What did everyone read?

@avclub-dc159a30f1e7fe7352b88109050f5512:disqus Nice. I'm super-psyched then. I really couldn't see this continuing beyond the first story unless Sebela wants to follow Zan's adventures staying one step ahead of the law.

Yeah, it was great; especially the cliffhanger.

EVERYONE! What did you pick up?

I second this. Incognito borrows a lot of themes and plot points from Sleeper, like Brubaker wanted to keep writing Sleeper but was no longer allowed to play in the Wildstorm sandbox.

I got caught up on A&A, and it's not the be-all-and-end-all for me that it seems to be for most people. My roommate swears by it; I think it's a pleasantly funny comic with average art that I would only enjoy for 99 cents an issue.

I think the shock of the series is that we don't realize until its latter half how dedicated and zealous Mitchell is about protecting the world from the invaders. He genuinely thinks he's the only thing standing between the Earth and its would-be conquerors, and will do anything to ensure that he's in the right place…

Did you like Y the Last Man? I find that people are either drawn to that or Ex Machina.

See, I prefer it to what I've read so far of Y The Last Man. And the final issue of Ex Machina is just heart-breaking. What don't you like about it?

What I've read of New 52 Flash has all been good. I'd really like to catch up to the Grodd stuff.

A) Ha. Point taken!
B) I don't know; my personal belief is that stories with characters that have 50+ years of continuity should either strive to say something new (which we've established is not-impossible-but-difficult) or say something similar in a new way. Besides the art (Capullo KILLS it on this book), nothing…

Didn't Superior Spider-man just beat the shit out of him and Screwball?

@avclub-9e3b631d801e19a9e92a405ea759e09f:disqus "The Widow" was the weakest arc in the book; you won't hear any disagreements there. Since so much of Bendis' run was subverting tropes and expectations that had become commonplace since the Miller days, the entire arc felt like Bendis saying, "Well, Miller had a Black…

@MatthewGarcia:disqus But hasn't the point about Batman preserving the lives of his villains at the detriment of his partners been done to death elsewhere? Wasn't that explored fully enough in the aftermath of Jason Todd's death? Since the themes of the story were already addressed before, I can't help but be unable…

Same here, man. I picked it up fully expecting this week's pick would be Zero. I was surprised it was Daredevil since it's been reviewed before (No complaints, though, it's incredible).

Black Mirror stands above all, though, as his best work, even though it traffics in darkness for darkness' sake and "everything you know is wrong!" Jock and Francavilla's contributions are what pull it a cut above the rest.

I stopped reading Batman after Death of the Family. Way too much darkness for darkness' sake, extending storylines far beyond their reasonable end point (Court of Owls, I'm looking at you), and too much reliance on "everything you know is wrong!" When I hear about Zero Year and realized it would likely combine all…

Agreed on Aja too!

I read the first issue of Nowhere Men and couldn't get into it. It didn't quite come off as coherent for me.

Yeah, Marcos Martin, Paolo Rivera, and Emma Rios are probably in my top 5 right now.
