In a stellar showing, we're treated to the vintage styles and rich tones of the Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble. This limited release from Gibson touches upon some rarely-seen elements of the Gibson canon for an inspired model top to bottom. If you're hungry for rare Gibson feature set, stay tuned.

This Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble starts out with some classic features and functions from the brand. For one, this Les Paul classic single-cutaway body takes its shape from solid, non-weight-relieved mahogany paired with a AA figured maple cap for brightness and a crisp tone right off the bat. This body is treated to the first of the Double Trouble's tricks – a full-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish.

Differing from traditional Les Paul Standards with their standard gloss finish, the full-gloss finish imparts a more lived-in quality right out of the case with an overall faded impression. The full gloss nitrocellulose finish does wonders in subtly shifting the essence of this Les Paul Standard towards an inherently vintage aesthetic while each model's burst pattern is varied for a one-of-a-kind look piece to piece.

Continuing on from there, a mahogany neck takes shape with a 50s Vintage profile. This classic grip in hand pairs with a rosewood fingerboard adorned with twenty-two Medium Jumbo frets for a seamless and smooth feel across the palm and on the fingers. Acrylic trapezoid inlays line the rosewood for that iconic visual addition. Effortlessly playable across the entire scale, this Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble is anything but when it comes to maneuvering and exploring its musical scope.

Sonically, this Double Trouble comes alive with the addition of two Gibson Burstbucker pickups – a Burstbucker 1 in the neck and a Burstbucker 2 in the bridge. These rich humbuckers play with exceptional warmth, clarity, and grit for pushing your finest tube amp to the edge, should that be your priority. Sharp-eyed readers might notice something special about these pickups. These Burstbuckers are fitted with Double Classic White bobbins – a definitive rarity when it comes to Gibson pickup bobbin color combinations. Hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors and audio taper potentiometers, an authentic Gibson humbucking experience is ready to go at a moment's notice.

Covering the finishing touches of this Double Trouble, this Gibson comes equipped with a Graph Tech nut and Vintage Deluxe tuning machines for easy stringing. A nickel-plated ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge appears to match. Traveling with an included Gibson hardshell case, this guitar is road ready. This Les Paul Standard 50s Double Trouble is limited to five hundred pieces worldwide.

Decked in unique Gibson style, this Les Paul Standard doubles down on Gibson spirit and substance for a truly one-of-a-kind piece.

Seriously? His name is Damien?
Morrison redeems himself in his Batman writing. I was a huge fan of All Star Superman, and thought his take on the Man of Steel was pure genius and very heart-warming, but his other work has been a bit of a disappointment to me. Final Crisis was pure drivel, and maybe there was a lot lost in the editing and compiling of such a massive cross-title story, but the dialogue left much to be desired as well. Batman and Son certainly has an intriguing premise. Set before the "death" of Bruce Wayne and his nearly two year disappearance after Final Crisis, Batman and Son initiates a series of changes in the Bat-world that no doubt frustrated and angered die-hard fans. Bruce, has a son, Damian, who has been raised by his mother, the daughter of Ras Al'Ghul, who is plopped right back into his life at a time when Bruce is suffering a bit of an identity crisis, and boy does this complicate things. Damian is a 10 year old terror that matches his genetic and symbolic legacy. What's brilliant: Morrison absolutely delivers in several key panels, especially toward the beginning of the book and some of the best dialogue is between Bruce and Alfred, especially over Alfred's concern that Bruce has forgotten to be anything, but Batman. In his words, "The growl and edge to your voice that you used to rehearse to put fear into criminals while wearing your costume never leaves when you take off the mask. It's like you've forgotten how to be anything but Batman." Part of what makes Bruce such an interesting character even after all of these years is that you're not really sure who he really is deep down inside. Is he really Batman pretending to be Bruce Wayne, or is he Bruce Wayne pretending to be Batman. You don't get that conflict with any other character in comics. Morrison also delivers on comedic relief with some hilarious scenes of Bruce, half-dressed as Batman learning to be a father and yelling at Damian (one imagines in the Batman growl) to go to his room. Anywho, much, much better writing from Morrison, which I know he's capable of.

Where it all starts
If you buy this you are about to start reading the greatest Batman run since... let's just say this is the greatest run on Batman. I may be over hyping this, the story arcs collected here are good on their own, but until you read the next volume and return to this one, your not getting the whole story. So it's hard to say how great this story is, and how great it gets. I would only get this if you plan on buying the other 7 Morriosn Batman books that follow this. Black Glove, RIP, Batman Reborn, Batman vs Robin, Time and the Batman, Return of Bruce Wayne, and Batman Must Die!. In that order. You'll have fun reading this run.

Visionary
If you're familiar with the work of Grant Morrison than you'll know this book was never intended to be read as a stand alone work. This is just the first few stories in a long run that culminate in Batman Inc. So, keep that in mind if you plan to jump on here. It's all or nothing. I'm always amazed with Morrison's ability to craft smart, universe encapsulating, severely polarizing stories in almost every one of his runs. His meticulous plotting, spot on characterization, and willingness to take chances are just three of the plethora of reasons to buy this book. If you like to be rewarded for paying attention and are looking for something more from your comics than "monster-of-the-week" this is for you.

I don't know, something's missing
I like the idea of Bruce Wayne being a dad - and with Ra's Al Ghul's daughter too. But is it just me or does it seem like there are gaps in the story; maybe there are other books in the story arc not in this graphic novel? When I got to the end of the book I was scratching my head saying "Is that it?" If you like Batman I suggest going to Forbidden Planet or your local comic shop and asking one of the people there to give you all the books around the arc so it makes sense.

A new Wayne
This book introduces Damian Wayne as the son of Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul. Bruce does not allow Damian to be Robin in this story as Tim Drake still is. Plus Bruce does not like Damian's attitude toward Alfred and Tim. This story does help to show just how talented (and violent) the future Robin is though.
