Batman: Detective Comics, Issue #950 I picked up because I'm dropping Blue Beetle. It starts the "League of Shadows" arc, and it's written by James Tynion IV, whose work I've enjoyed for years. Marcio Takara does the art, and Dean White does the colors. I particularly enjoyed the lettering by Marilyn Patrizio, notably her use of italics in the narration. I bought the variant cover by Raphael Albuquerque (not shown). It's a solid 48 pages of content to celebrate the milestone of 950 comics in the long-running series.
Now's a good time to jump into Detective Comics, if you haven't already. There are three characters that are new to me featured in this comic, which contains very little of Batman and more of the three. I'd read about Cassandra Cain before, but this was the first time I'd seen her as Orphan. Batwing I'd heard of before but hadn't read, and Azrael is totally new to me. This comic is an excellent introduction to all three characters. Red Robin is also featured, but I'd read plenty of him before, notably in the New 52 version of Teen Titans. Anyway, read this. It's one of the good ones.
