A Robin's Last Stand in Detective Comics #940?
Today I'm launching a weekly series that will unveil what I consider to be the very best comic published this week. I'll be casting my eye across the entire Marvel and DC range, and beyond, to the smaller, independent publishers you may otherwise miss. For this first week, though, there isn't even any competition. Detective Comics #940 - the conclusion of "Rise of the Batmen" - is hands-down one of the best comics I've read in a long, long time.

Could 'Doctor Strange' Finally Unite Marvel's Movies and TV Shows?
"Everything's connected." Those two words sum up the core concept of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: that everything, from the movies to the TV series to the tie-in comics, all occurs in a single shared universe. That's great in theory, but the reality has proved very different. Even the cast of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. — which is soon to return for Season 4 — have openly expressed their frustration that the films never "acknowledge" them. Although this is the case at present, there are promising signs that Doctor Strange may finally achieve the impossible and draw the MCU together like never before...

Robbie Reyes Isn't the Only Ghost Rider on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Johnny Blaze Makes an Appearance
The most recent episode of Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't turn out the way once thought. After learning that the episode, "The Good Samaritan," would be an origin story for Robbie Reyes, it was assumed that Robbie Reyes would be telling a story identical to the comics, which depicted Robbie allowing the spirit of serial killer Eli Morrow to possess his body and become the Ghost Rider. However, that's not how it played out on #AgentsOfSHIELD.

We already know that this version of Spider-Man is very, very different to anything we've seen before; Tom Holland's Peter Parker is younger than both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, and we're set for some high school hijinx with Michael Keaton's Vulture.
