Batbooks: 30 issues from 1970-1972
Writers: Frank Robbins (12 main stories in Detective Comics, 21 Batgirl backups in Detective Comics, 1 main story in Batman), Mike Friedrich (1 Robin backup in Detective Comics, 1 backup in Batman, 5 Robin backups in Batman), Denny Oā€™Neil (7 main stories in Batman, 9 main stories in Detective Comics), Len Wein & Marv Wolfman (1 main story in Detective Comics)
Iā€™ve already read a couple of these, but the ones I read were by Denny Oā€™Neil, so I donā€™t mind the repetition. Besides, Iā€™ve been assigning them for the World of Bats book club, so I figure I should actually get caught up.

Going by writer here:

  • Oā€™Neilā€™s contributions are the most famous part of this era, and with good reason. He had a dud or two, but most of his stuff is really good. Batman #237, ā€œNight of the Reaper,ā€ is probably the highlight of what I read this time around.

  • Counting all the backups he wrote, Frank Robbins was probably responsible for the lionā€™s share of the total content I read. Heā€™s very hit and miss. Some stories like the first couple Man-Bat appearances are very good, but his mysteries are a lot more plot hole-ridden, his prose isnā€™t as evocative as Oā€™Neilā€™s, and (especially in the Batgirl stories) he does a lot of very clumsy attempts at lookingā€¦ Cool? Relevant? Whatever it is, heā€™s not pulling it off. Batgirlā€™s full-time job also seems to be resolving Barbara Gordonā€™s personal problems, so itā€™s a miracle only her dad learned her identity.

  • I donā€™t have quite as strong of a sense of Friedrichā€™s style since he didnā€™t do a many backups but he seems to be using similar tropes to Robbins, but, uh, sort of better than Robbins.

In general, there are a surprising amount of supernatural plots. Some of them end in Scooby-Doo reveals, but others just straight-up have ghosts and stuff.

Flash 181 - 184 - The Flash Silver Age Omnibus vol. 3

Batman & Robin Adventures 14 - 25 - DC Library

Digital First seriesā€™ - DC Library
Batman: Gotham Nights 1 - 2
Aquaman: Deep Dives 1 - 2
Superman: Man of Tomorrow 1 - 2
Flash: Fastest Man Alive 1 - 2
Wonder Woman: Agent of Peace 1 - 2
Harley Quinn: Black + White + Red 1

Month 54 - Year 815

Continuing with Silver Age Flash: 181 concludes Flashā€™s two-part Samurai tale. 182 proves Wally wasnā€™t the first speedster to suffer from speed-phobia. In 183 Flash hires a dead ringer to impersonate Barry Allen, who impersonates Flash to find the person trying to assassinate Barry Allen. (Read the story, it might be less confusing.) In 185 Flash destroys Central City, but goes back to the future to save it?

Finished the Batman & Robin Adventures with 14 - 25. The Dynamic Duo face off with the likes of Scarecrow, Catwoman, Riddler, Joker, Two-Face, Killer Croc, thugs, gangsters, and . . . space aliens? . . . all in the realm of the BTAS universe. Deadman, Huntress, Batgirl, Jim Gordon, Harvey Bullock, and Renee Montoya make notable appearances throughout. (Unfortunately, The series ended with issue 25 and sadly the library is missing annuals 1, 2, and the Sub-Zero Special.)

Starting the Digital First seriesā€™ Batman: Gotham Nights 1 was a little disturbing but accurate. #2 had an awesome Bat-Tank-Mobile and good story & art. Aquaman: Deep Dives, issue 1 was very Aquaman and very Black Manta; but Mermazons? Need to follow-up on that! Issue 2 Aquaman fights Eco-terrorists but gains surface liaisons. Superman: Man of Tomorrow 1, Superman fights Parasite to save Metropolis and #2 Superman breaks up a local bookie ring but with a surprise plot twist. In Flash: Fastest Man Alive 1 Flash faces King Shark on the eastern seaboard and fights King Shark because heā€™s a shark. Next Flash meets an emissary of the Speed Force who tries to kill him to prevent Eobard Thawne from being inspired to become the Reverse-Flash. In Wonder Woman: Agent of Peace first Diana teams up with Harley Quinn. Then sheā€™s off to rescue Lois Lane while Superman is off planet, because someone has to rescue the oft imperiled Lois.

