Booksehlf #10

Finally, we come to the bottom shelf of the first of my big Ikea bookshelves, which means our tour has now completed two full shelving units. This one's contents consist of the last of the Batman-related comics (at least those acquired between 2012 and 2024 or so), and the comics featuring the next biggest DC characters following Superman and Batman.

The Batman related comics are on the left, and they included the last few alternate universe Batman comics (some Batman '66, the first Batman '89 collection, the only Beware the Batman trade, collecting the six issues of the comic based on the 2013 cartoon), comics starring Batman's allies (Robins, Batgirls, Nightwing, Batwoman, the apparently forgotten Talon, plus a volume of the New 52 Batman/Superman and various Super Sons comics) and comics starring his foes (The Joker, Harley Quinn, Catwoman, Bane). 

To the right are comics featuring the characters I considered the most prominent following the World's Finest, in order of prominence: Wonder Woman, The Flash (well, the Flash/Impulse), Green Lantern, Aquaman, Plastic Man, Captain Marvel, Green Arrow and Black Canary. 

I kind of wish DC would have kept going with those collections of the original Robin ongoing, the one starring Tim Drake and written by Chuck Dixon, as well as the Kyle Rayner Green Lantern comics and Peter David's Aquaman (Although I think the entirety of David's Aquaman run is now available in omnibus format). I would happily add those to my shelves.
