Art also seems pretty MOR DC House Style.
I guess they share the same universe though? They'll probably be shoe-horned in at some point

I'm sure they'll get a "Weird Shard Panel" in some crossover some day when like Flash donkey kick's the walls of the multiverse and it all shatters and you see a bunch of other worlds.
Fabok drew the recent Batman Annual, which was nice. I may give this a shot, hopefully the backup story will be better then the current one.

Yeah I don't see that happening. It was created solely as a stand alone for people that know nothing about the DCU.
Chew's Layman on Detective is fuckawesome! And it's gorgeous.

YES! Andreyko spills some on the upcoming Blue Devil/Black Lightning run.

Reading this thread makes me both sad and excited. I've been studying abroad in China so I haven't taken my weekly trips to the comic store, but I will have a mound of comics to read when i get home!

I was gonna complain until I saw the artist line-up
So there'll be three Hickman-written Avengers comics coming out every 30 days -- two issues of 'Avengers' and one issue of 'New Avengers,'" Brevoort explained. "And that's important because while Jerome Opena is launching the series and drawing the opening story, Adam Kubert will be the second artist, Dustin Weaver will be the third, and Mike Deodato will be the fourth. I'm sure as we get deeper into the series other guys will be contributing as well, but this powerhouse line-up of illustrators will take us through the first six months of the title.
You win this round, Marvel *shakes fist angrily*
DC's releasing four more annuals in October for Action Comics, Batgirl, Swamp Thing and Justice League Dark.
Strangely, they're all by the regular writers except Action, which has Sholly Fisch and a backup by Max Landis.
Likewise. John Layman has me interested, which is an improvement for the title.

Mentioned it to Benjamin Birdie on Twitter, but Sword of Sorcery #0 with Amethyst debuts in September. The #1 issue should be out before the JLD annual too.
Edit: Unless both of you just mean debuting in JLD, and not in New 52.
Ultimates #12: I don't think i liked it, kind of too crazy for its own good without being "crazy fun". I'm going to see what Humphries can do with it though.
Also read all of the Defenders vol 1 Fraction TPB......all it did was make me wish we had an Immortal Iron Fist book again thanks to issue #6. And they
Not impressed at all. I have issues #7-9 pre-ordered but if 7 isn't good i'll stop ordering. Doctor Strange is lame, and the whole thing with Nul felt like filler to get to the second act.

just randomly killed off some Immortal Weapons? What a cheese tactic to add weight quickly.

I felt the same about the Defenders and I was super pumped about it. And as announced by Alonso, Avengers by Hickman with have at the very least five artists for the first six months. So no point in reading AvX now that we know that it is incredibly likely the ending will be more mutants on Earth. Just waiting to see what lower tier/3 dollar books will be in the lineup.
And entirely amazing. :O
So I'm going to buy all of Morisson's Batman run.
The collections seem to be missing bits and pieces here and there. Am I wrong?
Batman : The Black Glove (deluxe edition) #655-658, 663-669, 672-675
Batman RIP #676-683
Absolute Final Crisis
Return of Bruce Wayne
Batman & Robin 1-3
Batman Inc. V1
Batman Inc. v2
Am I missing anything? And what's with all the gaps in The Black Glove...did someone else do fill-ins or what?
And what the heck is Time and the Batman? http://www.amazon.ca/dp/1401229891/

The second of the two gaps in black glove were the 2 issues of the resurrection of ra's al ghul crossover that happened in the main bat-book and are collected in that trade. Other gap was a fill-in arc.
EDIT: and Time and the batman is the morrison-bats leftovers- issue number 700, which is a standalone thing, and "RIP the Missing Chapter" which is fills in b/t RIP ending and bruce walking in on final crisis.
The first gap is an unrelated arc by John Ostrander.
That second gap is the Batman part of The Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul. It's a bit messy since it crossed four books and four creative teams. It's all collected if you're so inclined.
Time and the Batman is the one you're missing and would want. That's Batman #700-702. It fills in some gaps for Final Crisis and Batman RIP.

