Batman and the Outsiders #1 (DC)
Bryan Hill (w) Dexter Soy (a)
Somewhat delayed from it's original solicitation the latest incarnation of Batman and the Outsiders hit the shelves this week. A somewhat messy comic it has turned out to be. I'm a fan of Batman but his supporting cast, except maybe Cassandra who made a great Batgirl are are somewhat disappointing. The arts a bit off-putting and the story average. Can't see me staying with this one for long.

Red Sonja & Vampirella meet Betty & Veronica #1 (Dynamite)
Amy Chu (w) Maria Sanapo (w)
Being a big fan of inter-company crossovers this comic was a must buy for me and I was not disappointed. I am a big fan of both Red Sonja and Vampirella (who's 50th anniversary takes place this year) and the revamping of the Archie line of characters has made their comics well worth picking up.
Vampirella and Red Sonja arrive in Riverdale looking for answers to what seems to have something to do with vampires and seek out the mortuary. It just happens that Betty and Veronica are also breaking in and the two pairs of ladies meet for the first time.
Going undercover in Riverdale High using Veronica's outfits and daddy's influence is going to be a treat and in the classroom Red meets a certain red-headed bot but as Betty says cheekily to the readers:
"That's our friend Archie, but this is our story not his."
Nice touch.
