Happy New Year! Unfortunately, our reunion hits a somber note, as Ward Hill Terry (Stop Calling Him Frank!) joins Shawn and Paul to mourn the loss of Aunt Kathy.   But we do get some crack detective work by Robin, if not by the HUPD.  Witness an amazing balancing act by Jason Bard in the return of Man-Bat to these pages!  After a dessert of leftover Christmas cookies, we also see a foreign national burglarize Barbara’s apartment! And alas, we get the last chapter of the Demon’s Eternity Book saga! Stock up on those snacks – you’ll need them!

This month, join Shawn, Paul, and special guest Chris Franklin at the revamped Wayne Family Gardens!  We move over to Detective Comics and share some corned beef on rye and carrot cake as we get Marshall Rogers, Jim Starlin, and Don Newton (twice!) on art in this issue. The PI firm of Bard and Langstrom gets off the ground, and Babs visits China!  Robin battles the Raven (no, not that one!) as Batman rides the rails (literally) and then comes face to face with a nemesis from his father’s past! You won’t want to miss this one!