I know, so many! I was just reading the X-Men title for awhile but there was so much going on in the other titles that was referenced in x-men that I decided to start reading those on Marvel Unlimited. I found a reading order somewhere online and have been using that as a list to make my way through the series.

86 read since my last post about 3 weeks ago which puts me right at my average of 28 a week. That number just doesnā€™t seem to change much. Anyway, that 1,059 for the year so I get to joint the 1,000 Club. Lots of good stuff out there. Thanks to the DCU Book Club, found Madame Xanadu (2008) a great Vertigo title that Iā€™m now diving into. Finally started DCeased here on DCU. Zombies and heroes turned evil have been done to death, but this series is great so far. And my march through every Swamp Thing issues continues. Unfortunately, after a strong start taking over for Moore, Veitch took a terribly wrong turn. Then Doug Wheeler said ā€œhold my beerā€ and made it worse. The next writer gets high marks, so anxious to finish the last few Wheeler issues.

Late to the challenge, but hereā€™s what I have so far this year:

I signed up for DC Universe after seeing the Wonder Woman movie. I wanted to read every Wonder Woman comic, as well as some of the ones she starred in. I have been limited in the older stuff since DC hasnā€™t uploaded quite a few. The tally so far:

All Star Comics (1940) #8
Sensation Comics (1942) 42 issues
Wonder Woman (1942) 184 issues
Comic Cavalcade (1942) #14
Big All American Comic Book (1944) #1
Crisis on Infinite Earths (1985) 12 issues
Legend of Wonder Woman (1986) 4 issues

519 issues so far.

Currently reading 52, Justice League and Wonder Woman 2006 series.

I also have Marvel Unlimited and I used to read 5-6 per night, but Wonder Woman has slowed that up a bit. I was reading around 2,000 a year but I donā€™t keep track of issues. I have read almost everything from 1961 to 1977 and 1999 to 2018. Yes, I know I have a problem, but itā€™s a good problem to have.

Graphic novels: I also read all of the Boys, Jennifer Blood, Red Team, and Just a Pilgrim this year (got all of the .pdf via Humble Bundle for I think around $20, which was insane!). All of the Conan and Savage Sword of Conan and Solomon Kane Omnibuses that came out. Scott Pilgrim, Umbrella Academy 1-3, Dark Knight Golden Child, Frank Miller Superman, Classic GI Joe volumes 1-8, Alan Mooreā€™s Providence and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen the Tempest, Firefly Legacy 1-2, Firefly Unification War 1-3, Doomsday Clock 1-2.

I also read and collect Knights of the Dinner Table, everything Conan and Red Sonja, and a bunch of stuff I get from Kickstarter (some really good stuff to be found there, and some not so good stuff as well).

Wow, writing this down is kind of shocking, Should I add the actual books Iā€™ve read?

I have two hobbies in life: Reading and Running, and Iā€™m too old to run like I used to.

@msgtv Congratulations on making your goal and getting into The 1,000 Club! :+1:

I had the same problem with Swamp Thing myself. (Stopped at 76 on the 1982 run.) Looks like you got past your binge block, thatā€™s encouraging me to continue as well. :grinning:

And btw, whoā€™s Adventureman?

@slatour0694.79644 Welcome to the party!

That Wonder Woman movie must have been mighty inspirational! Going to check if our local theaters are re-opened again from covid; been dying to see it.

@Space-Marine_Marty_Travis Thanks! Yeah, I really loved the movie. I grew up watching Superfriends and Wonder Woman so it just ignited an old spark. Hope you get to see it soon!

Adventureman is from Image written by Fraction with art by the Dodsons. I really hadnā€™t been checking out the other companies for a long while, but started looking lately and Dodsonsā€™ art with Fraction writing seemed like it would be worth a go.
On Swamp Thing, 70s is about where it starts to dive, but the next writer is supposed to be really worth it.

Iā€™ll check on him.

And I think I will get back to Swamp Thing. Been wanting to read about Johnā€™s errr Swamp Thingā€™s baby.

Had to go back to work after my case of Covid so my reading is going to slow. But since I went over my self imposed rule of 1000, I think Iā€™m good with that. So what did I read?

Chronos 1-11 (11)
Batman and robin Adventures 1-14 (14)
Avengers 353-402 (49)

That is 74 more comics read added to my previous total of 1044. This brings my new total to 1118.
