    Another favourite by him is The Crossing, which follows All The Pretty Horses. Just devastating stuff. I remember reading Child Of God and afterwards feeling that I’d undergone a significant life...

    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...

    Any guesses regarding the true identity of Hue Vile? I’m going with Hugo Strange.

    Moonshine

    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 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...

    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.
