I see it as a representation of how the West is influencing Chinese culture, and creating a clash of ideologies in China. You have the Big Ten who are the traditionalists, and think that the old ways are fine as they are. The Ministry is trying to appropriate iconic Western symbols for control. And the Freedom…

Despite the familiarity, I find that the top books so far have been those that aren't afraid to explore new themes and break tradition despite using well-established characters, like King's Batman, Priest's Deathstroke, Seeley's Nightwing. Books like Percy's Green Arrow, Jurgens's Action Comics, and Lobdell's Red Hood…

Batfamily books sell. The reason Midnighter failed financially is the same reason most of the other new DCYou books failed: because DC's brand was heavily damaged. Convergence was a flop, and the big name books were hit with either badly managed status quos (Superman), or terrible creative teams (Wonder Woman, Flash,…

Funny enough, his first issue (Grayson Futures End) was too clever, and got bad reviews because it went over the head of most reviewers who were expecting a generic cape story.

Problem with the Kojima and a lot of the old Metal Gear Solid games is that Kojima writes like he wants MGS to be a film, but doesn't actually know anything about filmmaking. The lengthy exposition sequences, dragged out "dance-battling" cutscenes, the fan pandering, etc are all detrimental to the story the game's…

That's Geoff Johns and his love for the Silver Age, though.

Just jump in at the start of any series (or any writer's run on a title). Comics are cyclical in nature. They're not like Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad, where you need to start from the first episode. They're more like… Doctor Who, where you can just start with the most recent Doctor.

Yeah, Jason and Tim are the "Black Sheep" and "The Other Guy", respectively of the Batfamily. It's doesn't help that both of these characters have been mishandled by Scott Lobdell, and aren't part of Mark Doyle's awesome editorial.

I feel like calling Batgirl "the redhead" isn't specific enough, given Dick Grayson's dating history.

He was supposed to be a hateable little shit at first. But then he teamed up with Dick Grayson Batman, underwent character development, showed his human side, and stood up to his murderous mother. So now he's a likeable little shit.

Yeah, I like how Dixon wrote them as two old friends/colleagues who have been through so much together. It feels a lot more realistic than a lot of superhero couples.

That would have been perfect. Let new readers get familiarized with a new generation of A-list heroes, instead of trying to rehash old stories.

Definitely Archer and Lana here.
