Detective Comics/The Legend of Wonder Woman

I'll be the first to say I'm Marvel all the way but recently I've found my comic cravings drifting towards DC to get my satisfaction of a good story. I've tried a few of their titles to start off with but one of the ones I enjoy the most is perhaps a surprising one; their namesake: Detective Comics.




I started by randomly picking up DC #45-#46 when I was in the mood for some Batman but didn't like the look of the current Bats line-up. I went in with an open mind but probably still wasn't prepared for how out there the story was. My perception of DC has thus far been epic stories only, Batman: Year One/Knightfall/Death in the Family, etc. I didn't expect such an unhinged story arc. First off Gordon is Batman now, and he wears lot of different suits.

That's about as much as you need to know to get maximum enjoyment out of this title since the stories are anything and everything. DC #46 was about a mythical snow-giant/alien...thing where the Justice League gets involved. DC #48 (this month's offering) is about... George Washington. Like I said, unhinged. It's exactly what I was looking for, especially since everything Marvel seems to be graniose story arcs (Parker Industries anyone?) or incredibly mundane story arcs (Hellcat and She Hulk...), DC provided a decent, well, detective story.
Coincidentally the three I picked up are the ones written by Peter J. Tomasi (the only other one he wrote was #27!). So it could be a case that I'm a Tomasi fan and never realised it!

On another note I picked up The Legend of Wonder Woman #1 last week by Renae De Liz and her husband (whom she met at San Diego Comic-Con!) Ray Dillon. It was my first time reading Wonder Woman and I loved, instantly hooked.
