Snyder=Good Reading

I haven't had a chance to read Scott Snyder's run at the end of Detective Comics last year,but I do have them all and can't wait.The reason is that Snyder has been writing the relaunched Batman book and has caught my interest in 4 issues more than any writer has on the main Bat title in years.He has given Bruce Wayne,Batman and Gotham a powerful foe in the Court of Owls,a mysterious society behind the city's deepest darkest inner workings.The story has utilized all the aspects of a good Bat story at once,focusing on the detective work,sprinkling on some superheroics for good measure,and adding a truly creepy factor.When Batman discovers where the Court of Owls have been hiding for years and years,the hair stood up on my arms.Now the Bat,who himself relies on being an urban myth,must figure out what a foe who most think is just a macabre nursery rhyme,wants and why Bruce Wayne has been targeted for death by them.Great reading.
