Purple seems to be a really good coloring choice for Batman.
I read the first issue of the Island of Scars arc of Green Arrow. I love this book and I love the art. All 3 art teams on the book are slaying. I think the only other book I can say that about is Superman. If I was ranking them I think I'd go :
1. Otto Schmidt
2. Stephen Byrne
3. Juan Ferreyra
But as I say all are wonderful. I wish they would rotate arcs. Otto Schmidt should have done both issues of Island of Scars.
Also I'd like to say it's incredible that Stephen Byrne does the drawing and colouring himself. He is awesome.
If DC doesn't OHC this and Aquaman gets one then they fucked up.

All three of them color their own work.
That's madness
I guess I meant more that Byrne is a relative newcomer and he is doing such distinctive work. I'm surprised he colours it.
All amazing artists. Definitely one of the best looking ongoings. I love artists who do their own coloring, too. I think in some cases Ferreyra would be my favorite, but for this particular book, I agree with your ranking.
He also drew the JLA: The Ray Rebirth one shot that comes out this week
Is he a machine?

I already read them all. Only because I have no interest after the demo. Wasn't for me.
yea each one does their own art. Which is truly amazing. I am positive Otto did all Island of scars before it switched over to Ferreyra.
He did one of the two issues, Byrne did the second.

Going to bed. Heroclix is still fun. Birds of Prey plus Lockjaws for life.
Beyond that, don't try to have a discussion in a thread that you know you won't get anywhere in. It's like saying, "I'm going to eat healthy tonight!" And then pulling onto a street filled only with fast food restaurants. Either go to a different part of town, or you try to sift through it all until you find the one thing that might be healthy. Gaming side is way more toxic than OT, I find, and it's mostly because a lot of threads just die because everyone goes, "I ain't got time for this," but on gaming side every fight is picked ever. It's ludicrous. Even I carried this on too long.
Who doesn't? My point is, though, is that people will fight the fights they want to fight. Maybe you can convince people to flip, but it doesn't mean either one is right or not.

Are you a Chiefs fan as well? That was indeed a tough loss, particularly with the penalty that nullified the 2 pt. conversion.

The need for Batman comics in my life again led me to getting the first two issues of All Star Batman. It's pretty much what I expected, both good and bad. I really like the concept behind the story, the road trip with Two Face, and so far it's paced really well, as each issue has really punchy moments and fun Grindhouse attitude. As an action book, I think it's quite good (aided enormously by Romita Jr's pretty fantastic pencils). Things really bog down though when Snyder starts filling up the panels with dialogue balloons though. It seems he's gotten worse about this post New 52, with characters over talking and hammering home the very obvious theme in a really stilted manner. Definitely led to some groans on my part. Gonna stick with it though I think, the pros still definitely outweigh the cons where I'm at.
I'm open to recommendations for some superior Batman reading though. I've already read all of Snyder's new 52 run, Morrison's whole run, year one, dark knight returns, Arkham Asylum, the killing joke, long halloween, and I own but haven't yet read Hush. Year One and Morrison's run being by far my favorites of what I've read.
Also read up through the Red Jack story in Morrison's Doom Patrol. Classic Morrison cosmic/literary insanity with a Frankenstein monster team frames the superhero action in a far more interesting light than I would assume most team books are.

Read through the first volume of Sheriff of Babylon yesterday (#1 - #6). Great setting, interesting set-up and characters. Some really good panel layouts. But the dialogue pacing was a bit of a let down for me. Maybe it was intentional to depict the awkwardness in a conversation between two people where one of them is not fluent in the language being used. But that same stiffness seemed to carry over to conversations too.
If you like the bat-family then I'd recommend No Man's Land. It's a considerably long read, but it's one of my all time Batman favorites (except for the one Larry Hama issue which feels like it was written for 7 year olds).
Also, you already own Year One. That's likely the best Batman story ever told and is a quick read, so that should be first.
Yeah, that was a tough game as well. Your team looks absolutely set for the future though with an affordable QB + RB combo that will make the rest of the team that much better for years to come.

I see Lucifer has hit #14. (Which I have to say is about 6 issues more than I thought it would stick around for.) How has it been?
DC is doing a pretty decent job with their trade pricing.
Flash - 9 issues for $18
Green Lantern - 7 issues for $17
Nightwing - 7 issues for $17

Thor v1 - 5 issues for $20

Could be worse you guys. You could be Vikings fans.
Or Bengals fans
That would be rough. The loss last year was brutal with the penalties. I think if I could go back to 1990 or so when I became a Chiefs fan I'd talk myself out of it. The NFL brings me more misery than joy most years.

"Dino, short for dinosaur? Remember to ask Jeeves."
That's not to mention that Marvel trades are like the cheapest quality things ever. Thin covers and insanely thin paper.

It should have been more obvious to people after they dropped Sonic in favour of Riverdale for FCBD. The license would be a good fit for Boom's Kaboom line.
I hope that show is good but it doesn't really interest me. It's a Netflix Original here so I'll try an episode or two. It's hard to do a Twin Peaks homage when the actual Twin Peaks is back this year.
It's not a Netflix Original, it's a CW show.
Also it seems Ottley forgot them memo about Vixen's hair.

DC or Marvel should be ready to scoop up Ottley once Invincible finishes.

It's marketed as a Netflix Original in Ireland. If you know a way to get the CW in Ireland, I am all ears.

I'm trying to think of what DC or Marvel character he would fit best on. Maybe LoSH?
If they didn't already have a good artist on Super-Sons I think his style would work well for that. I'd be interested in seeing him draw a Cassandra Cain series if they ever did another one.

Oh, that would be great.
Well it's marketed everywhere else as a CW show. Even the twitter page is @CW_Riverdale.

Missed two new JL8 strips!:
Would their website work with a VPN or one of the free region changing add-ons for browsers?
I'm gonna put it like this: if you hate the current Merry Marvel Way of throwing aside established continuity or characterization to chase the ever elusive publicity of Stunts and Events, no matter how unsustainable this is in the long run, the blueprint for that is in Dan Slott's Spider-Man run. It's all SHOCKING TWISTS that are gonna change Peter Parker FOREVER except not, crying wolf to get quick headlines on BC and The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision blog. And it's competent, sometimes, they even put good artists on it every once in a while, but it got tiresome really fast, and now it's the entire Marvel line.

I thought DC had asked him to stop or was I mistaken?
