didn't Alan Moore create John Constantine? That's a pretty lasting mainstream creation.
yeah i was just about to mentione hard case crime and the gabriel hunt books. HCC has seem some great covers and very hardboiled stories. GH, well, who knows, bit it LOOKS great.
This Lobster book is instantly the book i want to proze above all in the whole wide world. For today.
i really enjoyed Dick's turn as Batman back then, although it wasn't always the best written, i liked the idea. I liked getting in the head of someone who was wearing the cowl in the way Dick was (and will be?), the burden, the self awareness...it was an interesting angle.
i was actually dissapointed that Bruce came back so soon, i would have liked to have seen him stay away for a good while longer, as he may well do this time. I mean, we all know Bruce IS Batman, end of, but it would be a pretty dull 70 + years if they didnt shake it up occasionally.
I fancy Bruce may return initially as a villain in some form, before regaining his memory. Please...just not as Hush...
(yikes, first comment)
that issue of strangers in paradise. About three times. And those last black pages, oi. I second (third or fourth?) Preacher.
I have such an emotional connection to BORN AGAIN that there are several moments that, though they don't bring on tears, certainly make me feel the size of my heart.
