Jack of Fables Criminal Batmorrison, I guess (#666 was pretty corny, rite?)

Batman, Criminal, Daredevil, Incredible Hulk, Nova, X-Factor...
Annihilation Conquest Wraith will be in my stack, but I've gotta think long and hard about surreptitiously putting it back on the shelf, where that shit belongs.

BATMAN BPRD - Probably my most beloved "trade only" title. CASANOVA - "OH FUCK YEAH!" pretty much sums up my reaction. DAREDEVIL - Probably my least beloved "trade only" title. PUNISHER WAR JOURNAL

ALAN MOORE THE COMPLETE WILDCATS TP--it's been a while, I'm looking forward to rereading 'em BATMAN #667--this is the one with J.H. Williams III, right? CRIMINAL #8--Bru... DAREDEVIL #99--...baker! INCREDIBLE HULK #109--but where is Amadeus Cho? NEW AVENGERS #33--perhaps this one will get back to the plot ROBOT DREAMS--actually read this already, really good stuff by Sara Varon

I've ordered a few more trades.
100 Bullets vol.1 Nexus 1 & 2 (these are used older Dark Horse trades of Nexus 1 to 10.) Sin City vol. 1 & 2 (I read some of these, but wanted to check them out again.)
I also found good uses prices on the two Steranko Nick Fury trades. I had some of those in a reprint a long time ago and they are really cool.
I've been reading up on some of the stuff I have missed and these sound pretty cool.
Criminal by Ed Brubaker & Sean Phillips Preacher -- I had heard this comic was pretty cool, but never checked it out.
I'm kind of curious about some of Alan Moore's later work like Tom Strong, Promethea and some of the other superhero stuff he did for Image comics.
Punisher Max - This one sounds pretty twisted. Astro City by Kurt Busiek Conan comics on Dark Horse

Hey earlnash, if you like the first vol. of 100 Bullets, might I interest you in volume 2?

BATMAN #667 - There's a pretty great "Green Arrows of the World" parallel story to the one that this one is based, only it's by JACK KIRBY! (and by pretty great, I mean not that great at all) BATMAN CONFIDENTIAL #8 - Enjoyed part 1 mightily BLACK ADAM THE DARK AGE #1 (OF 6) - maybe, and only for the art SUPERMAN CHRONICLES VOL 3 TP - Not quite as good as the Showcase stuff, but really, really wild. PUNISHER WAR JOURNAL #10 - oh yeah.

PWJ - SO AWESOME. Batman - Bat-Morrison's Bat-Promise Bat-Fulfilled (from last week or something) Detective - Not so shitty, but still sorta shitty Welcome To Tranquilty - a little better than the last one, and apparantly some sort of z-over, but still Midnighter - really good. fucking great art. it's weird how little sense I have of Giffen-writer vs. his collab/art stuff. Metal Men - so G-Mo it hertz.
― Dr. Superman, Friday, 10 August 2007 04:55 (eighteen years ago)
So far I have only read a few things:
JACK OF FABLES #13 - Reads like filler up to the final revelation. Although you'd be surprised how much fun a guy bitching having a sword stuck through him can be.
STORMWATCH PHD #10 - Gotham Central in the Authorityverse. Not hugely feeling it.
POWERS #25 - OMG WHEN DID THIS BECOME SUCH UNREADABLE CRAP? SRSLY, it hasn't been this bad for a long time, has it? Couldn't follow this at all, so might be time to get off I think.
PUNISHER WAR JOURNAL #10 - This really is head and shoulders above everything else Marvel are producing. Convinced Frank was going to admit to killing the girl when the Hate Machine got blowed up.
METAL MEN #1 - What Huk sed. Barely adequate Wannabe G-Mo.
― aldo, Friday, 10 August 2007 09:45 (eighteen years ago)
Metal Men would've been far more alright if they'd just focused on the colorful talking robots and their fight against that giant technological unimind thing. I liked the scene with Magnus's presentation completely going over everybody's heads, but other than that Rouleau really should've oriented the damn thing around the title characters. Mercury's like Mecha Paul Lynde, or something, and shouldn't have to yield the spotlight to a guy that's already been explored well enough in Doom Patrol and 52.
― Garrett Martin, Friday, 10 August 2007 18:17 (eighteen years ago)
er, I mean that in a "based on ideas and concepts from GM" way, which Metal Men is, just like All-New Atom and something else (Uncle Sam?) and probably soon EVERYTHING IN THE DCU. What Garrett said (elsewhere) re the awful pacing of the whole thing, though (which is sorta Morrison-y, too)

BATMAN #667 - this was pretty damn fine apart from the obvious art fuckup (G-Mo has obviously said in the script that The Knight is carrying a football, which Williams has wrongly interpreted as an American football). BATMAN CONFIDENTIAL #8 - rilly, rilly good. I'm still not 100% convinced we actually need a new Joker origin, but if it's as good as this then why not. DEADMAN #12 - this is beginning to get pretty incoherent, but next month is the last one. I think DC's definition of SENSES SHATTERING might be different to mine though. FABLES #64 - absolutely the most FUN this has been in a long time. The hyper-cuet art might have had something to do with it, although the ghost-cub was an interesting (if not exactly surprising) revelation. GEN 13 #11 - this was just noise. Maybe teenagers can read this stuff. JLA CLASSIFIED #41 - less than satisfying conclusion to Kid Amazo. DAREDEVIL #99 - chewing gum for the eyes. (No thanks, Ted.) INCREDIBLE HULK #109 - HULK UNSMASH PLACE TO MAKE SMASH ULTIMATE X-MEN #85 - nearly good enough to make me care about this book again. Really quite enjoyable. WORLD WAR HULK FRONT LINE #3 - Hmm. An interesting enough diversion, I suppose. X-FACTOR #22 - "...as he knelt above me with a rock in his fist..."

Batman Confidential felt a bit padded to me, but was still quite excellent. A lot of the Batman/Bruce Wayne "character-development" is identical to Batman & the Monster Men (hell, it's pretty much the same story, only with higher marquee value) and if there's one story that needs less retelling than Joker's origins, it's Batman & the Death of the Love Interest. Howev, I rilly liked the Alfred super-computer bit.
