    One of the more pleasant surprises this month. While James Tynion's Batman work has never really appealed to me, his Detective Comics run is off to good start. The main premise is a little 90s (it's hard to explain without including spoilers), but the idea of a Gotham boot-camp is sold well in this first issue. Tynion primarily focuses on the interactions between Batwoman and Batman, and their recruiting process. The issue moves relatively quickly, but there is a good amount of content to keep readers satisfied. The biggest surprise and the book's X-Factor is the induction of Clayface into the team. Tynion and Eddy Barrows deserve credit for making all of the Clayface scenes standout. Speaking of Eddy Barrows, his art on this book was stellar. It's dramtically dark, and beautifully colored by Eber Ferreira. It's a great looking book. Tynion's run gets off to a promising start with this issue.
