My boyfriend and I went to see WIZARD OF OZ. And, like when RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK had the IMAX release last year, it was fantastic.

Serious House on a Serious Earth is a Grant Morrison/Dave McKean graphic novel from the late 80s I think. It also served as an inspiration for the first Batman game. It's crazy and the art is bonkers and the themes and motifs Morrison's going for range from Alice to Tarot to cycles of the moon. It's atmospheric and…

@avclub-9a395ceaaad37c03a10af45ea1d07abc:disqus A.) You're talking about superhero comics and saying something's been done to death?

@avclub-28b1819668d7c62501acb9852cad10a9:disqus He was given Batman before the New 52 started, because Tony S. Daniel decided that he wanted to write on Detective for a while. Or had a mystery he wanted to write. Or something like that.

I love "Nowhere Men" but it's a sort of forest through the trees kind of book. Also, it's frustrating being a fan of the book because it gets published about once a quarter — though the work Bellegarde is putting out is so so good.

I don't think "Zero" is quite at "Saga" levels yet, mostly because this is only issue 1, but it's the only book I picked up this week and I thought it was pretty intriguing and well-executed, and, most of all, assuredly delivered. Like, there's a confidence in the script, in the delivery and the way it unravels and…

@avclub-28b1819668d7c62501acb9852cad10a9:disqus Disagreed, since he burst out of Vertigo and made his name writing Detective Comics. As much as I love "Court of Owls" and "Death of the Family," his "Black Mirror" remains his strongest superhero work.

Snyder's a great talent and his Batman book remains one of the best things DC's putting out right now — or anyone for that matter. Yeah, he gets a little Dumbledore-filling-in-all-the-blanks-for-Harry at the times, but his sense of mood, pacing, atmosphere, and character, and his close collaborations with his artists,…

For their part, AMC is playing it up pretty well too. On their solicitations and Wikipedia summaries, they don't list any of the actors. Just the writer and director.

I know you're just a troll, but something about your comment rubs me the wrong way.

Thank you! Right now, I'm reading/watching the big stuff, or looking through Netflix to see if they have anything interesting. I've seen "Paprika" but not "Tokyo Godfathers", so I'll get on that.

You know, Marvel is doing the EXACT same thing. Let's not kid ourselves.

OH! I also decided I didn't have enough knowledge/experience reading manga or watching anime or whatever, so I found 20th CENTURY BOYS, which is pretty great so far, and have finally gotten around to watching COWBOY BEBOP.

Have you read her "Kid Eternity" series from around the same time?

Me too!

I kinda felt the same way about his Harley issue — flashes of the stuff I really like out of Kindt's work, but buried beneath kind of a generic origin story.

Li'l Gotham is wonderful and the whole series is worth looking at.

Yes! Ryan North/Shelly Lamb are turning a book just as great as the TV show.                                                                                                                                                                

I don't think the story is lacking so much as that Way and Shaun Simon set up a lot of stuff and story to happen, and it's on issue 4 of 6 and the action finally moved forward.

Collider/FBP 3 — which I really am digging the art for, though the story goes from really great moments to really low moments.
