"If I were a DC guy, some of the specific things that happened would have drove me absolutely nuts."
i AM a DC guy and nothing that happened drove me nuts... and i can't think of anything that SHOULD have, i loved every single panel of this. from larfleeze's "oath" to the last few pages that had me exclaim out loud "holy s@#$! oh my god..."
fantastic issue... can't wait for more!
1. loving batman reborn - even tho i was afraid of hating every moment
2. blackest night - i'm turning into gollum because of this story, every week... my preciousssss!
3. marvel comics - i never read marvel much throughout my 20+ years of comics. til last year. i'm hooked!
4. dc comics - i thought i was a "dc guy" before. i wasn't. i was a "batman guy". NOW, i'm a dc guy. thanks geoff johns!!
5. ifanboy! - like i said, i've been reading comics for over 20 years and since i started listening/watching/typing, i've never had more fun with "this thing of ours".
KING OF THE WICKER PEOPLE!

wow... this piece definitely brought back memories. what a great movie-going experience. that was the summer that i cemented my life-long love affair with the world of comics and the film had a lot to do with it - up until then, i read and collected but not with any sort of regularity. this film changed that.
i lived an hour away from the closest first-run movie theater - the one in my town getting the "new" films a few months later. i begged and begged to see this, but my parents were in no way driving me an hour to see a movie, second to the fact that even if they were, they certainly didn't have the money to pay for it. just wait til it comes to our local theater, they would say.
ugh!
that's when fate kicked in. i must have done something karmically right, because one weekend it all fell into place. my family travelled to my aunt and uncle's house for the weekend. my cousins were away at camp or something, so the adults decided to send me to a movie. Batman was showing!
As the opening moments of the film unspooled before me, i learned then and there the profound effect a "silly little summer comic book movie" could have on a kid - an experience that could, quite possibly, last a lifetime.
This article is proof that I'm not alone.
Great job, Josh!
