[dailycass-cain]

Balancing real-life stuff so I couldn't do this over the weekend. So tonight here are my thoughts on Detective Comics #1087 (all of it, main story and side).

Cass's appearance in the main story is brief but still has a great weight around it. There's just something I love of Ram V where every small moment still has overtones to everything that's gone on in his run.

Every side character on this quest Batman has been through gets to shine. It hits me with utter 😄seeing the payoffs occurring in this run that have been built here or throughout other stories. These payoffs are just SOOO good and these aren't even the "end" ones.

For Cass, it's being her and just not giving up. STILL fighting, still honoring the bat symbol, and the legacy of the Batman. Aka reasons why we love this character 101.

ust the way she's introduced in the issue? chef's kiss

That extra added, "Oh they boned and know it." just by the added panel of Cass's eyes narrowing. SOOOOOO good I was little squeeing in gittiness at it. Something that's consistently happening since 2020. 😊

Likewise, you can feel that "ending" coming as Batman readies his schemes, the Orghams entering their's, Gotham too, and of course the twist we all saw coming given last issue with one other party throwing their hand too.

I'm really curious to where this all goes from here on out, and honestly I feel like a broken record but I cannot wait to see the payoffs. Like I know and feel these are all gonna be earned.

Oh sure, we might get a reset on some (Two-Face and Mr. Freeze), but man; Ram V's characterizations of both are leaving an impression on me. Something for me to continue spouting top of my lungs, "This is kino and enjoy the ride." to anyone who hasn't picked it up.

The art by Christian Duce and Stefano Raffaele is just 🔥 with the coloring by Luis Guerrero just stunning too. DC since 2020 has been killing it with the colorists they've got sprinkled throughout their books. Just makes everything the artists draw pop more.

What else can I say of the main story? Other than it just keeps delivering every month. But hey we're getting more kino with Ram V with the New Gods. That's gonna be great and curious to see where he goes with that.

The secondary story is something I've been hoping to see since the character showed up in this run, and that was some Jean-Paul Valley goodness, and not only do we get this here.

We get Dan Watters back on writing him. Oh sure, he couldn't get Nikola back, but hey Francesco Francavilla on it? Oooooh sign me up! Seeing his Cass was a delight at long last.

The story itself is just rooted in SOOO much back lore with Dick and Jean-Paul. You can take it as the perfect case to their history with one another (and it isn't pretty). I'm kind of glad we got this in the story to show this wasn't forgotten.

That this isn't just a united heirs to Bruce working together. There's still some stuff there from past that causes spite and mistrust (aka KnightsEnd).

In that regard, Dick is right to be this way. He's given Jean-Paul multiple passes and well every time Jean-Paul fell back to the conditioning he went through.

But again, Cass being Cass. Her coda is stone. "You can change. You can." Even when she was at the brunt of it too, she still that beacon holding for that hope this is the time Jean-Paul defeats his inner demons for good.

Again, it's a nice balance between the three characters. An actual reason Dick would be no trusting, and Cass being, "TRUST HIM." Given all she's been with Jean-Paul due to No Man's Land. I wasn't expecting this to be remembered on my 2024 comic bingo card.

That's something I wish someone would dig further into. That Cass could be that rock for Jean-Paul, kind of like how Steph is for Jason currently. Or Oynx was for Cass (kind of hoping that this is revisited on when she arrives in BoP) or currently Cass bonding hard with Barda.

Again, layers upon layers here. Why I enjoy this run currently for all of this.

Detective Comics #1087 continues the ride and makes me appreciate this run even more. Like, again this feels different to me. To have Cass entwined to a modern Batman epic?

Oh sure she has sprinkles in Batman runs or past Tec runs. But here? Not just the fan service appearance but characterization and history.

All the reasons why people love this character are all here. Leaving me ☺️🥺every single time I read an issue of this run. I can't wait to have the whole thing collected and just read it all.

Gonna be great.

Audrey Watters

[thevindicativevordan]

favorite era of superman comics?

Right now. His mainline books are both good for the first time since Busiek/Johns. Waid's quality has been dipping, but his World's Finest has been a very lovely portrayal of that friendship for me, and I think the upcoming Kingdom Come arc might reinvigorate the book. We've got a great lineup of Elseworld Superman books with Space Age, Last Days of Lex Luthor, Lost, and '78: The Metal Curtain. Watters wrote the first enjoyable Doomsday story for me in ages with that special, and Casey's Kneel Before Zod series aiming to make Zod into the Dr. Doom of the DCU sounds like a great direction for Zod. Not to mention both Williamson and PKJ are actually trying to use the Rogues in new ways, with Williamson's Livewire being the best since Mark Millar's take on her in the Superman Adventures comic, and PKJ's use of Mongul and Metallo unlocking those characters' potential for me. Steelworks and Superboy: Man of Tomorrow are solid if nothing extraordinary, Kenan is getting some backups written by Yang, Power Girl has a new series coming, and Supergirl has a special that might lead into a new ongoing. Next year we will get a Brainiac event which will hopefully be the first "good" Superman event since... hell I don't know. Death/Reign/Return? Right now is the strongest the Superman line has ever been.

There's no way it can last. We already have a huge weak spot in Jon Kent, who is unsalvageable at this point, and apparently Taylor is still going to be writing him in upcoming books. Maybe Knight Terrors being shit will derail the line, or hurt the sales for the upcoming Brainiac event. Hell despite the buildup I can't even promise the Brainiac event will be good. Williamson is 0/2 when it comes to events, and he's writing so many books I expect he will either burn out and depart some, or suffer a decline in quality. Waid's World Finest is on a downward trajectory quality-wise and if the upcoming Kingdom Come arc isn't the shot in the arm I'm hoping for, I'll drop it. Up next, both Williamson and PKJ are doing arcs where Superman loses his powers, and fighting OCs (I have a strong suspicion who are the real villains of Action's next arc and am excited for that at least).

Not to mention the elephant in the room: only reason Superman is getting a push right now is because of Legacy. If that tanks, I don't know what will happen. Instead of worrying about the future, I choose to enjoy the current line for as long as it lasts. Just let Williamson and PKJ get to do proper endings for their runs, that's all I ask.
