Good one, probably as close to autobiographical as he’ll ever get. Quite different from his other books, in that it has humour and kind of just rambles around. Hard to believe he followed it up with...
The rest of Don Newton’s Batman stories. A first volume was released but nothing since.
Adventure Comics 467-490, the Starman/Plastic Man/Dial H issues. I think the Starman stories were reprinted...
Yeah, his creator-owned stuff like Department of Truth is so much better than his Batman work that I’ve long suspected the same thing. There’s the old saying that creators don’t generally do...
Right, my apologies, I didn’t know about your earlier thread. I also wasn’t aware the series was ending. But look at it this way: at least it will have an ending, unlike so many Image series that...
Short answer: comics
Any guesses regarding the true identity of Hue Vile? I’m going with Hugo Strange.
I’m really enjoying Detective these days, minus the usual tiresome Gotham apocalypse, and I like Bruce’s new...
Azzarello/Risso doing Prohibition gangsters and werewolves. It’s fantastic, although I’ve seen little discussion of it so I’m not sure how popular it is. If you liked that 100 Bullets style then...
Further to this, I've never read the Brian Vaughn or Nancy Collins runs. How do they stack up? Vaughn was pretty young at the time.
There's a quote from The Comics Journal (I think, I can't recall exactly) along the lines of "Creators don't do superheroes because they want to, but because they have to." That's an overstatement,...
This was good. And Batman working a kidnapping instead of flying around the city in a bat-shaped UFO blowing **** up feels like a relief. And the art was great. I’m feeling optimistic about this run.
Someone posts "Is DC ending?" and it goes for four pages, oscillating between comforting words, dad jokes and South Park. This is the best of CBR.
Yeah, thanks for the history lesson. I just think Bane is uninteresting. Wanting to "rule over others" is hardly a mark of supervillain uniqueness, though admittedly Nolan's Bane was cooler than...
Absolutely he is A-List, more so than Bane in my opinion (I think Bane is a pretty crap villain, to be honest). I've dug the Scarecrow since these days:

This show has one of the most astounding casts I have ever seen: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6741278/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
How on earth did Amazon manage this? I guess with money. A lot of money.
This is the age-old dispute about work for hire. I agree it sucks and I wish creators got a better deal out of it, something more akin to creator-owned. At least they get to keep and sell their...
This review from a non-comic book source has me pretty psyched: https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/zack-snyders-justice-league-movie-review-2021
Believe it or not, the population of Antarctica is anywhere from 1000-5000 people, depending on the season and the work that's going on.

Basically a bit like Marvel Two-in-One, except creators...
Yeah I know, that's why I mentioned him. I guess I should have made that more obvious. I'm not some anti-Didio guy or anything, but what's on display here feels a lot more fresh to me (from what I've...
Yara Flor has all the makings of a major hit character, unless DC brutally drops the ball. From what little I've read of Future State overall, it kind of feels like the creative teams are stretching...
Warren Ellis says two more volumes of Injection are coming this year to finally conclude the series: https://warrenellis.ltd/closedown/closedown-22apr20/
So that's some good news. I thought it was...
I see what you did there.

Exactly. But Bruce loves the mean girls, so what can you do.
As a confirmed BatCat hater, I'm with you. But giving Bruce (not Batman) "love" interests does open up certain story possibilities. Consider Jezebel Jet, for example.
