Wish List: Fashion Forward
Another year stretches ahead of us and I am taking a couple of days to note the things that excite me most in 2010. First on my list is The Return of Bruce Wayne, scheduled as a six-issue series written by Grant Morrison and starting in April of this year. Morrison's already said in interviews that it does have some "subtle connections" with Batman and Robin and that they complement one another but this is not DC's big universe-shaper for 2010 and I couldn't be happier. (That's looking to be the War of the Supermen thing they're doing for Free Comic Book Day, which honestly doesn't interest me in the least.)
Watching Bruce Wayne slog back to life across different times and different technology levels is going to be some tasty stuff. Morrison has spoken repeatedly about his efforts to strip Bruce Wayne down to his most primitive state and I can see this as Morrison unwinding the spiral of that work.
Of course, what does this mean for Detective Comics, which is so vastly more interesting now that it's about Batwoman? Greg Rucka has recently said in interviews that he and J.H. Williams III will be doing a new Batwoman series set to launch sometime this year. Rucka has already said they're planning a 12-issue arc. A year of Batwoman is a good year indeed and this is easily tied with Bruce Wayne's return as my most anticipated book of the year.
That said, there actually are books set in places other than Goth City that I read and enjoy. Tomorrow, two books that have nothing to do with Batwoman or Batman and yet give me warm fuzzies when I think about what the year has in store for them.
That's just me, though. What turns your crank in 2010?
