update:
Batman Year 100 HC (7) - Gritty tale that focuses more on the "ideal" than the "man". Liked this well enough, the other stories were decent too.
Batman Arkham Asylum HC (~3) - Loved the tone McKean set with his art. Story was good as well, though i felt batman was written a little out of character at times*. Haven't read Morrison's script yet, but looking forward to more incite into his story.
Outcast vol. 2 TP (6) - Eerie series by Kirkman. Seems like the story was written for TV, which i guess is why is was optioned, lol.
1033 + 16 = 1049 for the year
*Morrison stated in his notes he wrote batman as a critique of the way he was being portrayed at the time ('80s) so obviously that was what he was going for lol
