The Tower Part 8 of 12 What a horrible cover. I actually really liked the last cover, the one with Penguin. This one is Batman's mask. U...
The Tower Part 6 of 12 I'm starting to think that 12 parts to tell this story is too long. This issue, as the last couple have been, fee...
The Tower Part 4 of 12 Damn...1,050 issues. That has to be a record, right? Or is there, perhaps, some manga that's gone longer than t...
The Tower Part 1 of 12 This is the first part of a weekly 12 part story called "The Tower." It's weird that it's called that, though, si...

The Tower Part 2 of 12 This issue, like Part 1, is written by Mariko Tamaki and drawn by Ivan Reiss. I wonder how many issues Reiss is g...
