But was it good?

I don't really remember. I liked it, but I can't say for sure if that was because it was good or just because I was a teenager.

LtM we already talked about that in the last topic, keep up.

Star Wars comics can be good too, btw. I've read a bunch, because Star Wars is my life, and I really enjoy the EU.

Batman and Robin, written by Peter J. Tomasi with art by Patrick Gleason and Mick Gray

http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/new-52-batman-and-robin/

Description: Everybody knows the Dynamic Duo, right? The Caped Crusader and the Boy Wonder? Well, we do have the original Batman in this title. The millionaire playboy/philanthropist Bruce Wayne we all know and love is the man under the cowl. But his sidekick here is actually the fifth person to have taken up the domino mask. It's also none other than Bruce Wayne's own son Damian!

"Bruce Wayne has a son?!"

Yes. From having drugged-up desert sex with none other than the Daughter of the Demon herself, Talia al Ghul. Which makes Damian the grandson of this guy:

Oh and he was actually grown in a lab as a fetus, genetically engineered then trained by the League of Assassins, conditioned to become the ULTIMATE WARRIOR. With that kind of "upbringing," he basically turned into a brat who could kill you in a hundred different ways. Much hilarity (and mutilation!) ensued when he was first introduced to the Bat family, considering his desire to take his father's place while having his supervillain lineage and propensity to decapitate his enemies which obviously goes against Batman's strict "no killing" policy. He has mellowed out from being an arrogant antisocial criminal killer, thanks to Dick Grayson, the first Robin, who assumed the mantle of the Bat when Bruce was dead (err... traveling through time) and loosened up Damian and helped mold him into a worthy superhero sidekick.

So this is actually the very first time "Batman and Son" will be teaming up officially and, based on the solicits, the development of that relationship will be the crux of this book. For the first story arc, at least!

The Creative Team: So Peter J. Tomasi hasn't really done anything incredible, having been an editor for most of his comic book career. The only real noteworthy thing he's written was his limited run on Green Lantern Corps when he played the wingman to Geoff Johns in expanding the GL universe that's grown to the comics juggernaut it is now. He developed an ensemble cast, built relationships, created a truly scary villain (with the help of a certain artist) and made great use of an old one, and told some solid stories about intergalactic space cops that really strengthened the Green Lantern brand.

Patrick Gleason is the aforementioned artist I was talking about earlier. He was in charge of art duties for most of that acclaimed GLC run and he was a pretty good fit for it with his crazy, if sometimes confusing and cartoony, art that really showed the strange grotesqueries of the GL world. Which is perfect for Batman and Robin since the book has been the center of all sorts of surreal Batman stories with weird new villains.





Oh and these two have actually worked on one B&R story already before this whole reboot thing. It had a creepy glowing villain who made the relatives of famous Arkham Asylum inmates commit suicide. It was pretty good.

I have no idea who Mick Gray is (like most inkers SORRY) but apparently he's worked with JH Williams whose art is FANTASTIC. So if this Gray guy helps make Williams' art look even better, then I guess he should do well enough for Gleason!

all you need

Ease of Entry: Batman's one of the characters most of us are already familiar with and we're getting the original one here who is pretty much alike the man in the movies and the cartoons everyone's seen. On the flipside, his history isn't being totally rebooted like some of the superheroes in the "New 52" so there will probably be some references to past storylines (like the VERY EXISTENCE OF DAMIAN WAYNE) that might require reading to fully appreciate what will be happening in this book. Of course, there's nothing a short visit to Wikipedia can't address! And as I've already mentioned, this is the first time Bruce and his son Damian will actually be working as partners so it's gonna be a new adventure for both old comics readers and newbies.

I'd say there might be a little difficulty for first-time readers but it could be easily overcome with a little research.

Recommendation: Although I wouldn't say that this is a must-buy title, the solid creative team and just the idea of the obsessive brooding hardass that is Bruce Wayne Batman trying to be a good dad to his smug and sometimes savage son Damian who deep down just wants to prove himself worthy to his father make this interesting enough to check out. Or it could just be the Batman fanboy in me.

Despite the announcement of 52 books, the fan explained, a lot of favorite creators don't seem to be represented, mentioning Amanda Connor by name. Palmiotti was quick to assure the fan that Connor -- Palmiotti's wife -- was actually working on two books for the publisher's relaunch, they just won't be ready for September. Offering his own experiences as an example of how much there is left to be announced, Palmiotti told the audience, "I have three books I can't talk about yet.

Awwwwwww yeah


Wonder Woman was specifically called out as a character whose outfit changes are explained as a part of her story.

Hahaaaaaaaaa


The JSA will be showing up eventually.

A couple weeks ago, I was absolutely stunned that one of the greatest comic books in the past 30+ years was out-of-print. Thank you for correcting this grievous error, Marvel...although I already have the oversized version ^_^

Starting to warm up to Swordstroke.

When's that for? November? If so, that'll be an expensive month. Image has oversized hardcovers of The Nightly News and Morning Glories, while DC has a really good Dwayne McDuffie Batman book and an anthology of Chase.

When there's nothing left to burn, you have to set Bidoof on fire.

Don't forget the double-thick Black Mirror hardcover.

That McDuffie book is only 8 bucks! Gettin' it.

That Johns Teen Titans Omnibus is tempting....but nah.

Why would I buy that when next year there will be a hardcover with Snyder's entire run?

Yeezy taught me.

This is the hardcover with Snyder's entire run.

The solicit is an error.

Oh. That makes it better.

Amazon is crazy. I just looked up the price of the Morning Glories hardcover, and it's $23 CAD ($26 on the American site). 45% off! Placing orders for that and Black Mirror right now and it's just under $50. Too good.

Oh well at least you bought it.

the comic book shop next to the book store I work at has great deals for old marvel omnibuses. the comic shop I go to for singles has staff picks on sale regularly. heck, even the book store i work for takes in trades -- I can get essentials for $5. i'm lucky to have a few options, but if i didn't, make mine amazon.

Unfortunately Dr. No's has a hard-on for printed price. No matter how old a trade is, if there's a pricetag on that back end then that's what you're paying.

"Biting is excellent- it's like kissing only there's a winner."

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of what is now called FEAR ITSELF 7.1 - CAPTAIN AMERICA to my longtime Cap readers.

All I'm saying is, if you're one of my longtime Cap readers, the Fear Itself 7.1 issue will be a big thing.

Not only is it some of Butch's finest artwork, but it sets up my next year of Marvel work on Cap and a secret book yet to be announced.

Retailers will be wishing they had more stock in this issue come January, with the new secret #1 that's debuting.

Please Brubaker, let this be some awesome new Bucky Barnes on-going in January.
