Detective Comics 2025 Annual #1 review

Oh thank the stars, a done-in-one Batman story and it is really good. Given this is a Detective Comics issue I probably shouldn’t be surprised, but this tale sees our hero collecting clues in a bid to solve a very intriguing mystery. It’s the god’s honest Darknight Detective at his very best. Sure, there’s a […]
