May 15, 2013 9:01 pm I am such a sucker for X-Men future stories that I would have loved this no matter what, but I think this was Perez's best issue on this book and Jason Aaron continued his brilliant character work. My runner up pick.

May 15, 2013 7:52 pm This was a great issue. I was a little apprehensive about the idea that Miles' mom died too but this issue proves that we're all a little too reactionary with our columns and podcast complaining these days. This is only one issue as well but the follow up is leading somewhere very promising. Bendis gets all of these characters so well. PotW.

May 13, 2013 5:58 pm The first 3 issues or so of Dial H were great. It was good when it was a book about a regular Joe getting insane powers, but the whole conspiracy, secret society stuff just made the book too convoluted for its own good. Still it was a book with perhaps the most unique voice in DC, for that alone I'm sad that I (and others like me) dropped off the book and doomed it to cancellation.

May 13, 2013 3:28 pm Thanks, I'll look into it. I'm looking for sites with the actual on sale date though if Timmy or anyone else knows of such a site.

May 13, 2013 2:37 pm One shot, then the next four parts crossover between Captain Marvel and Assemble.

May 13, 2013 1:12 pm I think you've been asked this before, but what website are you getting all these dates from? I'm trying to track down release dates for comics released from about 1999 on to now, but I can only find sites (like ifanboy, comicslist, diamond) that only go back to about 2007. Thanks if you can help!

May 13, 2013 10:52 am That art is great, and I really liked the TV series. Anyone who has read this want to give it a recommendation?

May 12, 2013 9:03 pm Good stuff guys. The one area that I would disagree a bit is with Batman and Robin. It's fine if you guys don't like it, and I understand that you might be griefed out by too many years of Batman brooding, but I actually think it would be missing the point to say it's a book all about grief. It feels to me like Tomasi is writing this book with a wink and a nod to the fans who have been through this before. This feels purposely absurd and fun. I mean, in the first issue Batman became Dr. Frankenstein. In this issue Batman essentially switched places with Red Hood. He took advantage of Jason's vulnerable state, making Jason feel like part of the family, and then in the end he showed that he was just using Todd. Todd felt like a son of Batman for a moment and then Batman told me him that Damian was his only son. Brutal. It's absurd in all the right places with the right dramatic beats. Plus I like (as Paul said) the Harriet the Spy aspect of Carrie Kelly. I personally don't think it's reveling in anything. It's giving an outlet for Bruce's anger and sadness but meanwhile it's giving us fun, surreal tales. It feels like a fever dream tale, with the Carrie Kelly parts being the sections of the book that bring us back to reality. Just some food for thought. Cheers!

May 8, 2013 5:19 pm This is my answer in 2013 to the question "I generally only like indie comics, is there one book from Marvel or DC I should be reading?" (replacing 2011's answer of Daredevil and 2012's answer of Hawkeye). Great to see this getting another pick from iFanboy. Oh, and I really like your writing Paul, you captured the tone of the Thor issue in your review of it. Nice stuff.
