Anyone know if they're doing the rotating artist format (ala Superman/Batman)? I think I like that since this is definitly a book that explores a Batman interpretation. Quietly is awesome with Morrison, but exploration and/or world building of a much established character, Grayson or Wayne, has a lot of richness and storytelling texture.

 POTW.

Marvel vs. DC

Winner: The fans.

Good point on mentioning those all important questions that people do tend to ask. It slmost points out the undertone of an "us versus them" mindset that comic book fans have.

Art in all its forms matures with the time (that can be a good thing or a bad thing), but it is great to note that the maturation levels these days when talking about comics and movies is that you will hear a bit more about that indie comic that was optioned, which later turns a movie into a small, but very fierce following. With that said, I will be a bit more interested in how Scott Pilgrim turns out than Iron Man 2 or Kick-Ass (doesn't mean I won't watch all three).

When you have enough broken bones, it just sounds like crumpled paper. At least that's what Parker thought. Wrong time, wrong place, and wrong guy to wrong when you need to right things up.

"Do a guy a favor... open up all those windows. Its hot in here." Parker said.

"There's only one." Marv said as he towelled off his fists. "For a small fry, you're a tough cookie. But I'll chew on one if I get hungry enough. You still wanna try me?"

Parker spat out a tooth in Marv's direction. "Haven't been paid yet."

Parker's skin rippled back in waves as it met with Marv's fist. Warm blood sprayed in the wall behind him like an abstract painting. Parker kept reminding himself that there's only one window. Rational thought would perhaps keep him from blacking out.

"Now. I think you're done." Marv said. "Are you done with me?" A toothless smirk made its way onto Parker's face. Or at least he thought he was smirking. Facial control was difficult with how cauliflowered his face became.

"Yeah. I'm done with you." Parker said. "You gotta get goin' anyways. Her name... Nancy? Lives on 3rd and Halifax Boulevard?"

Marv's eyes actually began showing its whites behind those small lids. Glaringly angry, he hoisted Parker by the hair. "What're you playin' at, small fry?"

"Playin'? Sorry. I try not to play with exposed gas lines in a building like that." Parker said. "City like this, it'd be hard to tell the smell from the stink. Hope you dont have a smoke or cook 'round this time."

Marv dropped Parker and took off running. Parker crawled over to a plump duffle bag off in the corner. Hoisting it over his shoulder, he picked himself up and counted what was in it. "Debt paid." He said hobbling over to the sink. Crimson was a swirl over the tarnished brown over white as he washed himself off. "It's always a girl. Always gonna be about a girl."

No word yet on what creative team will take over Detective?

 

I liked the format, but this could open things up on Detective to feature the Question, or rotate around to lesser known street level/gotham characters.

 

Looking forward to it.

I told someone that my pulllist averages to about 30-50 a month and they flipped out.

@zeppo - you're appealing to my love for Doctor Who.

 Anyone else catch that little tidbit about the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier? "I have a name..."

Love it.

Is an animated Kingdom Come also scrapped?

 Regardless, still looking forward to this and have been relatively impressed with a good number of these adaptations.

Was this a superdickery find?? Cuz' it should be.

 Also, Grayson wears boy shorts and pixie boots. When your career begins with boyshorts and pixie boots, it doesn't matter that your Batman now, you'll be remembered for wearing boy shorts and pixie boots.
