Amazing Psycamorean reviewed Batman: One Bad Day: Ra's Al Ghul #1 Mar 21, 2023
I'll admit, I was not looking forward to reading this issue. I just don't really think Ra's Al Ghul is interesting, at least not usually. But this is great.

We see why he's so motivated, instead of that b more

Here you can see Edward Nashton evolve into the menace known as the Riddler. How did an unknown forensic accountant uncover the dark ...

No, no, no, no, NO!
Comic Watch's Matt Meyer says, and I quote: "Avengers #50 knocks it out of the park on all levels. Don't let the price tag scare you away - this is rip-roaring superheroics at their very best."
'At their very best', he states, and yet he only marks it as an 8.9...What is better than the 'very best'?
