hahaha you crack me up man
Really? I'd heard some not-so-good things about Animal Man's omnibus edition. I really want to read it, though.
I bought the Planetary Omnibus and the Ultimate Spider-Man Omnibus. I had read about the difference in binding quality, but experiencing it is completely different. I still feel like I'm going to break Planetary no matter how gentle I am with it.

these come in handy
I enjoyed it but was disappointed that it's used as a way to launch a new series, so don't expect any closure to the story.
Thanks. I'll hold off and get to reading Fraction's run on Iron Fist and Bendis' run on Daredevil.

The packaging is fantastic, but it feels a bit stiff with the pages and whatnot when you first start reading. That would be my only complaint. DC has been improving their omnibus line pretty substantially. They trying, man.
But DC One Million is pretty much prefect. Pretty rad stories so far, too.

I always feel like book lights aren't bright enough.
What do you use for night reading?
I sit at my dining room table that has a nice overlight. Or if I'm in the game room, there's a lamp next to the recliners. It's still not as ideal as reading during the day though

These old FF Costumes really looks like they were Pjamas.
Anyway, I like how ComicGAF remind me constant to buy Hickmans Avengers.
Is his FF stuff accessible, too? I was never into FF, but you dudes really make me curious of it.

Just ordered the Annihilation omnibus for half off with free shipping from IST.
Get on that if you wanted it. I don't think there'll be a better deal. 50% off is my trigger price.

The Jim Lee art was great. The story is a mess, like with most stuff Jeph Loeb puts out. It serves as this revolving door for him to showcase all of Batman's notable rogues gallery, like Don Sterling leading someone into the Clippers' showers to show off all those "beautiful black bodies." They're not there for any reason borne out of the story organically developing and requiring them, they're simply trotted out and given their five minutes of panel time because Loeb feels like showing them off. And it's always this mystery story that Loeb likes to weave that doesn't tend to make any real sense but just kinda meanders here and there like some Lindelof creation and you're just supposed to go with it but doesn't stand up to any rational scrutiny. In most mystery novels, the author invites you to play along and try to decipher the mystery along with the protagonist. But Loeb's mystery plotlines are so nonsensical and convoluted that there's no point, because it'll undoubtedly come out of nowhere and be something that nobody could've ever reached just from the clues.
And I haven't even mentioned the baffling motivations behind the mystery villain in Hush.
I admire the eye candy in Hush, but there's about it. The only Jeph Loeb story I actually like is Superman for All Seasons.

Heart of Hush was great.
You missed a couple of words there bro.
Its one of the books that got me back into comics. Its a good first batman book for all the reasons you listed.
Heart of Hush war this issue, were Hush

I guess that's why its being listed for must read for new reader at some site when I'm looking to google some moment ago
Oh well the art is slick. and maybe I'm not gonna recognize the bad before awhile..

You just made me remember that post final crisis,
Hush is a stand in for Bruce Wayne
Be sure to check out The Gauntlet and Grim Hunt as well.

Quick question: Is Batman Eternal directly related to Snyder's Batman? Like, if I haven't read Snyder's Batman yet but plan to, would I be spoiled by reading Batman Eternal?
Aren't the Gotham Central hardcovers standard size, not deluxe? And either way, they're OOP and pretty expensive IIRC.

Four issues in that hasn't been the case so I think you should be relatively safe.
Yeah, I don't think Fraction is the one slowing Hawkeye down. He probably has scripts in the already done and waiting for Aja to get his shit together.

I wonder how many memos Fraction got from editors saying "Just let Khoi Pham finish the series"
