May 24, 2011 9:37 am @lifesend  Agreed, this list should have been Gotham Central from top to bottom.

May 5, 2011 12:11 pm Let's not forget that while Scott can forgive you for your sins, he has a lot of baggage of his own.

March 11, 2011 1:34 pm I have to say, Batman The Black Glove and R.I.P. are kinda essential reading. Otherwise seeing Dr. Hurt show up anywhere else falls flat. That buildup is fantastic and necessary for the end of B&R

February 18, 2011 12:12 pm The Wire is the greatest show ever.

February 17, 2011 1:30 pm How Morrison isn't at the top of this list baffles me. Frazer Irving, JH Williams, Cameron Stewart, Yanick Paquette...just some of the frequent names that are associated with Morrison. Better yet, Morrison has brought out the best in all of those artists. Whether it be Batman or Seven Soldiers, Morrison has an unmatched skill of bringing the best out of the best.

December 3, 2010 12:29 pm Batman and Robin #15. Easily.

November 19, 2010 10:40 am Billy Batson and the Magic of SHAZAM! Easily. It started out rough and felt like pre-school work but it turned into something special.

Easily BATMAN AND ROBIN.

 Grant Morrison is telling the most original and thrilling Batman story ever. Every issue is gold. Every character that you see on the page is there for a reason, and that's to make the story better. Morrison is with a multitude of good to AMAZING artists, who help him capture these characters in a way that caters to their history that we know and love, while still giving the characters something new to react to. The first three issues are unrivaled instant classics thanks largely to Frank Quitely's art and Morrison's ability to tap into the 'weird' whenever he pleases.

But BATMAN AND ROBIN continues to showcase the very best elements of every character involved. The breakout character of the last TWO years is easily Damian Wayne, and its not because of Tony Daniel or Paul Dini...Its Grant Morrison. Its Cameron Stewart. Its Andy Clarke. Its Frank Quitely. Its Philip Tan. Its freakin FRAZER IRVING! Its all of that. There's a full story within its 22 pages, and its more than bright lights and splash pages like other superhero comics.When Grant Morrison (God forbid!) wraps up his Batman saga then we will all look back on these issues and realize just how original they are, because we'll be stuck with the mediocre tellings of Batman beats up a thug at night stories.

There's more character development in this series than any other superhero comic being published. There's more STORY threads here than the last 6 years of Green Lantern combined. There's no doubt in my mind that BATMAN AND ROBIN is the Best Comic Book Being Published. 

July 30, 2010 11:35 am SDCC was great, though I wish you guys would move the Comics Podcast panel to Sunday where scheduling is a lot easier.
