oh god, I might tough out the last few issues of the Simon run if Seeley is taking over after that
Hellblazer has been a messy comic I can't get away from, but man it would be nice to have a good John Constantine book

Mmm, I think Zero Year was a bit too big for itself, I like that Death Of The Family is just the one vol. (although I guess the second part comes later). Like I said though, it's all a matter of degrees at a certain point, imo none of the new 52 stuff is worse than pretty good.

Seeley tweeted a bit in the last hour about it(and posted a photo they used as a reference for the cover). Also there's apparently a Revival movie on the way???
Zero Year lost me a bit because of the length and it's tonal shift in not only the story but the coloring. I guess he wanted to make everything a bit less serious and more "fun" for lack of better words but it didn't really work for me. I like my Batman as edgelord as possible.
While stuff like this is really beautifully colored.
I prefer this greyscale tone more when it comes to Batman.
[edit[
What happened to FCO, anyway? He vanished.

Ooooh yea. Don't think it's due here until the 13th of June but that one is locked in.

Why does that not look like Zod at all?
Well I decided. Had a couple old Barnes and Noble gift cards ready, applied the 30% off coupon I got, and blam getting Peter Parker artfx+ later this week. Looking awesome and won't be a big figure to handle either. Plus that base is freaking sick too.
Now to not be tempted by the rest of this line!

I'm about halfway through Batman and Robin Eternal vol. 2 and I'm just reading it to see the series through its end at this point. Mostly bland comics with the occasional bright spot here and there. Vol 2 takes a big hit in the art department compared to vol. 1, like there's a good issue with Marcio Takara and some good Paul Pelletier stuff, and most of the rest is average at best
Merino is a weird choice. Same with Philip Tan on that short stint he did
This is a personal attack

That car wreck was included knowingly by the director as a cry for help.
What do you mean? That looks exactly like his chiseled posterior.

Prime 1 statue? That one looks pretty tall with the base.
Yeah. It's 27 inches in total.
Just pop the head off.
Heh damn.
Zero Year is sooo good.
Zero Year is damn good.
Bad advice, go for the legs and pretend it's a bust.

Of course it won't. The high-end stuff is huge. Your only hope is to remove a bottom shelf and put it down there. But that won't work either if the statue is too deep. Those things have weight to them, so I wouldn't trust a glass shelf with it anyway. I think the limit on those is 20 lbs. but that still seems like pushing it to me.
Or you could pretend he's fighting the Spot and turn it into two figures.
You haven't been reading Suicide Squad. Zod's been PUMPED.

I didn't know that Suicide Squad is a book I should be reading. Where did Zod even come from?
No contest. Snyder's Riddler is better then his Joker.

I've just read the first volume of Batman Eternal and Zero Year (the entire thing) and I'm in love with both.
You didn't get it from the 15 times I mentioned how good it is in the past 3-4 months?

Its not very enjoyable. Two issues in and you don't really have a good understanding of the main character or her motivations. Too bad, I wanted to like it
Yeah I agree. I feel like Brandon is tyring to go the mysterious route like he did with Drifter but all we've gotten so far is a dull story with a complete lack of information.

Just read the crossover with the Justice League to see if you like it. I went up to that point with SS, but dropped off shortly after.
Justice League ongoing? Never.

The longest I ever stayed with a JL book was for Darkseid War. Can't wait to grab the omnibus when it drops.

And it's not even CLOSE. Zero Year was like instant classic material. Best in class origin story for Batman, which is a super fucking crowded category.
Batman Eternal was fun, but a little twist-happy. I think there must've been more than 6 "and now, the REAL villain is revealed!" twists, and that's discounting the obvious headfakes.
Holy shit how did anyone think "yeah, that gif looks good, let's tweet that as our first look at the show!"
*Looks in mirror*
Yeah, fair enough.

I wasn't really crazy about either, honestly. Zero Year was colored like a bad acid trip.

Zero Year modernized and reconstructed the origin story in a way that works on just so many levels, and told a really great story to boot.
Death of the Family was Saw: Batman's In This One.

GENTLEMAN GHOST! Sold. Sold 1,000X over.
Just read Sheriff of Babylon #6-12. Got these issues from FCBD for a dollar each. It was great but then it just ends out. It felt like issue 12 was supposed to be the epilogue but instead to leads towards the second season. Still great series overall.
Also watched the last season Samurai Jack. The pacing was so bad it almost killed it for me. I wish it was twice as long.
