I think Arkham Asylum is one of his worst works tbh, but I recognize that's a minority opinion. Animal Man would rank higher with me if I didn't hate that art, but woof…it's terrible.

I've seen him go at some of the nicer creators and editors in comics, just because of some work for hire decision they've made. It's just a lot of uncalled for type shit, imo.

I liked those too, but Multiversity is a more fun version of Final Crisis I think, and Seven Soldiers, which is terrific, kinda loses me in its final issue.

Probably not, it's real slight. And in the pantheon of animal comics, I find it generally less interesting than something like Beasts of Burden.

I wish we had gotten a colored version of BPRD, it made the pencils a little tougher to parse.

After he pulled the plug on Material, his comic work has been basically nil other than the odd issue of Wolf (I could be wrong, maybe it's still coming out, but I basically don't give enough of a shit about Image largely anymore to keep up). I almost figured he'd end up back at Marvel for the new Marvel Now launch,…

They're about on the same playing field for me, though at least Kot has toned it down in recent months (releasing almost nothing helps).

I don't feel like spending a ton of brain-power on this, to be honest with you, because I don't really care that much. But the sense of scope that marked the initial run has been lost in order for Graham and Roy to have their conclusion. It all reads as very rushed and unearned in many ways, and for a book that used…

I think it's pretty fair to compare if you look at it as simply as: one is good, one isn't so much. I say that as somebody that loved the initial run of Prophet, btw. This new run feels like a bad cover version.

I'll be honest… I think Omega Men is better than Prophet: Earth War…talk about a book that has NOT lived up to its ridiculously long wait.

What a delight that book could have been with somebody like Chris Sprouse on it. Porter just made it looks like bog-standard 90's material.

It's too bad about the art in that book.

Except….you have no idea what the digital sales actually are and what books are selling at what clip.

The thing I always ask myself: "will I ever re-read this?" If I hesitate at all, it's gone. It's a good system for my space needs.

Most discussions on the subject I've seen presume that digital still seems to account for only about 10% of sales or less. The fact that the cancellation threshold hasn't changed despite the proliferation of Comixology, probably lends some credence to that.

I just can't get on board with Venditti's GL, or Humphries really…that franchise desperately needs new life and a new approach that isn't Johns-lite.

Prompted by the Rucka Wonder Woman run that I'm very much enjoying, I went out and purchased the recently reprinted Perez collection. Beautiful art, a little creaky here and there, but I'm having a lot of fun digging into his vivid recreation of the mythos. Miller + Byrne + Perez must have been a hell of a time to…

I saw it earlier this week, and I'll just say it really wastes its rather promising premise by its second half, instead opting for shock value and illogical plotting. I was pretty disappointed in it, but I'm probably not the audience for this either.

Same, somehow I manage it, though I'm falling behind on stuff like Aquaman, Green Lantern Corps and Harley Quinn.

Not only that, but she's clearly a different character than the one that was in Grayson. It's such a terrible comic, I think I'd rank it below Red Hood in the Batman hierarchy right now, which is insane.
