Sits down on a park bench while holding a briefcase and wearing a fedora, a trench coat and sunglasses, then looks around and in sotto voce, says “The spotted cuckoo bird says hello.”

You slide a DM briefcase under my bench, and I’ll slide one back to you. Capisce, Agent Bravo? :slight_smile:

Hums the Johnny Rivers tune Secret Agent Man while sitting on the park bench.

Finished with my make a challenge!!! I read Batman Confidential 1-12, The Ravagers 1-4 and 0, Plastic Man 1988 #1 and Plastic Man 2003 1-6. I will probably finish the Plastic Man 2003 series as it is my style. I will say this is the most Batman I have read in like ever. I didn’t hate it. I am shocked.

What was your “Make a Challenge” again?

4 Likes

Read 3 characters I don’t typically like. Then did 10 Batman, 5 Beast Boy, and 5 Plastic Man comic issues. I read a bit more on Plastic Man and Batman because of arcs that were featured that I wanted to finish. It was interesting to see some of these characters in a different light. While I will finish Plastic Man, I still found he rubbed me the wrong way and honestly this version of Beast Boy was meh. Batman though I enjoyed, which truly is a shocker because I typically despise all stories I read of him, but I enjoyed these 2 arcs in Batman Confidential.

It is “okay” but not anything spectacular to me. The 2003 one was interesting as it had a bit more of the kiddo vibe to it, but it is honestly the character just bothers me for some reason. I don’t understand completely why.

I just finished the 7 issues of Justice League: Last Stand for challenge 5 that had to have Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman appearances. I said they could overlap so Justice League became an obvious choice. I rather liked this series. It had some twists and turns and did what it was supposed to do, be enertainment.

Is this codenames or real names?

Just realized I never filled these 2 out

Either? :man_shrugging:t3: it just needs to be like Bruce Wayne not Bruce Wayne Returns or Batman not The Batman. No additional words besides DC character name.

And here it is… my final Challenge.

For this challenge, I read the following collected editions:

  1. Lex Luthor: A Celebration of 75 Years
  2. Sweet Tooth: The Return
  3. Daphne Byrne
  4. Aquaman: The Search for Mera

All of these collections were greatly appreciated in their curated, ease-of-reading format, and it’s one I’ll definitely continue to take advantage of as an Ultra subscriber. I’d like to thank @CassTheStreet for organizing this challenge, which took me just over 4 months to complete. Thanks for encouraging more reading through our community!
