That’s awesome!!! I was just messing with ya’. But, yes u can definitely find Uncle Sam in all Freedom Fighters comics. There amazing reads too. Really digging that Legends. I don’t know how I missed those except for the fact that there’s like 7 comics by that title & maybe I haven’t read it cuz I thought I already did? Than there’s one called Legends of the Dark Night, I was like c’mon…having enough trouble keeping these straight haha.

Me too with all of those similar titles! Haha. It’s nuts! I had completely forgotten that I started this series a while ago and picked it back up again. Totally awesome. I think you’d really dig it too. I’m going to link the reference above so you can find the series easier.

Awesome ty!!! I probably did the same. Started it than thought I went back to it but it was probably same title, different series…

Exactly! From what I’ve seen of the title… There’s this one “Batman: Legends of The Dark Knight (1989 - 2018)” - which has “Batman” at the beginning - and the new “Legends of The Dark Knight” which doesn’t prefix with his name.

I really like Batman: Legends of The Dark Knight because it has that vintage 80s/90s comics feel, both in art and story. Also - the first story in the series was Batman: Shaman, which is an absolute legend. The newer books are hit and miss for me so far.

Resurrection Man #10: Movie theme continues: Heaven Can Wait & I know Sixth Sense is a very old term. Just going by the fact their referencing movies nonstop & it’s the page after the Heaven Can Wait cover. Plus it’s capitalized in bold text?
