I don't read a lot of the big 3 in DC because I always figure they're going to be boring by now. But this series has been pretty refreshing, plus I love Jae Lee's art. This story arc was particularly dark and I think it's kind of funny that they named it exactly what it was "Superman's Joker".

You would think exchanges like, "But he's just human, how will he survive?" "He's Batman." would get old, but somehow they don't. Maybe it's because I don't read a ton of Batman.

A strange mistake happened on this one. At the end I read Annual #2 instead of Annual #1, but it segued perfectly with the story arc. Then I read Annual #1 and it was totally unrelated.… (mere)

Moneypenny has been kidnapped and drugged and ordered to tell stories about 007.
These are her stories…

I enjoyed “One Pistol, Three Silencers” the most, with Bond playing the caring uncle to Felix Leiter’s daughter as she attends her prom. A ‘sweet’ side of 007 that rarely comes out! I also enjoyed how tough Moneypenny is in these books!

In addition to those previously mentioned, the new Odd Job,003 and SMERSH appear on these pages. Sort of a James Bond Greatest Hits!

My only negative is that I don't like cliffhanger endings, and that's how the last story, "The Broker", ends. I hope that it is followed up, otherwise, grrrr...… (mere)

“Killing civilians is what ORU does. It confuses the rest of the world. So they go looking for answers in all the wrong places.”

And Goldfinger is ORU PRIME, the leader of ORU. He steals 2 billion dollars in diamonds and an obscene amount of VX nerve gas. He plans to destroy an artificial island near San Francisco (a 1/2 hour from where I live!), thereby killing 3 to 5 percent of the world’s wealth. And I have to admit, the second part of that plan doesn’t sound so bad to me! However, the 13,000 people who live and work on the island don’t deserve that.

Bond teams up with two others to take down Goldfinger and stop the terrorist plot. Not totally sure what happened to ORU PRIME at the end, but he failed this time. Now... will he return?...… (mere)
