Notes:
(1) I'm in a bit of a "Chronicles of Narnia" situation. Do I read this series in publication order or chronological order?
- I've opted for chronological order because that's how these Netflix Edition trades are laid out, and my OCD won't let me start with a book labelled "Vol. 3."
- Moreover, C.S. Lewis wasn't alive to sign off on which he preferred. Mark Millar is.

Notes:
(1) This Skyfox two-parter is the best of the bunch. Basically, it answers the question, "What if Batman was a billionaire playboy all the time, not just as Bruce Wayne?"
- Of all the vices at the core of these stories, being a juvenile adult may be the most damaging/dangerous.
- Having the power and resources of Batman but acting like the Joker is a bad combination.

Notes:
(1) This all seems quite tame, at least by Mark Millar standards. Though, I think that might be the point.
- Being a closeted homosexual and having an extramarital affair, as scandals, wouldn't have been tame in the '50s and '60s.
(2) This totally feels like a companion book. There's no central story nor any real purpose beyond adding color and context to characters.

Notes:
(1) This started pretty rough. I had a lot of trouble keeping names and faces straight.
- I assume people who read this in publication order wouldn't be as confused.
- A minor annoyance. Once I got it all clear, I read the first issue over and it made better sense.
(2) These superheroes are clearly Justice League analogues.
- I can't match up who Brainwave is though.
