The Curse comes right after Great Darkness, and it's a solid read, as is Eye for an Eye. DC has yet to collect the 5 Years Later era, but that remains my favorite along with the first few years of the Reboot.

I think reading Shade is recommendable because it's a great series, but…this Shade is a different character altogether from the same planet, so I think you'll be fine just hopping in.

I adored Doom Patrol, and wrote about it at length over at The Beat, but it's easily the best first issue from the Big Two that I've read since…Hawkeye maybe? It perfectly melds together Morrison pop art storytelling with Hernandez Bros character throughlines. I can't wait for more. Young Animal is exactly what I've…

I still maintain it's the best thing DC has ever produced.

Very interested to talk about it when the embargo is up.

It's a good comic, probably the best long-form thing Milligan has done, you should check it out!

All of them intrigue me on some level, and I've long been an advocate to get the superheroes back into Vertigo (making the argument back on The Beat in January), this is basically that. I'm all in. Mother Panic is the one I'm least sure about, but hey, it's another lady writing a comic book which is something that is…

I mean, it's clear that Jimenez and DC are playing a long game with New 52 Lois and Supes.

Some rough art though, VERY 90's in the stuff that isn't by Veitch or Sprouse.

Psst, there's a Young Animal sale on Comixology. I went and dropped like 70 bucks to get the whole run of Milligan's Shade, The Changing Man, which was a big blindspot for me. Still not sure why War of the Gods is included though…a Cave Carson appearance maybe? Seems pretty slim if so.

I tried to read the first three trades of everything Valiant put out back when they had their Humble Bundle. I honestly regret that time spent, I thought Harbinger was especially rough. Just IMO of course, but a lot of it read like bad late 90's Marvel.

Like this movie is ever coming out…

I spent my whole weekend at Dragon Con, but I read some of this week's upcoming DC books (reviews go up tomorrow morning)…that's about all. I really need to finish Jerusalem. But damn it, there's just so many pages.

Oh right, I forgot that one. As of right now, I'd put it somewhere in the middle, though it's got moments where I feel like it could break out into the upper tier. I like how it actually *feels* like John Constantine again.

It finally feels like Batman again, or at least the Batman I like. Snyder's book was very consistent in terms of quality, I think, but it never really felt like *my* Bruce Wayne, ya know?

At this point, I think Rebirth is a massive improvement on the New 52 and I'm having more fun reading superhero comics than I have in years and years. It helps that I'm a long-time DC fan, but this initiative has me playing right into their hands.

It's funny, I'm more into DC now than I've been in years.

The thing is, I'm not sure Hellboy really ended, sorta like Love & Rockets…it's "an ending" but give it a year or so and another story will be coming around the corner probably.

Probably Starman. I think it hasn't aged as well as I'd like, but that ending is rock solid. Planetary and Sleeper are two others that immediately spring to mind.

Morgan is very skippable, a movie that has a few decent ideas at its core, but wastes them to create a dull-looking action movie instead.
