Batman #2

After stepping in to help Gotham and Gotham Girl stop Solomon Grundy, Batman agrees to give Gotham City’s two new super-heroes a few pointers. This includes introducing the pair to Commissioner Gordon for the first time. Other than the fight at the beginning of the issue Batman #2 doesn’t offer much in the way of action, but there’s plenty of slow-boiling story here for Bat-fans. It also gives us the first appearance of a classic Batman villain for the first time since the Rebirth reboot. I’ll be curious to see just what Hugo Strange is up to and how he ties into the monsters and suicide attacks around Gotham City. Worth a look.

[DC, $2.99]

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy - Welcome Home

The search for the Cosmic Seed leads Peter Quill (Will Friedle) and Cosmo (James Arnold Taylor) to Earth with Korath (Dave Fennoy) on their heels. Separated from the rest of the Guardians, Star Lord and the telepathic dog will have to deal with Korath and his soldiers alone with their only help coming from Peter’s childhood bully. Cosmo is one of my favorite Guardians, so it’s nice to see him back in action here. Despite his army, Korath continues to be a rather uninteresting villain. Quill’s return home, however, does have its moments, especially concerning Cosmo’s attempts to blend in and later following the arrival of the rest of the Guardians.

Eureka - Many Happy Returns

Set immediately following the events of the show’s “Pilot,” the second episode of the series opens with the funeral for Walter (Rob LaBelle) and Susan Perkins (Jennifer Clement) which seems common enough, at least until a very alive Susan walks into the police station later that same night. And, just to make things even more bizarre, an odd apparition begins appearing around town. Who says there’s no such thing as ghosts? By the end a reasonable explanation (or what passes for reasonable in Eureka) for both occurences will be given allowing a young boy (Zak Ludwig) to be reunited with his parents.
