Batman and Robin Vol 5: Big Burn by Peter J. Tomasi

107019It has been awhile since I have read a good Two-Face story. My favorite is still Face the Face which is where Harvey Dent has had surgery to heal his face and he is whole once again. The challenge then becomes is Two-Face really gone now that the scaring has healed? It was a pretty good story. In this book we get a little history lesson about Harvey Dent and I really liked it. We get to see how he became District Attorney and the New 52 twist on how he became Two-Face. There is even a little history about Bruce and his relation ship with the now head of a crime family. 

Two-Face wants revenge on the woman who killed his wife right in front of him before turning him into Two-Face. The woman is in town to kill Two-Face and tie up loose ends and Batman is stuck in the middle.

I liked this book but compared to the last couple volumes I read this wasn't as good. I am always happy to have a good Two-Face story and this delivers. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars. There is one little thing at the end of the book. It is a single issue about Dick Greyson's first week as Robin. It is a great, well written story that is heartfelt and perfect to end the book with. This was actually my favorite part of the book. This is part of the reason this book didn't get 5 stars. I liked the single issue toss in better than the main story of the book. Still, this is worth reading.

A-Z Reading Survey

On one of the blogs I follow I saw this and thought it sounded like a lot of fun. I decided to follow the link to the A-Z Meme . I also decided to check out the blog this came from and really liked it. What kind of blogger would I be if I didn't give credit where it is due? This is from The Perpetual Page-Turner , and her blog is pretty cool. So here are her questions and my answers. A uthor you’ve read the most books from: Jeffery Deaver is the author that I have read the most books from. If you checked out my all about me post you would know that his books are the reason I am the avid reader I am. Michael Connelly and Steven King would be a close second. Still have a lot of King to read.   B est Sequel Ever:  What a good question. Currently the only one I can think of is the Lord of the Rings Tow Towers. That is my favorite book of the series. C urrently Reading: Currently I am listening to Storm Fron by Richard Castle, and reading Sons of Moriarty and More St

Welcome to Horrorwood: The Silver Scream 2

Ice Nine Kills Welcome to the bar, pull up a stool and get ready to rock out!!! Since this is my favorite month out of the year, I’m hitting the reviews hard with everything spooky. I will get to the rest of the blog, sports, whiskey, and other books and movie reviews eventually.  This album came out October 15th and I have been waiting for this release a long time. Here is the great thing about Ice Nine Kills. Not only are they a kick ass metal band, but they have taken the horror genre to a whole new level. Their music is clever and the perfect complement to the classic horror movies fans love. I fell in metal love with these guys with their last album the Silver Scream. Ice Nine Kills writes songs based on the plots of horror movies. As Spencer says in “Hip to Be Scared” When the Silver Scream came out I think they really came into their own commercially and artistically.” No one could have said it better than the lead singer.  Some of my favorite songs before this album where Ameri

Follow me Friday- Funny Fav Pic

Feature Follow is the day of the week that we get to know each other and make some new friends. This is graciously put on by our hosts  Parajunkee  and  Alison Can Read . Each week there is one blog featured by each host and a question to help us break the ice and open discussion. Since I am new to blogging I don't currently have a preference as to how you follow me. Feel free to follow through bloglovin, email, or GFC. I'm not picky just happy to have the company.   This weeks question is:  This week is an activity: Bookagram: Photograph your fave read in a funny place. I have to admit that I was so lost as to what type of picture I should take. Yes, I know it was supposed to be funny but I was still at a loss. I asked my wife what I should do and she asked me if I still knew how to tie a noose. Don't judge me I was a weird teen. Anyway she said I should hang my favorite book in homage to Halloween. I decided to take this a step further.
