My name is Lance and I think you should check out Batman: Ego by Darwyn Cooke.  Originally published in August of 2000 this modern masterpiece has been in print almost non-stop since then.  Written and illustrated by the late Darwyn Cooke, Ego tells the story of one of Bruce Wayne's greatest struggles, "Why is he Batman?"  After a long and particularly brutal night of crime fighting Bruce has a crisis of faith back at the Batcave.  It comes to a head when he sees a giant ghostly Batman appear before him.  The two have a long talk discussing how they got to this point and what it will take to move forward.  Ultimately, both Bat and Bruce give up a little of themselves to make Gotham a better place.

I love, Love, LOVE this book!  It shows the conflict that Batman has with maintaining Gotham's safety at the price of his own sanity.  The back and forth between the two main characters is fluid and Cooke brings them to life with a simple brilliance that is rarely found in any medium.  Seeing someone try to rationalize uber-violence night after night and defining where the line he won't cross stands is riveting.  To me this is a must read for anyone who likes Batman.

It's that simple.  Show up, tell about your favorite book, listen to others and enjoy!  We can't wait for all of you to show us your books!
