May 23, 2013 11:53 am I jumped off John's books a while back for (among other things) what I saw as either the never ending stories (GL) or endings he just couldn't stick (JL). So I'm interested that people seem pleased with this ending. Maybe I'll check it out. I plan to use issue 21 as a jumping back on point for GL and Corps. After their run on Demon Knights, I'll Follow Venditti and Chang wherever.

May 22, 2013 2:32 pm Camelot Falls would definitely be a good place to start. It's got the same blockbuster feel as these previews.

May 21, 2013 9:52 am Trekker returns in Dark Horse Presents...and that is all the people need to know.

May 21, 2013 9:45 am Atomic Skull?

May 17, 2013 9:10 pm The Shade mini was good, but Robinson's JLA, Cry for Justice, and E2 were all the definition of mediocre. Anyone who tries to paint E2 as one of DC's only good books is clearly not reading Wonder Woman, Flash, Batman and..., Dial H, Demon Knights, All Star Western, Green Arrow, or Batman Inc. Actually, I know they're not reading Dial H or Demon Knights. Those cancellations are a real reason to be upset - and you can't blame that on editorial.

May 17, 2013 5:13 pm I have tried to picture puting aside what I know about certain creators and just enjoying the work as some people here claim to do, but it seems impossible. I think it comes down to the difference between strange ideas and objectionable values. While time dulls the edges, and it is not difficult to forgive artists who worked in very different periods from our own, I can't imagine knowing a living artist is currently out there conducting himself in a way that conflictls strongly with my values, and still being okay with supporting him. I'm not going to buy any products by a company that tests on animals - I don't care how good they are. I'm not going to buy any stories (products) by a man who beats his wife - I don't care how good they are. Morrison's magic does not seem to hurt anybody. The same can not be said for some of the other examples people have mentioned.

April 17, 2013 10:14 am I did a full-on Jack Tripper spit take at that line. Absolutely perfect.

April 11, 2013 10:09 am What a great issue. This was a shared-universe writing clinic. Bruce goes somewhere he's never been, Frankenstein's backstory is used beautifuly, Red Robin gets a moment that warrants his name on the cover, Alfred's voice is spot on, and in a few short pages Carrie Kelly is made interesting and distinct (even when we have another young hip woman running around in another Bat book). All in 20 pages with nothing rushed, clumsy, or out of place. This is Pick of the Week and is already signing autographs by the time anything else shows up.

April 3, 2013 1:09 pm Because I limit myself to a certain amount of storage space in the basement, things need to get culled about once a year. It forces me to create keep/don't keep piles - and the only way to make those calls is to reread. Keep - Camelot Falls Don't Keep - New Krypton Keep - All my Legion stuff through Giffen's 90's run Don't Keep - All my Legion stuff after that
