Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?

He just came back. :D

Batman: Battle for the Cowl.

Batman: Streets of Gotham.

JLA: Pain of the Gods.

Secret Avengers #6.

Just finished The Essential Enemy Ace. Love this character.

Strange Tales MAX #1 - #3.

PunisherMAX #1-#5.

Just got through TASKMASTER, the most recent series.
Pretty interesting, it's good seeing an ACTUAL storyline written for this character...it would be good if they used him more in the marvel universe.
Bit of a messed up ending...
Kind've miss his late 90's look.

I actually thought that the latest volume of The Walking Dead totally kicked ass - I know I've been down on it for a while, but I think that they definitely went in a very smart and interesting direction. Really looking forward to the next one.

Whats the current setting of that volume?
Have you reached the part about the hunters yet, or?

They just found the gated community, which I thought was a good place to take it.

I think that the hunters you're referring to were in the previous volume. Honestly, would have enjoyed that storyline more if it wasn't resolved in a single volume, you know?









SPOILERS

You're talking about the hunters that are capturing and eating humans, right?

/SPOILERS

I had finished up with Dark Night Returns.

Yeah chrono, that's what I was talking about.

So have you all heard about "The walking dead weekly"? It's essentially re-releasing the whole series from issue #1 at a lower price, released weekly...I thought this was a great idea for those who have seen the show and want more, or even those that have never seen/heard of either series to get their heads into it.
Well, there's that or the collections, either's good.

I've just finished reading
*Black Panther - Man without Fear #514
Taking over from the recently possessed daredevil in Hells Kitchen, de-powered and without the technology at his disposal that he's used to relying upon, it's showing a different side of this character I was never all that familiar with. The writing is pretty good on this one and yeah, thought it would be gimmicky but it's quite well done.
The storyline started at issue #513

*Heroes for Hire (current series) #2.
Nothing, at all, to do with any of the older series.
This comic...has a very weird premise...don't want to spoil too much but it's worth picking up #1 and having a look. Some good characters of past titles in there too, and an ongoing mystery that's unfolding.
One of my favourite bit-part sometimes-hero sometimes-villain characters, "Paladin" features pretty heavily in this title, and I like the direction they're taking with him. Pretty decent read.

Macabre Magazine Issue 4 online
 

Hey, check out the newest issue of Macabre magazine. It's inspired by the great old Creepy and Eerie comics. The first three issues are free.

Spawn and The Crow

I am reading archie and friends...

I haven't - We just pick up the collected volumes when they're out. That's actually pretty cool, though.

Best American Comics 2010

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...onogrl/bac.jpg

I love this series - I read it every year. It's a great way to sample what's out in comics over the course of the year and become introduced with authors and artists you might otherwise not have heard of. Through the selected excerpts, I was introduced to the below fantastic graphic novels that I just consumed:




Omega: The Unknown (2008)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ogrl/omega.jpg

This graphic novel "re-envisions" the original Omega the Unknown (1975) and places the story in a modern New York City. An understated pulp homage, I honestly think that genre fans will absolutely adore this comic and I HIGHLY recommend it (though the ending absolutely and positively sucked).


...


Asterios Polyp (2009)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...l/asterios.jpg

An unconventional character-piece, this beautifully illustrated graphic novel tells the tale of Asterios Polyp - His life, how it fell apart, and how he tries to make sense of it all. I really fell in love with the characters, especially his ex-wife Hana. Fantastic read. Highly recommended.

Read it, damn it! It's awesome.


(Btw, how are Joe Hill's novels?)

Batman: Hush
 

I really, really, REALLY loved Heart-Shaped Box and highly recommend it. I'm reading 20th Century Ghosts now, which is a collection of his short stories; some are fantastic but some are incredibly weak.

Didn't know he wrote a graphic novel - May have to get my hands on it. Thanks for the rec.

Locke and Key is fun stuff. I like where it's going.

Just finished The Walking Dead book 6. I like where this is going. Good read. I reckon Hell will rain down on them in their little sanctuary pretty quickly in book 7.

At the moment I'm reading Ghost In The Shell (from Dark Horse). Nothing to do with horror, though.

Next one will be Locke & Key two.

Nemi, a Norwegian humor comic about a Goth girl living in Norway and her friends. It is hilarious and full of good social commentary.

Aarrgh... I hate Nemi. I feel she's just recycling every joke and now she's outdated. But then again, I'm not a girl/woman, which is her target audience.

Sorry. Carry on.

FF (Future Foundation) #1.
This is the comic that follows the events after the recently finished "Fantastic Four" comic, after the (apparent) death of Johnny Storm.
It's a...rather interesting concept actually.
Nice bit of a twist at the end.
Not too sure how I feel about it at the moment, but it seems decent, I think I'll keep reading this one for now.

