"The Clover Comics Gazette"
this is Dustin your main writer wishing everyone a happy "New Comic Book Day" it was an amazing N.C.B.D. this week and I have my five pull-list books to share with you today! Thanks so much to everyone for reading and viewing my youtube videos, very nice to see views and comments for all of my hard work. Enjoy!
"Superman / Batman" #72
Writen By: Paul Levitz
Artist: Jerry Ordway
Cover By: Fabrizio Fiorentino
Preview:
With Superman out saving the world Bruce is left to try to pull Clark Kent's main squeeze out of the fire. Superman may feel responsible foro saving the whole Universe, but will that desire destroy Superman/Clark Kent's reason to l,ive? Lex Luther is up to his old tricks again and a group of monks just may reenact the "Salem Witch Trials" with Lois.
Review:
Review: This book for me is a pull list drop; I've finally decided to do it. The story by Levitz and illustrations by Fabrizio are well done, unfortunately for me this book has gone too far away from the Dark Knight and made Superman the main event. The stories are too focused on Superman and make Batman look like a side kick. If Superman is your favorite this is the right series for you, but if you like living in Gotham then don't bother!

"Batman: Streets of Gotham" #12
Written By: Paul Dini, Dustin Nguyen, and Derek Fridoffs
Illustrated by: Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridoffs
Preview:
Batman becomes a side not as a tale is wound around "The Carpenter" a young lady who designs secret hideouts for all the most shady of Gotham. Mysterious antagonist, The Broker, has plans to have the carpenter create elaborate traps and video surveillance to record the death of heroes, but she may be designing her own fate as well. Among other things does Damian actually have a heart for the person who saved his life?
Review:
We have two well known creators working on the year anniversary monthly of this fairly new Batman series. With Dini and Nguyen working on both sides of the playing field this story would be hard pressed to fail. Add in the proposition that the namesake, Batman, barely makes a cover appearance and the story still stands up. Stories like this is something only legendary creators can pull off! Can't wait to get the final part of this. Go grab it NOW!

"Azrael" #8
Written By Fabian Nicieza
Illustrated by: Ramon Bachs and John Stanisci
Preview:
Michael Lane might not have know it at the time, but his faith at an early age, coupled with a trip to the Gotham City Museum of Natural History foretells his future as Azrael. Cryptic messages and a guiding hand from a "White Ghost" weave a "Divinci Code" esque store which leads you to believe that Michael's "Faith" may be the sin that dooms Azrael.
Review:
This book for me is one of my favorites, it definitely has a lot of critics and I think that helps me appreciate it even more for what it is. For only being 8 issues old the story is well developed and intriguing. Though a character I knew very little of from his connection to the Batman Universe, this storyline is in depth but simple to under stand. Great book, great time to jump on board!

"Zatanna" #1
Written By: Paul Dini
Cover By: Stephane Roux
Preview:
Zatanna #1 follows the journey of "Stage Magician Zatanna" to the Zatanna who deals with things beyond the scope of reality. A friendly cop who is in way over his head will need the help of Zatanna to have any hope of finding the responsible parties for a mass murder. Brother Night has been shut down by Zatanna, so it may take some digging to get far enough into the underworld to find help!
Review:
Paul Dini again outdoes himself with this first issue of Zatanna and it's so nice of him to swing for the fence. Stephane Roux illustrates Zatanna perfectly and tastefully to complimen tthe background images. The story itself reminds me of "Charmed" where you have the supernatural character linked to a mortal who is left to explain situations that the truth can not reveal. Couldn't ask for anything more from a number one! Go Grab This, great series ahead, all aboard!

PICK OF THE WEEK!
"The Walking Dead" #72
written by: Robert Kirkman
Preview:
The crew is finally starting to let their guard down in this new found paradise. However, Carl doesn't seem as keen, even as a boy, to let his guard down. Going back to normal life may be easier for some then others and the new sheriff in town might not be as excited about letting his guard down as he is making people think. Too good to be true is usually way too good especially dealing with "The Walking Dead".
Review:
As promised a month ago in "Walking Dead" #71 the group at Image is back on schedule. This book being the only non-DC book I'm reading at the moment it is refreshing take to the huge budget of any Marvel or DC comic. The writers, illustrators, and editors make it easy to realize why this book is so popular. It feels like all of the work is done just for the fans and like the crew is your friend and not your bookie. Along with a surpise mention of the new AMC orginal for "Walking Dead" due out sometime this year. The book tells a great indepth story even without slamming each page with a mass amount of text. This book is amazing, definitely one of my top three favorite titles!
