I really liked when Burnham was brought in to replace Quietly on Batman Inc, most people thought he was a direct copy. Now he's an entirely different artist who mostly resembles quietly in his focus on gritty details of heroics. I love both.

They've really done an astounding job adding variety to that line. I don't think enough can be said about Mark Doyle. Going from the spy thrills of Grayson to more kid-friendly books like Gotham Academy and off beat stuff like We are Robin and Robin: Son of Batman shows a willingness to really experiment with these…
Yeah but what if instead of all that, there was just this moon-faced kid who just sort of slows most of the episodes to an absolute crawl? That would be wildly more exciting.
Lauren Lapkus as Mr. Pink is very possibly the best idea for this.
I think it helps that in many of the places where atrocities against Native American and First Nation people have taken place, a substantial population of those groups still remain. It's much harder to put up a tacky or offensive attraction when the residents of an area have all grown up in the shadow of atrocity. I…
As far as formative pop culture for me, "Bewitched" and "Teen Witch" float awfully close to the top. It explains both so much and so little of how I've ended up the way I am.
I've heard about him being rude to fans both online and off but I really don't know much beyond that. I just detest his artwork.
It is a great, profoundly well thought out issue. If you didn't think Ostrander was one of the best writers in the game before, that issue should change your mind.
It's weird for me because a lot of the reasons I hate Booth's work could just as easily describe work I adore. His cartooniness has a tendency to be grating and he draws almost every character the same, all lanky legs and freakishly long arms with too wide mouths. It's almost like looking at a political cartoon…
He's one of those artists that just looking at his work makes me angry. It's a short list but he's near the top of it.
I dropped Flash as soon as Brett Booth got the job. That's one artist I absolutely cannot support.
I've loved all of the Brubaker/Phillips joints but by far The Fade Out is my favorite. It is absolutely fantastic and I didn't think much could be better than Fatale.
He really looks like Ultimate Thor to me. I already miss the Parker/Pelletier run.
Like I said, I think it's debatable how successful the tactic is but about half of the DC comics I picked up Wednesday were less than $3. If I was a new reader trying out a new book, I think being able to try one on the cheap would matter to me. Marvel certainly isn't using that tactic and I think DC sees it as an…
DC doesn't want to charge $3.99 to $4.99 for every comic, unlike the competition. An ad like that is kind of the only way to do that. I think it's debatable how successful their tactics are but it may have an impact for new readers.
Ugh, you're right on the name. I blame it on too much SoulCalibur II in my youth.
The "which one of you had weird sex on the couch" gag was the best thing Gail Simone has written in years and the ending was perfect. I'm glad to see her back on her game.
I really want the relationship between Death and Xianghua to end as the narration describes. There's a mythic sense of storytelling on top of Hickman's retelling of American history and I want that sense of almost fable-like structure to remain. Xianghua is a great character though.
"So wait, you fucked your sister too?"
"You know, I hadn't thought about that until right now, but I guess I did."
Nothing for me will ever top the moment in "Farts and Procreation" when Harris realizes he can make a Carls Jr. joke by naming his character Carl S'junior.
