March 13, 2013 5:12 pm I was thinking, "Okay, am I gonna get Batman 18, or Batman & Robin 18?" Then I saw this, and its truly all I need.

March 11, 2013 2:29 pm If Snyder has THAT much to tell about Batman's origins, let him tell it, and I will buy it (until I maybe drop it).

March 11, 2013 2:24 pm @Ithosapien Read it again, it'll grow on you.

March 11, 2013 2:20 pm Wow, just read that Ordway blog. So sad to be wasting such talent.

March 11, 2013 2:13 pm Oooooh, hurts to read this. The engine that Ellis built far exceeded its creator's efforts over time.

March 5, 2013 4:08 pm This series has been awesome so far. That talk with the Punisher allowed me to accept the incredibility of Matt influencing all those women to have his kids. DD's like, "Hey Typhoid, we'd make the most insane children ever together, I'm leaving that part of my legacy with you." Elektra: Best ninja child ever. Mila: Upstanding asshole who will become a doctor or lawyer. Echo: Only in the book because of David Mack, who probably thought the whole "lots of kids" thing was a dumb idea.

March 5, 2013 12:04 pm If everything you write feels the same, and every character talks in the same voice, there's not much weight to the word prolific. I feel like his voice hasn't changed since his earlier, amazing work, but its just dropped down in intelligence and inventiveness. Over-time, New Avengers and Ultimate Spider-man killed Bendis. I feel like nowadays he saves his best-written stuff for Alex Maleev (Scarlet, Moon Knight, even Spider-Woman). And End of Days was written during Brubaker's DD run. So...it was obviously before the flame went out. And I do feel he's able to light up again from time to time. But the overall quality of his entire output is really skewed to one side.
