    Default Where’s all the Black Label talk?

    Friggin’ Last God, Dollhouse, Basketful, so much good stuff coming out of this label! Nobody talking about it?

    Well, I made a thread to try and keep all Black Label news and updates in one handy place, but no one seems to be using it.

    Keep it up (if you want to!) - its useful to have all the info in one place - and for sorting out a pull list. Maybe once they start adding more non batman books to the i.print more people might jump in to the thread.

    I've been trying to keep it up - although I didn't post about the Black Label Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey book. If anyone has more news or titles to add please feel free to do so!

    I like it! It’s not easy to read serially because following the plot requires attention to detail. So I did some re-reading. I prefered reading three issues in one sitting. There’s also a map, additional lore text and that sort of thing. It’s gonna make a hell of a trade.

    So just let the issues build up then.

    Thats a shame as i would have enjoyed a month to month chat about it but im so behind in books anyway that i doubt i will get to it for many months.

    Unfortunately, nothing from this label has peaked my interest enough to talk about it. I don't wish the label or the books any ill but so far it's all been "meh" to me.
    Currently(or soon to be) Reading: Alan Scott: Green Lantern, Batman/Superman: World's Finest, Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Jay Garrick: The Flash, Justice Society of America, Power Girl, Superman, Shazam, Titans, Wesley Dodds: Sandman, Wonder Woman, & World's Finest: Teen Titans.

    I feel like Black Label should've been graphic novels instead of releasing in issues. Harleen was really good but was better in one sitting.

    Yeah that’s a way to do it. I don’t own a TV so I have time read all the books as I buy them and even re-read some and read back issues and regular books too. My rule is if I don’t read a comoc book more than two weeks after it comes out (excluding when I go on vacation) then it gets cut from my list. That way my list stays a manageable size and I don’t spend more than necessary.

    Thats normally my policy too - im not paying for things just to keep runs going - but this year i fell down the 2000ad reprints rabbithole so thats been consuming all my reading time.

    Basketful and Dollhouse have been really good. I haven’t heard or seen of Last God though.

    seems to have lacked promotional push.

    Last God is definitively excellent, but it really requires a more hardback format, I think, because the world is really dense and month from month, it's kind of hard to retain all the details of who did what, and when.
