What are you excited about? What do you like about the above books? Also because of Batman’s Anniversary What is your all time favorite Batman Story?
Can’t wait to read Zatanna but have to confess that I find New Frontier grossly overrated. I could write an entire post I why but will save that for another time. Love Tuesdays now.
I thought I saw one Legion of Superheroes with the Legion of substitute superheroes that was new, and I saw the Zatanna at the very end, but appreciate your attention to detail!
I can understand misgivings with New Frontier, but purely from an art perspective I think it’s the most gorgeous book DC has ever put out. We lost an all time great in Darwyn Cooke. I’m really grateful to have it on the service.
My all-time favorite Batman story…? Well, not many Batman stories are ABOUT Batman. They’re about some colorful villain, or heir to his legacy. But when it comes to stories about the Dark Knight himself… for me, nothing beats Mask of the Phantasm.
Just read through Zatanna. It’s fun, though a little frustrating that the writers seemed to just make up rules for how magic works as they went along (including rules that blatantly changed from one issue to the next). A shame it got axed by Flashpoint, regardless. I was curious where the Brother Night plot thread was going.
Favorite Batman story: Definitely Almost Got 'Im from the animated series. For comics, though, I have a soft spot for Knightfall/Knightquest/Knightsend despite its flaws, so I’d say either that or Detective Comics #826.