I have lost touch with comics in the last few years but you have me interested. Would you mind PM'ing me with details of Johnny Storms death? I would appreciate it!

Done and done.

Latest issue of the Walking Dead.
Not one to be missed...Kirkman has again showed us that he's willing to "break the rules" to keep things interesting, but I hope they fix this, I really do...
Still, I never look forward to a comic as much as I do this one.

Read some current Batman titles last night:
Batman 708
Batman The Dark Knight 2
Batman Inc. 4
Superman/Batman 82

Whether Bruce Wayne or Dick Grayson Batman is still one of the most enjoyable and reliable characters in comicdom. While everything above is stunning David Finch appears to be verging on the brilliant.

Nemi a Norwegian humor series about a goth girl in Oslo, it is filled with nice social cometary and hilarious though tasteful jabs at about anything in society.

X-Force Vol 4: Necrosha.

I'm re-reading all of The Tick comics....when I can manage to find some time. I've always really liked The Tick.

Hey, i'm new.
I just read the second issue of Hellraiser, I've been reading a bunch of non horror comics, and some horror mini comics, like this werewolf anthology series, http://werewolfanthology.wordpress.com/
I very much recomend that, in all honesty I have a story in the new one (that's where my user icon is coming from) so sorry for the self-promotion, but I'd love this series even if I wasn't in it.

So I read a lot of comics...though I only actually buy a few, usually after I've "previewed" them.
So I figure as long as I'm doing that I should give props to the best reads I've had that week, and see if I can't get a few people to think about picking them up.
So here's a few:

Action Comics #901
Now this wasn't REALLY among my favourites, but it's pretty action packed and fans of the old "Doomsday/Death and Rebirth of Superman" storyline will probably get a kick out of it, for the first time in quite a while Superman and his "replacements" are together in the one place for an ongoing story arc.
I don't usually follow superman stuff all that much, but this one has me interested to watch for more.

Gotham City Sirens #23
So this series follows Catwoman, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, living together.
This might turn a lot of people off, and for the better part the series hasn't been that "great"...though the last two issues have really picked up.
If you want to see some good Joker/Black Mask stuff, a prison riot at Arkham, people getting their limbs severed, then have a look at this one.
Though you might want to check out issue #21 as well (skip 22, it's unrelated) to see how the story begins.

Wolverine (current series) #9.
If you haven't read this series from issue #1 the events of the storyline may be a little confusing.
I'm recommending this mainly because there's great fight scenes, and the introduction of something of a super-assassin type character that's pretty cool.
Wolverine, Mistique, and super-assassin guy have a 3-way battle...it was just very cool...

Uncanny X-Men #537
Here's another one that might be a little bit confusing for the first time/long absent reader - Though, there is a nice "recap" at the beginning that pretty much gets you up to speed on what's been happening.
The "known" characters this one focusses around are Colossus and ShadowCat/Kitty Pride.
Like the issue of Wolverine I mentioned above, it's essentially a "fight" comic. Pretty dastardly and resourceful villain too, and one of those "what the fuck?" endings. Best issue of this title I've read in some time.

Captain America - Hail Hydra (All 5 issues)
I don't know if all of the issues are still available, if they are, grab 'em. If not, surely there'll be a collected edition soon enough.
Just a really solid storyline that spans the entire Captain America timeline, and quite cohesively too.
I don't usually get into limited series, but this one hooked me and kept me reading to the end.
I don't want to spoil what's involved, but yeah, seriously a very solid read.

One more I thought I would throw out there to read as a collected edition, is "Irredeemable".
It's a little late coming but I feel like I owe it some credit - Great stuff about a massively powerful superhero who turns on the world, and his team.
It has now run for 24 issues, and has also spawned a "sister title" that has ran alongside it for 18 issues - though impressively, they have yet to bleed into each other.
This comic introduced a reality of it's own so you don't need familiarity with any other comics to pick this one up whatsoever.
It's violent and bloody, but not one of those comics that throws gore all over the place "just because".
Now saying this might cause a touch of a stir, and is probably just a tiny bit of a stretch, but I don't think another comic has come as close to the vibe of "Watchmen" as this one has, in terms of storyline, character histories and overall tone.
It has kept me looking forward to another issue since day #1...and I think that it is one of the best comics available today. This one I've actually purchased. I would purchase as a gift too - even for people not "into" comics.
I cannot endorse it enough.

That's it for me this week.

I've been wondering about the Gotham Sirens title. I really liked Ed Brubaker's catwoman, especially when Darwyn Cooke was drawing it! There's three collections of those I think.
I also just read the first trade of IZombie and really like that.
