Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #181

Posted on October 17, 2010 by Phil

Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne #5 (of 6) — Writer: Grant Morrison;  Art: Ryan Sook and Mick Gray; Pere Perez Um… yeah, so a bunch of DC books out this week are one-shots set after the return of Bruce Wayne, but here we have a very late issue #5 of 6 of said “return,” and he ain’t quite back yet (if it wasn’t obvious from the beginning, now I guess we know how it’s all gonna turn out, eh?).

I’m going through the alphabet backwards (don’t ask), and at my speed (especially with the school year now in full gear), this amounts to a two-year project. I’m currently on the Marvel “M” stuff, and here are some of the titles I’ve been encountering: Marvel Universe (Official Handbook of the…) Most of the overstock we have on these are from the two ’80s collections.
