Nice find man, that's good news to hear. Although, you know I was thinking. I absolutely love that from the nightly news through to his new manhattan projects etc, he has always keeps the spines of the trades the exact same style, so they all match up perfectly on the bookshelf. The fact this is coming out hardcover and none of the rest did, will probably drive me a bit nuts haha.
Read my Forever Evil related books on the bus coming into work this morning and JLA was the best of the bunch I think. I liked Rogue's Rebellion and Pandora well enough, but Matt Kindt just writes such a perfect MMH. This issue begins his short run on the book focusing on Stargirl and MMH, and reveals what happened to various members of the Leagues.

Whenever i see Batwoman in a dc promotional piece or Batverse cover, i see her as a corporate bat-thing clone that exists to have another batbook.
And i still buy Snyder's Batman
Except it's probably the single bat book that mostly exists outside the standard bruce wayne batman reach.

Yea, I wrote something earlier in this thread about how Batwoman, more than any of the other bat books, deserves to be told outside of the core Batman book. Personally, I would see a ot of books in the batline folded into the core batman book, but from the stories being told, the themes being explored, the way the story is told with the art, and so on, Batwoman earns its own book. To each their own though, everyone can think what they think (and should), but I really agree that Batwoman is the furthest book away on the batline from being a cash in.
To me, it's like watching sausage being made. When Didio says Batwoman can't have a marriage because Batman doesn't, it's creepy from a creativity standpoint. Equally creepy is pretending away Aquaman and Mera's marriage.

I just wanted to say that I met Matt Kindt at Comic-Con and the dude is legitimately super nice and super cool. I talked to him about Frankenstein and about how he WAS co-writing it all along despite DC not putting his name on the issues, and then he burned a page of a book of his I bought.
So, basically, Matt Kindt is the fucking man.
That's awesome, I've interacted with him on Twitter a few times and he seemed super cool. Good to hear that's the reality as well.

Oh right, I didn't realise you were referring to that whole thing, it seemed like you were just saying the book was redundant, in the vein of say, Finch's the dark knight.

I still don't know why this book exists. What does it do that the other million bat books can't? I mean, besides have "Dark Knight" in the title.
When it launched preN52 I'm pretty sure it was the only book that featured Bruce as Batman.
Nah, it launched around the same time as Batman Inc. The real reason (initially) was to give David Finch an excuse to do whatever the fuck he wanted.
Besides Batman Incorporated, which I think launched around the same time.
But then, why does it still exist? What does it do? What is its place?

In theory, I think it's supposed to be the supernatural Batbook
To justify that David Finch exclusive contract (even though I don't think he's been involved with it for the past year)?
Beats me, I've never read it.

Isn't that the one that started with an "everyone juices on Venom and here's a Playboy bunny because" story?

Did he mention how much of it he was doing? Like was it Lemire plotting and then Kindt took the rest of it?
That's a damn shame. I attributed a lot of that earlier success to Lemire. To think somebody was going uncredited for that work...

-I'm digging Zero, the flashback issue really gave some context to #1's story and furthered my interest in the characters and the world of The Agency. Some very slick action storytelling by Kot/Moore near the end as well.
-Hawkeye needs to get the fuck over the Grills murder thing
-Battle of the Atom is hot garbage in which the characters people care about are locked in a closet during the 50th anniversary event while Bachalo draws some incoherent action scenes between characters nobody gives a fuck about, and have vague motivations
-WTF Superior Spider-man

I hold out hope that post Forever Evil he's gonna be promoted to the main League and get superstar treatment from Johns.

The whole world of Spider-Man is getting pretty crazy. Your right, could 2099 get his own book now? The rumors of Miles coming over. That's 3 Spider-Man in one city. Now it's only a matter of time until Spock gets outed. Goblin stuff on deck. It's getting fun.
Edit and here it is? Don't click until you read 19.

...is that a brain bug in the back?
getting back into things. Just picked up the comixology Walking Dead complete bundle and making my way through that.
what are the best super hero books right now? I will accept both "coolest most original shit being done today" as well as "if you liked 70s and 80s comics especially x-men"

Time is passing very slowly because some of the issues are happening at the same time.

Hmm, I didn't get that Peter is back in his head. Reference? Also, the scene you mentioned and the telephone call with Mary Jane really hurt ocks ego.

One of the Ohmus from Nausicaa. His wife is a big fan of Miyazaki, and the aisles seem evenly divided between her interests(Game of Thrones, Sound of Music, Tintin, Hunger Games, Twilight, etc) and Paolo's more superhero flavored interests(Bruce Timm Batman and Robin, Indiana Jones and Short Round, Terminator and the Connors, The Thundercats, etc)
It was the bottom part of that two page spread. You can just make him out in those four bottom panels. He's forcing his way back in.

Nah, he didn't mention what the work breakdown was but if you were to ask me, I'd say that Kindt helped a lot with the plotting/story while Lemire did the actual writing, because you can see a distinct shift in writing, specifically Frank speaking a lot more, once Kindt "officially" took over the book.
He wasn't credited within the actual comic, which is a huge fucking shame, but I recall once the writer-shift was announced, Jeff Lemire said he'd had Kindt as his "secret" co-contributor the entire time, so it was in good hands.
Fuck Vibe, Frankenstein was the original New52 heartbreaker after news spread of its cancellation.

ha, The art was so good in the top panels that when my brain got to those green panels at the bottom I didn't give them much thought. Thanks.
They have a complete bundle? Or did you get all the collected editions?
Over the weekend they ran issues 1-114 for $99. It didn't show up in the ipad app though. In the app only the single issues (99¢) and collections ($5.99) were available. The $99 bundle was on the web only (but obviously still are then available on ipad)
