It’s Wednesday! You know what that means!
I haven’t gotten the chance to read all of these, but I can say that Batman and TMNT are awesome. Nightwing is pretty good. It sets up a new arc pretty well. Red Hood is actually surprisingly good. I didn’t expect much from it, but I enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I left my comics at work tonight, so I won’t get to read any until tomorrow.
Tonight, I give you 1 image from each of my 10 favorite Batman stories. Here they are, in no specific order.
New comics from Wednesday that I forgot to post about last week. All of them are very solid, with Justice League stepping up its game from last issue. Wonder Woman is also very, very awesome. Brian Azzarello has yet to write something I didn’t like. Scott Snyder is probably the best Batman writer in the past 10 years. Seriously. That guy is going to be heralded as one of the greats someday.
Due to some money issues, I wasn’t able to get quite everything that I wanted at the comic shop today. Homework has rendered me unable to read all of them yet, but TMNT is probably the stand out so far. Spaceman is interesting, but I really need a second issue to come out; the pacing in the debut was a little too quick for my liking. But Brian Azzarello hasn’t steered me wrong yet!
I found a copy of the first volume of 100 Bullets by Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso. I’ve been a fan of Azzarello since I first got the Joker OGN in 2008. Since then, I’ve pretty much bought anything with his name on it. 100 Bullets, however, always seemed to elude my thoughts when I’d set out to find the next comic series to read. Today, though, I grabbed a super cheap used copy of First Shot, Last Call.
If anyone reading this loves crime, gangsters, noir, or just plain good stories, pick up this book. I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to finally start it, but I’m gonna read this one through to the end.
This time around, Joel #1 discusses Mark Waid’s DAREDEVIL, Joel #2 talks about a Kevin Smith podcast everyone should hear, Matt (Spudz) gives some insight into the Batman stories that influenced Christopher Nolan’s DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY, I go a bit more into detail about Image Comics’ SAGA, and James talks all about BEFORE WATCHMEN: THE COMEDIAN. All that, plus a few extras. Lemme know if you listened!
