Pick of the Week: August 6, 2008

Posted by Stephanie Cox Aug 9, 2008

Batman's "The Last Good Day" is the second issue of a 5-issue story arch by writer Paul Dini and artists Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs.

The issue stands out among other titles because, in addition to continuing the events of the latest Black Glove and Hush chronicles, the issue is as an interesting self-contained story. The panels are beautifully composed and the smooth narrative style reveals a glimpse of Bruce Wayne's back story plus uncovers the haunting, morbid motive behind this issue's villain.

If you only have $3 to spend at the comic shop this week, Detective Comics #847 is your best bet! Tune in next week for August 13's Comic Book Pick of the Week!
