I think most people on here know I'm not the biggest DC guy, I dip my toe... but that's about it. I have money to follow one company and due to my completist nature I try to limit my self. I can't imagine what it must be like to buy both companies big events and tie ins like some people do. Very expensive. Not to mention the fact the history of the DC very confusing and very hard to get a good grasp on without spending alot of money on trades. It's the same with Marvel of course but I'm already in there.
However I picked up Detective Comics #821 after hearing some good things about it... I have to hand it to DC, this is one of the best runs I've read in a long time!
All the issues are done in one stories and written by Paul Dini, the guy behind the Batman Animated Series from a few years back. Don Kramer's art is also excellent, very fitting for the book. Overall you end up with an excellent superhero book with a noir feeling and despite Batman's vast history is very accessible and very entertaining for new and old fans alike.
Everyone should pick up an issue, its a done in one so if you don't like it, the most you loose is $3 compared to the $18 needed to get a complete 6 part story arc.
There is also a rumour Dini is going to be in charge of DC's next weekly series, Countdown.
