Right I'll try again, doing this on my phone and tge modify timed out before I'd sorted it out.

Basically there's a great review (even mentions our own Nemesis) of the latest Batman comic in todays Guardian (Sat 23rd Feb) , well it covers the whole arc really. Not a trade, not a graphic novel, just a plain old mainstream floppie.

Its a good, full page review as well, not an embarrassed after thought. Seems like a step forward to me?

That said more but doing this twice on the phone is doing my head in!

Thanks for the find, Colin. Someone at The Guardian's writing their comic purchases off as a business expense.

A bizarre choice of comic to pick to review in isolation given the many better books on the shelves right now, but I must say if he thinks that story was Booker material it explains why all them boffins keep complaining about the choice of winners.

Great news Batman #17 has got some mainstream UK press attention, very cool.

Might be worth noting (and someone with the paper double checking) but that online review is significantly to the one in the paper though some elements survive.

Assume the crucial missing word is "different." Yes, quite significantly.
