Indeed. This nonchalant, random nihilism in the face of what would normally be considered major, life changing events is also echoed in a death that takes place in the same comic but doesn't get...

Hey! Yeah, I moved to an area where the nearest comic store (or book store for that matter) is a good hour and a half away, so I'm not reading much of anything. I pick up a few image and dark horse...

That's kind of what put me off reading superhero comics in general. I remember picking up an issue of Geoff Johns's new52 Justice League and reading the whole thing cover to cover in maybe four...

I didn't mind this "info dump". Instead of eating up an entire page it was told quickly, in a flippant way, and it was tied into the action.

I liked this preview. Batman sounded a bit more like...

I don't think that was what Brubaker was going for at all, based on two things.

One, the protagonist was an angry young man. If he'd been a middle aged writer then you could make the argument that...

I'm in agreement- I love Miller's take on Batman (excluding ASBAR), but this movie sounds very unappealing. Miller's Batman was gleefully sadistic which added some dark humor to the proceedings, and...

I feel the same way about Joker cutting off his face as I would if he'd cut off his genitals and become the worlds first transgender super-villian.

It was done for shock, poorly thought out, and...

I think Snyder will wind up somewhat on par with Jeph Loeb. This current run will always have great art, so it will always look good on the bookshelf of your local comic or book store; and for that...

The most successful aspect of the book, though, is that this critique is not done with a heavy hand. These were very subtle touches (with the exception of Hannibal Sivana, perhaps).

Reading this...

I think it's missing a sense of momentum in it's plot. The main characters are stuck in this kind of meandering, "we're not sure what we should do" kind of storyline. Combine that with the fact that...

I gave it a read, but I can't say I'd recommend it. The art was good, and some of the prisoners were interesting, but so little time was spent on the prisoners that they felt very shallow. The plot...

Oh, I thought it was excellent. I'm bookmarking your page for when I have time to really sit and examine the issue in much more detail.

I'm wondering if anyone has read the issue backwards yet?...

Thanks for this. Now I just wish my schedule would allow me the time to give this a proper read.

Maybe someday...

What's funny is that Morrison seemed to be aware himself that the outer space stuff needed some more relatable element to make it more compelling. I think Ray Spass's agent said something to that...

It has become a little trite. Last time I opened a new issue of Saga, I told my wife, 'I'll bet you 10 dollars there's something sexually graphic on the first page".

As a reader of Saga, she...

I've always tried to limit my comics budget so that it doesn't get out of control; but right now I'm picking up Saga, Southern Bastards, Sex Criminals, and Mind MGMT over at dark horse. I'm going to...

I've missed a lot of you guys here at CBR. I just moved to an area with absolutely no comic book stores, and that coupled with my lack of enthusiasm for much of the product has led to me drifting...

Yeah, seems like I've heard that statement before. Just can't place where...

:)

Wagner also wrote The Riddle Factory, which came out around the same time as the Batman Forever film. It doesn't get mentioned much (and unfortunately Wagner didn't do the art), but it's probably my...

I didn't care for the preview and Ellis has always been pretty hit or miss for me, but I picked up the issue and really enjoyed it. I don't know that I'd care to read this concept for longer than one...

I'm not sure how I feel about the baseball bat appearing in the wreckage of the tree after the lightning bolt, but I love everything else about this book. It's got the vibe of a great western like...
