Who is Singularity Jane?  Yeah, keep wondering because even though we'll get an entire issue of her here, I still couldn't tell you anything about her or why she even does what she does, but before we get to that; let me catch you up on what's been going down in Green Lanterns.  In our previous issue, we saw Bolphunga the Unrelenting come to Earth because he needed the Green Lanterns' help.  I don't know why he came to Simon or Jessica, but he did because he was tasked with killing his father in return for his release from the Sciencells on Mogo, but once it seemed that he couldn't go through with killing his father Boff, Singularity Jain, who made the deal with Bolphunga, came a callin'.  Let's jump into this issue and check it out.

In The Dead Of The Night

Written by: Steve Orlando
Art by: Giavanni Timpano
Colours by: Flavio Dispenza
Letters by: Taylor Esposito
Published by: Dynamite Entertainment and DC Comics
Price: $3.99


Despite the odd bit of wonky storytelling, the ongoing exploration of the relationship between DC’s most iconic non-powered hero and the pulp giant on which his character is based continues to be an engrossing and, more often than not, entertaining read. In the first series featuring Batman and The Shadow, we saw the pair in Gotham and the mythical environs of Shamba-La. In this, the third issue of their second adventure, we see them in the setting of the boardroom of Wayne Enterprises as they try to make a dent in the nefarious vast criminal empire of the Silent Seven (or, if we’re being honest, two). Batman and The Shadow as vigilantes of the stock market? Alright, then…
