I have not read much of Batman comics from DC Comics that was published since 2020 since like many things with post 2020 things have gotten weird but I made an exception with this comic book and I’m glad I did read this one on Batman the detective with the story by Tom Taylor. I enjoyed it since many Batman comics is heavily about fighting action rather than a “mystery” story, which is interesting since Batman is supposed to be a detective of sorts. But this story here is a detective story where Batman is trying to solve a mystery of whose behind a certain rampage of crime and murder.

Is there a part of the Bible you wished you had a better grasp on? The last few years I realized I need to give better study to 1-2 Kings and I imagine many Christians might feel the same way about this part of the Bible. Fortunately there’s a resource that can help Christians go through 1-2 Kings and filled with insights and observation from the biblical text itself while also giving the occasional background information and original language observation. This commentary not only has exegetical observations but also sections that are geared towards preaching and teaching. This dual feature is the key characteristic of this Bible commentary series called “Kerux Commentaries” which is published by Kregel Publications. The book actually has two authors, with the exegetical portions by Old Testament professor David Schreiner and the homiletical portion by a pastor name Lee Compson.
