May 2, 2012 9:07 pm I absolutely loved this issue. I think that Morrison is building something big, and I'm pretty sure that Multiversity will be connected to his Action run through this issue. Very much looking forward to re-reading the first eight issues when the hardcover comes out! One last thing; people often don't enjoy Morrison's work at the start of runs - in particular, I remember his batman run getting quite a lot of flack. However, in retrospect, not only does Batman and son seed ideas and themes that have only just come up in Batman Inc, it also reds as a fantastic introduction into morrison's bat-epic. Have a little faith guys, I think grant is actually cooking with nitro-glycerin here, but we're just seeing too little of the fire to know it!

March 21, 2012 7:21 pm I'm in the same boat as Josh; never had any contact with Mars before (sorry, I couldn't resist!), and picked this up on the strength of Tale of Sand. Whilst I wasn't disappointed in the book, as the visual storytelling was superb, I did feel a little cold after reading - the story didn't grab me, so I felt as if the beautiful art was in service of something that didn't really amount to much (of course, I might enjoy the whole miniseries when it is collected though.) All in all, it was good, but the piece mostly made me want the excellent visuals to be telling a different story - perhaps something more longer form and self contained... another Tale of Sand style project if you will!
