Despite its unfortunate contemporary associations with
crystal balls, tarot cards and newspaper horoscopes, there is
nothing inherently magical or superstitious about the zodiac.
It is merely a belt of constellations which straddle the
ecliptic.
Since the dawn of time man has used these constellations
and the celestial bodies to map both time and geography,
and the stories attached to these movements began to take
on mythologies across the world. The Greek gods,
Hercules, Apollo and Dionysus are all examples of these
solar entities.
This book explores the astrotheological origins of the
Ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern faiths; Mithraism,
Judaism and Christianity. It aims to show how these sisterfaiths
all sought salvation through the celestial bodies, and
adopted the astral stories of their ancestors as the
fundamental basis of their religion.

Why the revisionism?
Format: Paperback
I kinda want to give this a try but I dislike that the artist chose to change Robin's costume. What is this? Dick Grayson Robin always wore the same costume, so why is a "throwback" story using new uniforms? (Batman's is also not quite the original.) I guess modern readers just think the classic togs are "silly," but that's on them. Respect the material, comics creators! Or leave it alone.

Simply magnificent
Format: Kindle
A new perspective on an old and familiar story. The art is outstanding. The story is compelling. It needs to be a regular ongoing series. DC...please handle this. Thanks.

Probably the best thing to come out of the "New 52" reboot
Format: Paperback
In general, I'm not a big fan of the new 52 reboot of the DC universe. On the other hand, it produced this really interesting investigation of the iffy morality and general maladjustment and emotional fallout caused by the "child soldier" issue of the multiple underage vigilantes in the Batman family of comic books. The scripting for this story is excellent, in that it makes clear the broad range of personalities represented by the 4 Robins, Bluebird, Spoiler, and Black Bat (who isn't named as such in this particular story for some reason), and aside from that the art is really gorgeous. I think this may very well be the best thing to come out of the new 52 reboot.
