April 11, 2013 10:25 pm Am I the only one who saw Carrie's roommate and immediately wondered if that was Stephanie Brown?
April 11, 2013 10:22 pm I completely forgot about that story! Probably because it had absolutely no impact on the rest of the series. It was rather disconnected from the narrative Tomasi was building. He's brought a lot of heart to the characters. However, I think the real issue with that arc was the art. Gleason is one of the best artists DC has working for them and the fill in art on those issues was rather jarring.
April 2, 2013 11:32 pm I don't know if these are errors or true inconsistencies in the art, but Krypto's collar appears to change and Clark's desk appears to switch directions (his right side is toward a window in the second panel, but not in any other panel).
January 27, 2013 8:49 pm Every episode of this show makes me miss the old DCU. To be fair, the characters still aren't quite the same as they were in the DCU, but they are so much closer than the lifeless husks that populate the new52. Maybe not lifeless, but... superficial? Young Justice has done such a great job of making these characters feel like they have a rich history together in a way the comics of late have not. I wish this had been the new universe that spun out of flashpoint.
December 6, 2012 1:22 am Can you really call Rudy a fill-in artist? It seems to me that he's drawn as many, if not more, issues of the this series. Either way, I think his art is just as beautiful as Paquette's.
October 17, 2012 10:34 pm Typewriter? Do you think all comics are from like the '80s and are just slowly being released?
October 15, 2012 12:30 am I would totally buy a Jim Gordon solo book written by Snyder. What I'd really like to see thought is a new Gotham Central series. Written by Snyder and Layman perhaps?

September 30, 2012 11:42 pm I don't think knowledge of DC's multiverse will have much impact on the story. I think the stories will be mostly self contained. However, I do believe the settings and characters will be taken from throughout comics history and so a working knowledge of stories published by DC (and apparently Image and Marvel based on this interview) will add to your enjoyment of the series. It seems like Morrison tries to pack in little tidbits for people who are more well versed on comics history while keeping the main plot pared down for everyone to enjoy. Like with the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh and the Batman of Africa.
