Anyone else read the first two issues of Rucka's The Old Guard?
It just seems so damn bland to me. Very little characterization, narrative pull, and just overall very little going on.

I just finished the Year One graphic novel and loved it. Below is my list of planned Batman graphic novels to read. What I need help with is properly ordering them and possibly removing a few off the list. I am not looking to add any more to this list (at least not at this time.) So how would you guys adjust this order or cut any from the list?
Thanks!
- The Man Who Laughs
- The Long Halloween
- Dark Victory
- The Killing Joke
- A Death in the Family
- Knightfall 1
- Knightfall 2
- Knightfall 3
- Hush
- Under the Red Hood
- The Black Glove
- Heart of Hush
- Batman and Son
- Batman RIP
- Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?
- The Black Mirror
- The Dark Knight Returns
- DKIII
- The new 52
Thanks!

I'm not sure I see the similarities of Deadly Class and Persona, but it's nice Bakalar reads nice comics!
I see where he's coming from as a guy who doesn't really know jrpgs or persona.
A team of kids at school, who have crazy adventures but also have to balance relationships.
Of course Deadly Class is a lot darker and more mature (not to mention violent) than Persona ever was.
I would also look up Paul Dinis run in Detective Comics. And maybe read it before the Morrison run. It includes several story arcs and one offs, including the excellent 'Heart of Hush'.
It's all been collected in several trades.
In order I believe they are:
Batman
etectiveBatman : Death and the City
Batman : Private Casebook
Batman : Heart of Hush
DC should really do a big collection of Dini Batman.
Oh also read Mad Love. A one off story also by Dini.

I did. So that should be fun
I thought it was dumb.
I liked the idea of a zen master with a star for a head too much. And the lengths Magneto went to just didn't make sense.
I wouldn't read The Black Glove, Batman and Son, and Batman RIP unless you're going to read the whole Morrison run, so you can cut those out since you're not wanting to add to the list.
About Knightfall trilogy, you may want to pace yourself. That's like almost 2000 pages of very 90s content. Maybe do one volume and then read a couple others from the list before doing another volume.

Don't bother with DKIII. I'd probably bump up DKR since it's an alternate universe story and can be read any time.

It's great. One of the best books going right now.
Well, that sucks.

The Beat, Bleeding Cool on a good day, Comicosity and Newsarama. CBR is only good for previews and Cronin pieces now.

Comics Alliance wasnt as good as it used to be when Wheeler was more involved and Asselin was there but it was still pretty good.
Ill miss it. It was pretty much the only comics site I would go to once CBR went to sell out status

This would be my pick. Predictable, but I like their Mignola coverage haha. They do a good mix of weekly features and articles too. They've provided some fantastic interview podcasts as well.
Also, I know comicosity's review scores are ridiculous, but I kind of love there's such a positive vibe and culture there, at least that's what I get where they tend to review stuff so highly and be so enthusiastic.

I dunno, someone named Birdie writes for them. How good can they be?

It's not like he signs them "Birdie".
>_< actually monthly issue reviews are about the only thing I don't read on the site since I'm a tradewaiter haha.

LOL, someone told Wheeler to Kickstart a comic site. Comic sites don't make money to sustain themselves. Everyone is sticking to blogging.

Personally I'd ditch the Killing Joke, Hush, Under the Red Hood, and DK3. And if you're going to read the Black Glove, Batman and Son, and RIP, you should read Morrison's Batman & Robin, and Batman Inc to finish out his run.

You should've plugged yours in this post. Strike while it's hot.

Cheers for the answers regarding Clean Room on the last page btw. Maybe I'll hold off on that then? It'll probably come down to my next order and if I'm looking to fill it or cut it down.
We should totally do a podcast that I won't feature on but it should totally include Zombine as my art surrogate.
