It’s time for another
installment of Talkin’ Tom King! I mean… Wayne Manor Memoirs. This
time Joe and Kendall revisit some of the one-shot (single issue)
stories from Tom King’s run on Batman. There are some great books
in this selection, including two of their FAVORITE COMICS from
King. Why? How?! What is the role of a one-shot in an ongoing story
arc? Why are these single issues so effective when they are
essentially comic book short stories? Joe & Kendall do their
best to answer these questions while expounding on the virtues of
character driven storytelling. If that wasn’t enough, we get the
best team-ups that NO ONE asked for… Batman & Elmer Fudd. Take
back that eye roll Bat-Fanatics, this book is SHOCKINGLY good.
So give a “Hell Yeah”
as you strap on your body-kite, make sure your butler/father has
the best equipment for cleaning up swamp detritus, and prepare for
bountiful (possibly biased) praise to be heaped upon Tom King.
