Capullo of course. How anyone who's read Zero Year could think any differently is mystifying.

I'm starting from #21 and reading the entire arc for the first time. On #23, still not a huge fan of the artwork to be honest. :/

I also wish it was a bit less difficult to pick up the issues beyond the release date. I now own issue #33 and all the shops around me don't have the rest of the Zero Year books. Gah!

Well, "Snyder" wasn't an option so I had to go with the artist.

I'm with everybody else on Bruce Timm, but I threw a pity vote to my nigga Marshall Rogers starting the trend of Batman's shadowy cape being COMICALLY LARGE FOR DRAMATIC EFFECT

What is this Zero Year you guys are talking about? A batman story? Is it possible for me to pick it up now, or should I wait for a trade(s)? Do I need to read anything else before it? Just getting into comics again so I'm pretty lost on...everything ha.

You can buy the first trade now and no you don't need to read anything else. But I would urge you to start batman from the beginning with the Court of Owls trade. It's fantastic.

whoa, apparently Batman: Court of Owls is the free app of the week for Starbucks. Cool!

Transformers vs. GI Joe was fun. On board.

Also, who wants a download code for 100th Anniv. Avengers? I imagine it's as good as the X-Men one was bad. Probably.

Ughhh, I really hope my local shop still has a copy of 100th Anniversary Special: Avengers when I get off work. I need it.

God, I would love to see Bertram get a shot at drawing a monthly at either DC or Marvel with an equally unique writer. Even if it was just a 6 issue run, I would be all over that.

Not the full run, but Morrison's Batman and Son Deluxe Edition is on sale on Comixology for $2.99. If you're interested in the run, it's the perfect starting point and it's an excellent price.

It looks like RIP is on sale as well. Basically all of the Morrison run that fell under the "Batman" title (as opposed to Batman & Robin or Batman Incorporated).

Ooh. So for Batman day, Barnes and Noble has some Batman TPBs B2G1. This includes all of the Snyder TPBs. I'm really tempted to finally jump into his stuff since I could get the first three volumes for $20...
Edit: Oh! It's DC graphic novels in general. Oh man...

I've got a question about comic bags. I'm in the process of selling the three older Batman Knightfall TPB's, but I don't know in what bag I need to put them, silver age or golden age? They definitely don't fit in a modern bag.

Not 100% sure about silver/golden age, but they do sale Magazine bags that would easily fit any tpbs.

Shots fired:

Eric Stephenson, publisher of Image Comics took the stage, thanking attendees.

"It's always good to start a speech with a joke. A week ago I woke up to learn that the comic industry was storming San Diego with announcements of licensed series, gender-bending superheroes, and crossover events usually relegated to fanfiction; I texted a friend about it, and he said, 'It's only 10am, are you drunk?'"

"Sadly, this is what's become of the comic book industry. But that's the comic book industry of the past. We've invited you here today to talk about the future," Stephenson said.
