Damien.... On a later Point, Robin is dropped from the title and the series becomes Batman and... [changing character]
Damian until the events of Morrison's run, then everyone takes turns teaming up with Batman.

Oi vey. Comic books gunna comic.
These are some stats from Diamond's reported estimates.
In August 2013, DC's market share by units and dollars were 33.14% and 30.16%, respectively. In September 2013 those bumped up to 45.17% and 40.39%.
In August 2012, DC's market share by units and dollars were 37.12% and 33.32%, respectively. In September 2012 those bumped up to 41.10% and 36.41%.
So yeah, DC has seen very healthy bumps with these gimmick months each September.

Not really. That's when the series really picks up and becomes fucking great. It's my favorite Bat-title currently, and it has been since Robin's death. Really great stuff in this run.

god damn, he went in. I can see where he's coming from though.
I love variant covers too. They can get pricey, though. I'm tempted to splurge on some more variants for series that I'm more fond of but I've limited myself to $15 max on a single issue. That might have to change as I've been eying quite a few that are double or triple my imposed limit.
Hawkeye #19
Hawkeye's back. Obvious spoilers for those who didn't read a few issues back but Clint and Barney didn't die. Barney is wheelchair-bound and Clint has lost his hearing. Most of the book is expressed through sign language and visual clues, which I thought was done extremely well. I really do miss having a Hawkeye release every month (when it was on schedule) and am sad that it will end in a few short months.

Spider-Man 2099 #1
Miguel O'Hara, the Spider-Man of 2099, is stuck here in current time by his dad who runs Alchemax. Alchemax had just begun to form and Miguel has his sights set on stopping it. I guess some robot dude was sent back to the current time to destroy Miguel (very Terminator-ish). After I had finished the book (it didn't feel like it was a long read), there was actually a lot of action and not much dialog. Then again, maybe that's for the best since there would be a lot of anomalies and inconsistencies on how timelines would work if the terminator robot guy is programmed to allow the killing of those who do not make "considerable contributions" to the future. I haven't read much of Spider-Man 2099 prior to this but I am interested to see where this goes. I'd probably trade wait, though.
Anyone want the Marvel digital code to Hawkeye #19 or Spider-Man 2099 #1, first person to reply requesting for either or both gets my PM.

Sweet.
My current store I am subscribed to is super small and doesn't get incentive covers at all really
The bigger LCS usually gets a few. I am getting the Blank Variant from them,, They're getting one Black & White Variant and will probably charge $15-20.
So I orders the other 2 from MidtownComics.com (black & white and Burnham cover)

Just read the issue of Doom Patrol with the face-off between them and
.
What an awesome issue. Morrison sure knows how to write.
You know, even with how crazy and intricate and deep his plotting is, I think my favorite part of Morrison's writing is his dialogue. It's just so real, natural, and meaningful. With that said, I do love his crazy and intricate plots a lot too.

That does look nice. Does Marvel ever publish anything like DC's Absolute editions or Dark Horse's Library editions?

There's definitely a sad character involved in this, that's for sure.

This is gonna be the greatest crossover ever. Well maybe not ever but it will be AMAZING.

Morrison's Action Comic run was such a disappointment. It started off fantastic. I was digging it like I did his Batman and Robin run. Then it just devolved into a shit show.

Yeah it is actually. It's the one from the first cover/eternal preview.
Gonna go take a lie down. This is too much. DC solicits always take it out of me. It's like a roller coaster of emotions.

I'm hyped for Gotham Academy... whereas the solicit for Teen Titans #4 makes me think this is a book I'm going to read for three issues and then drop.

Here is an excellent write up on Zero Year and why it is an instant classic and one of the best Batman stories told.

The choices of artwork the writer in that article uses just highlights how amazing the coloring is, in both Batman, and Zero Year specifically.

You know what. The creative teams of Batgirl and Gotham Academy are so awesome on twitter and so willing to respond to fan questions ect you can tell they are really exited for people to see their books. The hype is infectious.
