So, I tried an issue of Heavy Metal...
Halloween issue had some good stuff. It had a lot of artists I was not aware of that are super rad. The comics, though. Woof. Weird Morrison Noir Cat detective story. Lots of short "horror" stories that are basically throw away ideas. No good.
Batman Annual 1, on the other hand. Hot fire. So many warm smiles. Except for the Dini, Adams story. That was more of a garbage fire. Possibly due to Harley Quinn and some really really terrible work from Neal Adams. The other stories were great.
