This month's Jimmy Olsen was wonderful. I was going to post some panels but there was a lot of lead up to most of the gags so you'll just have to trust me. Dex-Starr is a good kitty.

Cassa posted:I was reading some godawful event comic tie in where exactly this happened, except it was Deadshot and some other people with names, and the prison was introduced and broken out of within three pages. Something like this also happened in Dark Knights: Metal, with the Joker in a secret cell under the bat cave.

I've been reading through Ed Brubaker's work and just finished Gotham Central. It's great and it seems like an easy project to adapt for TV...which upon checking is apparently something we'll see in the near future. The series ends with "to be continued in 52." Is 52 the good weekly series from that era? I forget if it was Countdown or 52 that people hated.

In other Tom King news, the first issue of Superman: Son of Kal-El is out today and it's off to a good start. I enjoyed the interactions with Damien, and I assume the ending is leading to something with better results than Injustice.

site posted:gotta be honest, going in i thought a Tom Taylor Superman would be a no brainer, but it's not really doing much for me Yeah I didn't love it either. The bit at the school was pretty bad and the rest of the setup doesn't seem all that interesting. Hopefully it improves with time, as I like most of Taylor's other stuff.

catlord posted:How's Batman: Reptilian so far? It sounds like it's right up my alley and the art I've seen looks great, but at the same time how Ennis-y is it? Because when I'm reading Batman it's because, you know, I like itt I've been surprised at how much I enjoy it. It's dark and over the top but not excessively puerile like a lot of his other stuff, and there are some funny bits too. Speaking of DC books I've been enjoying, The Nice House on the Lake has been interesting so far. Lots of mystery and intrigue with a great setup.

Interesting bits from Jeff Lemire's Substack newsletter:Lemire posted:Robin and Batman will not be my last DC or work-for-hire project released. The same time I wrote this series I also wrote another 3-issue oversized Black Label book for one of my all-time favourite artists, Doug Mahnke! That one will be announced this coming month and when it is I’ll get more into it here.

This week's Nightwing is just delightful and I'd strongly recommend it to anyone, even people who aren't following. Doesn't require a lot of context aside from that Dick recently decided to use money he inherited to help people in Bludhaven and this has angered some of the locals.

Another great Tom Taylor joint this week on Superman, featuring Nightwing. I'm glad he's getting to run with semi-prominent books rather than being restricted to mostly elseworlds-type stuff (though he's generally great there too).

Another great Nightwing this month! I don't know much about the Flash or his relationship with Dick but it seemed really well depicted and it was fun to see Flash doing the sorts of things any actual human would do with his powers (i.e., compulsively checking in on everyone he cares about).

vseslav.botkin posted:Anybody read One Bad Day? I just finished it and the art is spectacular, but the story is very very Tom King. I just read it and I generally agree with your take. I did find it funny how young Edward's father seemed to be modeled on Kurtwood Smith, Edward looked like Micheal Stipe, and Bruce looked like John Hamm. Decent fan casting!

TwoPair posted:I was kinda disappointed at first (like, I knew the minute Superman showed up he was gonna get chumped and I'm always a little disappointed when Superman/the JL guest star in a book just to get wrecked to make the point of "whoa, check out how dangerous this new enemy is!") but as it went on I like the idea more for taking the "Batman preptime" meme to a almost ridiculous extreme and making that the villain. Yeah, I like how Batman's over-preparedness is biting him on the rear end. I feel like Tynion just did a police state with robotic surveillance in Fear State, but I only really read the Nightwing tie-ins so maybe this will be different. In other DC matters, I enjoyed Sgt. Rock last week. Given the setting and subject matter it reminded me of Hellboy a bit, and the art was good.

Nightwing is (rightfully) getting a lot of positive attention this week, but I also really enjoyed the Mr. Freeze one-shot. Great art by Matteo Scalera and a good take on the character by Gerry Duggan. The Death of Superman 30th anniversary issue, on the other hand, was not so good.

Woof, I was hoping GCPD could be a spiritual successor to Gotham Central but then they had to go and make the recruit of Puerto Rican background shoot Renee Montoya's brother and his girlfriend as revenge for a racist prank that other cops pulled on him, with a promise for further "war" on Renee. The series was already pretty dark, but I think I'm out.

Wayne Manor is overrun with too many Alfreds!! How will Bruce and Damian be able to choose the old Alfred in a new body???? Find out in the prelude event, The War of Manners and Decorum!!!

I kind of liked Gotham City: Year One (Phil Hester's art was a big part of why) but the final issue shoehorned in a bunch of ridiculous connections to the Bat-mythos. - Ace Chemicals used to be Wayne Chemicals. - Richard Wayne used what is now the batcave to house his collection of adultery memorabilia and presumably to jerk off in privacy. - Richard Wayne used "the bat-man' as his alias on the ransom note when kidnapping his own child. - Constance Wayne asked Slam Bradley to mentor young Thomas Wayne so he'd know that it was unsafe to wander down alleys in Gotham. Slam refused. Oh no! I'm not as down on Tom King as some people, but this was pretty hacky.
