Batman: The Brave and the Bold #10

As with the previous issues of this volume, Batman: The Brave and the Bold #10 offers multiple stories, some being one-offs and others being part of ongoing stories. The highlight of this issue is the first story involving a new Man-Bat, Maps Mizoguchi playing Robin, romance troubles for Bruce Wayne, and some terrific art of Karl Kerschl capturing Batman in all his Bronze Age glory. If you are going to pick up this issue, this is the reason why as the rest of the stories range from middling to fine without another standout.

Resurrection of Magneto #2

Having found Magneto in the weird limbo for mutants, next challenge is to convince him to return to the world of the living. Consumed by his failures over the years, the Magneto she finds a a whiny little bitch who wastes most of the issue refusing her offer of help. For a comic created with the sole purpose of returning Magneto back to the land of the living, Resurrection of Magneto sure is taking its damn sweet time while failing to convince us of anything other than the obvious outcome.

Spidey Super-Stories #32

Spidey Sunday takes us back to the late 70s and the first time Spider-Man met Spider-Woman. The two-part story is a bit bonkers, following the basic formula of a super-hero misunderstanding when Peter and Aunt May arrive in London and Peter discovers a Spider-Woman is on a crime-spree. Suiting up, he tracks down and fights Spider-Woman until he discovers it’s not the same woman committing the crimes, and that an imposter is working for Doc Ock. Teaming up, the pair take down the fake, although Doc Ock gets away (along with any rationale for this bizarre scheme).
