1. The Court of Owls is Coming To An End
DC Comics rebooted all of its comics back to issue #1 last September to allow new readers to get in on the ground floor, free from the shackles of continuity. Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo kicked off the Batman reboot with their Court of Owls story arc, which has received nothing but praise over its 11 issue run. That arc comes to an end this week, to be followed by one-and-done-issue #12 and subsequently, the start of a new story arc from Snyder and Capullo. Given the duos fantastic work with the Court and the fact that a major villain is returning for the new Death of the Family arc, theres no reason to think the new storyline will be anything less than stellar. You can pick up the first 7 issues of the Court of Owls in trade paperback now though, and youd be mad to miss it. Click "next" below to read the next entry...
