Great week this week on DCUI… even if Hardware Season One is delayed a bit…

[JusKris-El]

I really enjoyed Superman #29.

[Don-El]

Me too, yesterday actually.

I think I’m going to like this run, although the art was not as good as I would have liked. But the story was good.

[Row.Harper]

I read Batman: The World yesterday and I just read Titans United #1. I’ll reluctantly read Joker #1 at some point, but purely for the Bluebird story backup.

I’ve been keeping up with Urban Legends so I don’t need to read that again.

[Don-El]

Urban legends I definitely want to check out this week

[Row.Harper]

I’ve realized lately that I enjoy the anthology feel of comic books. Batman The World was really good too. So many stories in a short form. It’s just nice. And it gives more writers and artists a chance to do their thing.

[KnightOS]

I read everything yesterday, but I’m a bit voracious about reading. The slower part was entering them all into my database. Since it’s a new version of the universe, I have to set-up all the characters again, which really slows me down. I think I enjoyed Batman: The World, the most. Not every story was a gem, but they were certainly fun. Joker was probably my least favorite. Wasn’t bad, but didn’t do a lot for me.

[Don-El]

Nice, I’d like to see your comic book database sometime if that’s okay!

[KnightOS]

It’s not online, which makes it hard. It’s an FM database and I’ll admit that I haven’t wanted to spend the time and money to figure out how best to put it on the web. One of these days, though…

[Don-El]

ah, gotcha, so no way to export to Excel.

[KnightOS]

While I could export to Excel, it would take a lot of finessing to make it readable. Probably something I should think about, though.

[Don-El]

Wait, did Jason Todd just shoot someone with real bullets in Batman: Urban Legends #1:?
