Detective Comics 1007, A Good Conclusion

I previously mentioned that I enjoyed Detective Comics 1006. I said that it was a good start. This is a (slightly belated) follow up.

So I read Detective Comics 1007 and it wasn't bad. No, that's not fair. It was pretty good. My issue with it was that it didn't have a beginning. The beginning was back in the previous issue.

Maybe I'm being picky. It's just that I like comic books to have a whole story in them. That means a beginning, a middle, and an end. This issue only had a middle and an end.

I would even argue that this is a major issue with comic books as a whole. If you can't just pick up an issue of a comic and get right into it how do you expect to pick up new readers? I suspect the answer is that you don't get them interested with individual issues, you sell them trades in the book store. So, the only people that buy the individual comics are the already devoted fans.

Sorry. I was trying to review D.C. 1007 and got a bit off the rails.

Pick up D.C. 1007 if you have 1006 or, if you can, pick up 1006 at the same time. When you put them together they are a fun little story.
