The Motorcycle Diaries by Ernesto "Che" Guevara
The hooks are obvious: charismatic revolutionary Che Guevara on a continent spanning motorcycle trip of South America. However, this book is by Ernesto Guevera, a 23 year old middle-class medical student looking for a break from his studies, and the motorcycle doesn't last through two countries. It is a rare glimpse into the young mind of a major cultural revolutionary. The book is also a unique look into the everyday life of South America in the middle of the 20th century. The point of view is of sons of privilege wandering the countryside and living off the land. Sometimes they are encountering the workers and experiencing their simple hospitality and honest struggles. At other times, they rely on their social class and education to open doors to more polite society. What I found compelling about this book is that in such a brief work the author was able to present a sweeping portrait of South American life. it was, for me, a wonderfully human introduction to the people and lands of this vast continent.

Batman: Bruce Wayne Fugitive Vol.1
Be sure to pick up "Bruce Wayne - Murderer?" before ordering this book. That's where you'll get all the exposition (Bruce is framed for murder, goes to prison, breaks out, etc.). That book is spotty, but still worth picking up. It has so many writers on it, there doesn't seem to be a single vision for the book. On to this book, "Fugitive #1"... This book is much, much better. We still have a bunch of writers (Grayson and Brubaker are the standouts, and even Dixon is OK) but it somehow works here. The story has a more natural flow to it than the last one. There's a lot of the "Bat-family" in this (Nightwing, Robin, Oracle, Batgirl, etc.) trying to clear Bruce's name. Not very much Batman here. It's a solid mystery with some fun detective work. I didn't even mind the Robin and Batgirl chapters (these are usually pretty crummy titles). There is no resolution at the end of this book, so you'll have to buy the later books to get answers to all the questions raised here. I had a great time with this. Check it out!

Batman and Son by Grant Morrison
Modern day comic visionary Grant Morrison (The Filth, Animal Man, All Star Superman, JLA, New X-Men; you know the list) takes on the Dark Knight with his highly stylized and constantly entertaining run on Batman. Batman and Son is an interesting take on the Dark Knight as Batman learns he has a young son named Damian with Talia al Ghul; his one time love and daughter of supervillain Ra's al Ghul. As Batman takes the child under his wing, he learns that his son has been raised and trained by the League of Assassins, and he's got a temper to boot. Morrison's new take on Batman is refreshing and incredibly entertaining, beginning with arch nemesis Joker taking a bullet in the face and continuing with demonic undertones and hints towards cataclysmic events. This hardcover collection concludes with the 666th issue, which finds Damian taking the mantle of Batman 15 years into the future. This issue, along with a special issue featuring the art of John Van Fleet in which the Joker rears his ugly head again at Arkham Asylum (that eerily resembles Morrison's own Arkham Asylum graphic novel), are worth the price of admission alone. Andy Kubert (X-Men, 1602) provides the rest of the pencil work throughout this collection, and his work is great as usual. While there is a bit of a cliffhanger conclusion that leaves you begging for more, Batman and Son is a thrilling take on Batman from the visionary Morrison, and here's hoping things get even better.
