There was a point during Superior Foes where Spencer and Lieber ceased to get individual credits and instead were jointly credited as "storytellers." Gillen and McKelvie got the same treatment for Young Avengers, I believe. It's a telling credit line, and worth noting.

Huh. I'm re-reading Morrison's Batman stuff now and it feels completely different to me. Excellent and fun for very different reasons. More cerebral and off-the-wall, whereas Snyder goes for a more thriller/horror approach.

Ouch, yes. That fisheye lens look was so weird and off-putting.

Hope you like it! Snyder and Capullo definitely have their own take on Batman which seems to create some rather polarized reactions among the comics community.

It is very much a house style which leads to that sense of it being "generic" and therefore very much love it or leave it. You can lump in others like Daniel and Pelletier as well. Janin's also not that far off the mark, but a lot of these artists do have their own flourishes, for good or ill (e.g. Finch's poor work…

"Other" is such a weird category. What an awful poll. My political survey professor in college would have taken one look at this thing and tossed it in the trash.

Oh, and also reading the Streets of Gotham series, which I had always been curious about and managed to pick up on ebay for a song. This is actually an instance where I find the art to be better than the story. I love Dini from B:TAS, but his work here is so scattershot (at least early on), while Nguyen and Fridolfs…

Average week here. Plenty of DC, very little Marvel during the Secret Wars drought. (I hear many of the tie-ins are good. I hope to look at some of the best in six months when they pop up on Marvel Unlimited.)

This is an interesting topic, and something I've tried to self-correct at times. For example, referring to Lazarus not as "Rucka's Lazarus" but as "Rucka and Lark's Lazarus." The book simply wouldn't be what it is with Lark's unique pencils. As pointed out here and countless other places, in this medium, the art is…

Completely agree with the Bryan Fuller pick. I'm almost surprised that he hasn't tried his hand at the field already.

Micucci was in this too. Briefly.

This hot take brought to you by The AV Club.

We have not. Hmm… Well that sounds like an open and shut case right there.

Been there. There are some shows/movies where I build pausing-to-explain into the running time. Not that I mind… nerds gotta nerd, man.

If you're enjoying Secret Wars currently, I'd suggest Hickman's Fantastic Four/FF run. And if you like Esad Ribic's art on that comic, I'd suggest Jason Aaron's recent Thor: God of Thunder run.

Honestly? Just pick it back up with Book 11 or 12. After Jordan died with an uncompleted manuscript for the final book, his widow picked Sanderson to write the final book. Sanderson took a look at Jordan's EXTENSIVE notes for that book and realized under no circumstance could he do it justice in one volume, so it was…

Doable, but I'd suggest grabbing the recently released and affordably priced volume 1 as well.

I… uh… wow. I think I have around 20 or so books on my monthly pull, and I thought that was bad. But this was endless scrolling bad. I both salute you and would like to offer you a blanket and a coffee while gesturing you over to someone who can help you.

I'd go so far as to say Grayson is one of DC's best books currently. Mikel Janin's art is gorgeous, and Tom King and Tim Seeley both have unique voices that complement each other well. Each issue is more or less self-contained while following a broader arc. It's a very DCU take on spy stories.

I commented to my friend who recommended his other work that I was impressed by just how much of Memory of Light was literally The Last Battle… in that it was all of it.
