An oversized issue celebrating Batman, Detective Comics #1100 includes four separate stories from four separate creative teams. The opening silent story presented without dialogue (and featuring the Dark Knight Detective’s use of sign language), “Lost & Found,” features Batman coming across a hearing-impaired kid and helping him find his missing dog (with a little help from Ace the Bat-Hound) taken by some gangbangers. A terrific tale from writer Tom Taylor and artist Mikel Janín, it’s the standout story and is worth the price of the issue all on its own.

Nine Puzzles – Episode 5

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Nine Puzzles – Episode 5
  • IMDb: link

Episode 5 primarily deals with Yoon E-na (Kim Da-mi) and Kim Han-saem (Son Suk-ku) working the poisoning of a factory worker whose son died in an industrial accident a year prior. Although the pair solve the case, E-na isn’t troubled by motives she doesn’t understand. In terms of the larger puzzle mystery, the episode will also start a trend of one or the other visiting Miyoung (Aria Song) while attempting to connect the various puzzle victims together. Their work on unmasking the unlikely killer in the poisoner case finally finishes building trust between the pair leading to them to look at the larger case in earnest together while working out of Han-seam’s apartment. And while their connection still isn’t clear, although a big clue will be discovered next episode, E-na deposits a theory as to why the seemingly unrelated victims may have all been targeted.
