Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft
Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”
I've been buying all the issues, but I actually dropped it after #5 . My intention is to just buy the Trade at this point. Maybe it's not so much the art work being slow. Maybe King is doing a rewrite ? I don't know. But really would have preferred to have King complete his original plan and tell his story in the 100 issues as planned. It would have been all over by now.
I've liked the series so far. The card stock covers are beautiful (seems king is getting the card stock on his books i.e. Rorsach and Mr miracle ) the art is nice. A few of the issues have the lame king music lyrics stuff but overall it's been good.
If the series needs to take a break that's cool. I usually read stuff over and over and I'm not eager to make sure things happen right away. I can wait. Plus there is so much awesome stuff coming out its all good.
Pulls: Batman, Detective Comics, SiKtC, Catwoman, Nightwing, Titans, Godzilla, Wonder Woman, Batman & Robin, Brave and the Bold, No/One, Kill your Darlings, and Deviant.
My runs: Batman #230-, and Detective #420-
Yeah 70-80k for any DC book is great . But for the main Batman book they need it to be 6 digits , have to agree on that one.
But I still think that there's something going on with Bat/Cat , and don't think it's all Clay Mann's fault . He's had more than enough time.
I still think there's some rewriting on King's part.
The book is really beautiful starting with the covers , the paper quality and art work .
Could do without Tom's tunes , lol ...

Liam Sharp is doing the art for #8...that is going to be a rather jarring art change.

Dude.
We waited a full year for this to release.
I love Sharp and he definitely can do other styles well (see Morrison's Green Lantern) but I'm here only for Mann and his art.
We'll see how it fits in the over all arc, it may be a dream sequence or something; I mean the main Bat title had tons of those - so who knows

My God the art shift for this is going to be jarring as all hell. It’s 100% on Clay Mann for not being able to finish this book, even with the head start he got. He’s just so damn slow for a cheesecake artist, can’t see DC ever trusting him with interiors on anything beyond one shots again.So it looks like this news is out now - I'm doing #7, 8 and 9, pencils inks and colors, on top of everything else. Couldn't say no to working with @TomKingTK!

Mess. Either you know you can get the job done within the allotted timeframe or you dont. Was really looking forward to a nice consistent run.
I'd be okay with this being shortened and then forgotten.
