Phonogram, it's his most personal piece and gives you the best insight into his predilections.

Been there myself with a comics creator that I once admired. Whatever happened to Kot anyway? He was pretty prolific for a while and then kinda fell off recently.

My thoughts exactly. How about a Wonder Woman story where she fights Cheetah or Dr. Psycho?

Right now, I rank it right at the top. That may be excitement talking, but I have to say I was never bored and the action beats (which tend to veer towards tedium for me) were all well-handled, exciting and varied.

I saw Captain America: Civil War at one of the fan preview screenings this week. Holy cow, you guys are in for a treat!

The Batman of Zur-En-Arrh! Make it happen Ben!

I tend to think so as well. But once you get past Poison River, Beto's better work is more on the margins and not so much focused on Luba, whereas Jaime becomes next level amazing.

Those early stories are not indicative of where Jaime eventually takes that series. By the end of the first collected volume, all the clumsy and dull sci-fi stuff goes away, and it becomes a pretty terrific punk rock slice of life series.

As was Scalped

Yeah, I think they're broadly fine and I enjoy them through the lens of "this is JMS and Shane Davis doing as cinematic a DC comic as you can possibly buy", same goes for the Batman books, which I like a bit more.

My guess is that Hellblazer remains at DC thanks to the now-cancelled tv show and his appearance on Arrow this season. I think they wanted to take advantage of that in Rebirth maybe?

I'm SUPER pumped for this. Particularly the new Doom Patrol run and whatever this Cave Carson Has A Cybernetic Eye turns out to be. I've long held that DC needed to revitalize Vertigo with it's superhero properties again, and this is basically that but under another banner. I'm alllll in.

As a longtime Morrison fan, I can appreciate what this take on Wonder Woman is aiming to accomplish as sort of the personification of the Aeon of Maat, much like Marvel Boy held that status for Horus. Taken hand in hand with Nameless, you can sense that Morrison is moving beyond the "both middle fingers up" stage of…

I'm into him, but I get why other people are not. But, I will go to my grave stating his run on Batman is superior to Snyder's in every way short of artist consistency.

I'm surprised it's not getting more hits, though maybe fewer people use Comic Book Roundup than I realize.

Glad you double-checked with them, cause everything I've seen said it was the release date. Perhaps you got yours from a different source though.

Way to break embargo there ;-)

I'm not sure how that kinda stuff lands with somebody not attuned to the regular status quo, but I'm okay with all those liberties. It's just enjoyable to read something different rather than the bog standard Harvey Dent origin or what have you. The surface similarities between the Luthor and Dent switcharoos are…

I've grown quite tired of Gillen's writing, if it wasn't for McKelvie's art, I don't think I'd be on-board with that series anymore.

The key thing is, they all sell really well to the bookstore crowd that doesn't want to get on-board with on-going comics. I can see the appeal. Mostly pretty great art (Syaf aside) is also nice. They're solid books, never spectacular, but they do the job for the casual reader I imagine.
