IIRC Bolland was one of the first artists to adopt digital methods of drawing. He's always been a forward thinking dude.
According to this interview on his website, he's 100% digital. Given that the website looks like it came out of the mid 90s Im gonna assume he's been digital since at least then

In that case, you should at least read some of the pre-N52 Birds of Prey.
similar to my own, now that I looked.

Oh damn, he invented Oracle too?
I'm just getting to the bit with her in Squad, didn't know that's where that role came from. Goddamn, this is one hell of a book.
Thought you were dropping Wic Div.

A few of us did, but we're just buying this for the Tula Lotay art.

So I just finished Strange (2009) and I'm feeling slightly ripped off here. It's like that wrote it to set up a new series or something and as far as I can tell there never was. The arc had like NO resolution, really. Wtf? I really enjoyed The Oath, but this was a bit disappointing.
I've moved on to the Ghost Rider books featured in the Marvel Ultimate Reading Club and so far have really liked them! It was cool to listen to the episode where they discussed it and then go get to read the issues also. It's a really cool concept, and it would be neat if other podcasters tried it.
For what it's worth I'm giving the Comics Conspiracy podcast a shot. So far it's pretty good!

Tula lotay. I also own the trade of the second volume. Got it before I read the first so I suppose I'll see what annoyed all of you about my favorite character.
Separate The Killing Joke from what follows. Ostrander+co salvaged the character. Do not credit what follows to The Killing Joke. That was never part of the original story.
Funny you brought this up, I had come across this page not to long ago that made me want to read Oracle Year One
Goddamn.
Story seems to be here, if anyone else wants it: https://m.comixology.com/The-Batman-Chronicles-1995-2001-5/digital-comic/66987
True, he does get tons of stupid questions on his page so it makes sense that he would get mad. Better than Stephen Wacker for sure, he wouldn't engage with positive fans on forums and only liked to debate the negative ones.

Thanks for linking that. I was looking on Amazon and found bugger all.

If it exists I'll pay the full price.
No problem. I searched for it on CMX to start, but I didn't realize it was basically a one-shot inside of something else. Apparently it takes up 18 of those 40 pages.
I don't think it exists sadly

Remember when the last book in the Blackman-Williams Batwoman run was solicited as a tpb but somehow came out in both formats?
Yeah because there was an outrage

I'm outraged. Anyone else outraged? Do I have to fight DC by myself?

I only ever saw it in HC, which was how it popped up at IST and bookstores. But didn't you say your LCS got in the paperback?

I fight DC by not buying shitty books. My DC list is down to Omega Men, JL3001, Gotham Academy, Grayson, Catwoman, Starfire, Prez, and maybe a couple others...
Yeah they are all in tpb now. The last Batwoman Vol didn't get a HC.
You dropped Harley? Get out.

For sure. I can't imagine what a digitally drawn comic would look like in the 80s. I'm just saying Bolland was definitely a forward thinking artist which is why his art doesn't look dated

In other great news, I tracked down the last three trades of Rucka's Wonder Woman run. They are being shipped to me from three different libraries across Michigan. I love the library network here.
My library just emailed me that I could pick up volumes 1 and 2. I'll soon know which side of the line I will be on.

Batwoman volumes that deserve hardcovers get hardcovers.
I thought we talked about this. You said people shouldn't buy books they're not enjoying.
Not yet. But I was going to check it out. Digital of course, fuck floppies.

I have a confession to make: I picked up the Harley backissues in that ridiculous "fucking everything DC's put out in the last 5 years for a dollar each" sale, and as much as I tried... I just don't like it.
I still love the character, but the series is doing nothing for me.

Sorry, Messi, I couldn't even get the through the last issue with the Popeye reject. It was just so uninteresting.
That's fine. I understand that.
You don't have to explain anything. Just don't come by the clubhouse anymore. Don't make it weird.

I read Strange Tales II on Marvel Unlimited, there's some weird, funny stuff in there. It's a 3-issue anthology mini where they took artists they wouldn't normally hire and had them do short stories with whatever Marvel characters they wanted. probably the closest thing they have to Solo. There's good stuff in here, even if some of it feels hampered by the page counts - stories by Los Bros, Kate Beaton, James Stokoe, Terry Moore, Jillian Tamaki, Ben Marra, Jeff Lemire, Gene Yang, etc. Standouts for me include:
Sheldon Vella doing a Ghost Rider thing, also one of the better uses of music in comics i've seen (because basically just imagine a Motorhead song)
Rafael Grampa doing a dope Wolverine-fighting-league story
a pretty hilarious Jhonen Vasquez story with fat Wolverine
Ant-Man by Jon Vermilyea, a guy i'd never heard of before
(note - not Farel Dalrymple)
and my personal fav, Jeffrey Brown tackling X-Men romantic drama

other good shit - Jaime Hernandez's Marvel ladies beach party, Paul Maybury's Spider-Man, all of Kate Beaton's two-pagers, Michael Deforge's weirdly dark Iceman short, Jillian Tamaki's Dazzler. lot of it. It's def worth checking out
The folks in the F4 thread say its from a review.
My god, what the hell where they thinking. My fucking god.

That Wolverine story is the best Logan comic in years in either direction, Serp
Ok if I can't do fake spoilers about Peter Parker comics, you don't get to do this shit
