The Spotlight...
- MAR090138 BATMAN CONFIDENTIAL #29 $2.99
Following on from a previous arc in Confidential, the series devises a new villain, born from the chaos wrought by the clown prince of crime - the Joker!
One of his law enforcement victims will recover from his torture session to return to Gotham City as the latest of it's criminally insane. Batman will have his hands full as he attempts to minimize the damage in this timeless tale. You've got to wonder if the Joker might not been in for a little what goes around, comes around. Hey, it's all good. Madness loves company!

- MAR092611 DEADPOOL SUICIDE KINGS #2 (OF 5) $3.99
It's hard not to be cynical when a character bounces off appearances in a movie to get a bunch of series and mini-series. In the case of Deadpool, this phenomenon enduces a roll from both eyes, not only spawning several spin-off comics, but also the promise of a solo film. I can't personally speak to the quality of any of these products, but the prospect of a Deadpool/Punisher shoot-out is a little bit more than I can turn a blind eye to. Not a bad running buddy for the core-title, which currently has the 'Poolman dicing with Bullseye!

- MAR090129 FINAL CRISIS AFTERMATH ESCAPE #1 (OF 6) $2.99
Unfortunately, with all the weekly distractions, the Infinite Wars just hasn't had time to go back and revisit the blockbuster epic that was Final Crisis. Arguably one of the best events of the past decade, DC are finally rolling out four books detailing the quirky and unique aftermath of that world-changing event! After last week's Run! jumped out of the gates quite well, it'll be interesting to see how one of the late developments in Final Crisis - the Global Peace Agency - manage to develop in the DCU-proper!

- MAR090155 GREEN LANTERN CORPS #36 $2.99
The War of Light is well under way as Lanterns of the various spectrum fields clash within the sciencell prison blocks of Oa! Lives will be lost as the raging Red Lantern, Vice, continues to rip through prisoners and guards indescriminately! All this, PLUS: Sinestro arrives of Oa to confront his daughter, the Green Lantern, Soranik Natu! Mongul continues to evade detection as he seizes control of the Sinestro Corps! And the Daxamite wielder of the Ion power, Sodam Yat, prepares to battle the sinister forces that attempted to enslave his people! If there's a centre of the comics universe right now, it might just be Green Lantern Corps, home of the War of Light and the Prelude to Blackest Night!

- MAR092457 SAVAGE DRAGON #148 $3.50
I can already tell you this was a fantastic issue! Afterall, I read it at the beginning of the month thanks to the always exciting promotional blitz of FREE COMIC BOOK DAY. Larsen takes the license free Lev Gleason character, Daredevil, out for a more traditional run than the re-titled Death-Defying Devil of Dynamite Entertainment. It's an action-packed tale setting up key plot points for a big upcoming chapter in the Savage Dragon epic and would ordinarily be well worth the purchase! Of course, the fact that the issue was offered as a FCBD giveaway raises a lot of questions about services rendered and what the customer is paying for. With global financial situations in flux and comics prices rising with periodic regularity, the pricetag is becoming a bigger issue than it already was. Readers who missed out might consider $3.50 the price for service, but I don't think you could begrudge them for a little bit of disgruntled moaning.