I've been talking about this with my buddy. We are convinced that Magneto is going to be the wild card in this conflict. He's been way too quiet, something's up.

I looked into Crossed as per you brahs reccomendations and it looks incredible, can't believe garbage like TWD is a hit instead of stuff like this.
Crossed was too extreme for me, i like the slow, nap inducing TWD pace. Get's me ready to watch a chunk of MSNBC and dust the apartment.
seriously? that's such a disaster of a collection. especially the missing chapter stuff. Maybe they'll reissue the Hardcovers...
DC needs to get their shit together.

I'm not sure if you really need to get the Absolute Edition of Final Crisis, it seems like you're dropping a good amount of coin on all this anyways, you may just wanna get the regular hardcover or just the trade paperback. But hey, it's your money
NEWS ON MULTIVERSITY. GRANT MORRISON GONNA DROP A BOMB ON IT.
Oh damn, I did the same thing via Comixology. Read the entire run in like two weeks. So much fun. You're in for a treat.

Great success!
You can read this or Men of Tomorrow by Gerard Jones.

Alright here is the list of everything you need to buy (in reading order):
Batman: The Black Glove (the newest deluxe edition as only that one contains the Batman and Son stuff, link).
Batman RIP
Final Crisis (really only issues like #2 and 5 and you certainly don't need the Absolute version, just grab the regular trade, it's a great story)
Time and the Batman (this fills in some Final Crisis and RIP gaps)
Return of Bruce Wayne
Batman and Robin Vol 1-3 (actually you should probably read Return halfway through the second volume)
Batman Inc (the one hardcover that is out)
Batman Inc (the two most recent issues)
I think Time and the Batman and Return are a little weak but Batman and Robin is really great Morrison (excluding the arc with the bad Tan art). And Final Crisis (in trade form) is my favorite event book ever.

Damn, I was so excited for this when they announced it after final crisis. I thought it got buried in the chaos of the new 52, hopefully we see it before 2020
John Cassaday on Uncanny Avengers with Rick Remender has me excited. Here's hoping the relaunch doesn't disappoint.
I don't like it.
I mean, those 4 guys are awesome artists, and I love then but 4 artists in 6 months?
There will be no consistency in the art. The best approach is one artist for each arc/story. I don't care if they make it only 3 issues, but one new guy every other month is not the best approach IMO.
Sneak peek at UA cover:
Like Dan said, The Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul has two issues written by Morrison. Also, unless you only want TPBs, the first two issues of the recent run of Batman Inc have just come out so you can jump on that if you want.
Pie and Beans
Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
That Uncanny Avengers cover is terrible. Between this and yesterday's appalling new Marvel vs Capcom Origins artwork, what I wouldnt give for more Marvel covers and art by the Capcom peeps of old (Bengus/CRMK or Shinkiro, and co):
Waaaaaaaaaaaay too much terrible art in and on the front of cape books these days.

There is no emoticon that can express my mirth at those pictures. No.
I don't think so. I think they're officially just best friends, and Misty was deeply in love with Iron Fist the last time I checked.
Though they did kinda joke about it that one time:

Let me guess, Crapcom let those Canadian hacks at Udung loose again? :\
Marvel's comic are being ruined by artists artists. Being able to draw a realistic figure in realistic looking superhero costumes is not visually exciting. Steve Epting and Gabriel Hardman are technically good illustrators, but I'll be god damned if they get any of my money. Shit is so boring to look at.
They are neither

Yes. That style of drawing is so visually uninteresting.
Hang on, my monitor just exploded, so I'm typing blind.
(I'd assume you're lumping Breitweiser in there, so I picked him.)
hmmm.......that makes me want to maybe wait for a re-issue of RIP with the gaps filled in. I mention Absolute Final Crisis specifically because it includes Batman #682-683 and is Morisson's recommended "reading order".
