return to the all but abandoned mining colony on Bespin. The only life he finds are his old friend Lobot half out of his mind and a group of Imperials led by the duplicitous Hugo Treece who are struggling in ridding the city of bombs left by the Ugnaughts (who apparently didn’t take kindly to Imperial rule).

Star Wars #44

In a desperate, but ultimately successful, move to save Lobot‘s life, Lando Calrissian‘s treachery in selling information about the Rebel Alliance to Jabba the Hutt has been revealed. Rather than run from the truth, Lando has admitted his crimes. While Admiral Ackbar and General Madine seem perfectly at ease with jettisoning the traitor out of the nearest airlock, Leia makes an impassioned plea for the Rebellion to prove they are better than the Empire setting up a trial over the fate of Lando Calrissian.
