January 17, 2013 1:48 am Couple of things... 1) This book was fantastic for me. Scott Snyder is my favorite writer going now, and Greg Capullo's art just keeps getting better and better. I really just want to take the panels and wallpaper my room with them. 2) The story for this arc is amazing. Snyder has a really clear view on the Joker's mind and why he does what he does. But along with having his own vision of the Joker he does a great job of keeping in mind past Joker stories. 3) The little details of Capullo's art are just crazy. The fly images throughout the issue is just a great attention to detail and adds to the story. 4) Lastly, Snyder and Capullo are so cool to their fans. There are so many instances of answering fan questions, posting on forums, and just responding to fans which is so cool. These guys will take time from the busy schedules just to say thank you to a fan when complimented. These guys care about Batman and their fans. Hopefully this team stays on Batman for a long time to come.
December 13, 2012 2:50 am This review was spot on. Snyder is currently my favorite writer going, but I will say that as great as this issue was that it doesn't quite reach the level of the past 2 for instance. Capullo's art is just awesome and has been and will probably continue to be just the perfect complement to Snyder. I really enjoyed the backup. It continues with the Joker and gives a glimpse of what we can expect when Snyder does his Riddler story later in 2013. This issue is a 5 compared to other comics, but comparing Snyder to himself it is probably a 4-4.5.
November 20, 2012 12:15 am Just curious, if anyone is actually looking at the thread since we are coming on a new week, but what is Snyder's "formula" that is being referenced? I'm new to comics (6 months) and it's not going to ruin the fun for me or anything, just curious on what his formula is because I enjoy AV, Batman, and Swamp Thing (surprisingly bc such an odd character) and I don't see a formula but thats maybe bc the characters are different.
November 20, 2012 12:02 am I apologize for the ignorance on this one, but what is the closet that is being referred to?
November 19, 2012 11:59 pm I definitely feel you on this one. I really started doing the whole comics thing starting back in July and although I really enjoy it, I definitely have some moment where I'm like "Who the eff is this guy." Wikipedia became a good friend starting out for some of the characters.
October 11, 2012 1:52 am I thought this was a solid first issue for Marvel NOW! The ending definitely creates some intrigue going forward. BUT..... This was chosen as POTW over Batman 13?!? Really? Snyder and Capullo have pulled off a fantastic issue that has a great pace, darkness, art, and references that should be considered higher than a pretty good x-men/avengers comic.
October 10, 2012 11:10 pm SNYYYYYDEERRRR!!!!! Dude, you just really get how to write a great comic and have a wonderful grasp of the characters. Can not wait to see what you and Greg have in store for the rest.
