Thanks for the rundown on the Bats books Pandemic, very helpful! I'm already on R.I.P. and got some of those trades ordered. Morrison is trippy as always.
I met Allred last year at WW Chicago Con, hope to get a sketch or original art page one day.
peace
Pandemic can we get a little clarity on the order of the Batman series? Is that the order of the trades that you think should be read and then the issues in your opinion continue the story after?
I would like to read the story inorder as much as possible so how would you mix the issues that you mention into what the trades miss?
Correct me if I am wrong but in the list of the trades that you list to read the asterisks mean that the story is not in an actual trade, correct?
Those issues are in the trades with the asterisks next to them...I just feel like the order of the comics in the trades muddles the story, and that it flows better with the issue order that i gave you.
Thanks guys for your x-men related suggestions. I read all the Second Coming stuff before dropping all those titles. But now I realize how much I enjoy all the mutant stuff so I'm back collecting. Does anyone know the name of the storylines after Second Coming and which ones are worth checking out? What about X23?Any good? I'm not buying the individual issues anymore I'm only doing trades so just what's been released in that format please! Thanks alot guys!!! You guys should start a blog, you have great insight!
got a chance to read that tomb of dracula special. shit was good. a new samurai vampire has been thrown into the marvel universe.
and even though i think dc is about as interesting as watching paint dry at this point (not including vertigo), im looking forward to the return of the justice league international.
and a quick question. since they have 2 batmen running around now, which one is bruce?
is he the one with the costume where the bat symbol kinda sticks out a little bit?
yesQuote:

bruce is the at the forefront
if you think this book is dull, i need to know what you're reading.
man DC gets it in
btw ive been mourning new avengers throughout this whole run, fuckin chaykin?
ok. thats what i thought. puffy bat symbol = bruce. old school bat = greyson
i dropped off the bat books a while back, and knowing morrison, there is no getting back on. its waaaaaaayyyyy too detailed now.
and its just the dcu as a whole doesn't appeal to me in the slightest at the moment. no cohesive interaction between the characters & creators. its just really "meh" to me personally. i know im the minority in thinking that. most comic readers think of dc as the great funny book demi-god. i'm thinking the opposite at the moment, but to be honest, marvels been slacking off too.
and this has been the WORST storyline in new avengers since its started. i keep waiting for it to end and it just wont. its a good idea, but horribly executed. that books gonna need something kinda drastic to snap out of this bullshit.
oh aiight Pandemic, i gotcha. I'll get all the trades then read in that order through them when I get to those issues.
thanks again for the tips
(Does the Dini stuff tie in with the Morrison stuff?)

I'm going to NYC the last week of June. Out of curiosity does anyone know of any must hit comic book shops in the Big Apple? Best deals?
midtown comics by southstreet is the shit, they have everything u may have missed because of sellouts, nice humble shop, and forbidden planet by union sq is usually my manhattan spot, i go there way more often cuz im usually in that area
btw, wolverine was awesome
Can somebody bring me up to date with Batman Inc, I been reading it but fucked if I understand whats going on
what you guys think of the whole dc reboot?
is everything i just read from dc about to be worthless?
are they even doing this with the batman titles?
they're kinda fucking the longtime readers with this decision.
i'm reserving judgment until i see what they're really doing, it does seem gimmicky and just helps to sour my enthusiasm for most modern superhero comics. my main concern is grant morrison's batman story getting fucked with, couldn't care less about any of the other shit, tbh (especially since scott snyder's detective comics run ends right before the 'reboot')...i don't know if i'll be buying any of it depending on where they go with it.
dusk, the madman stuff is so fucking good...i just read the ones with big guy and 'the puke' lol seriously entertaining
what do you think of 'moon knight'? i haven't been reading it because i think the premise is flawed, but the cover to #2 was awesome (also, i can't take bendis' decompression in single issue doses anymore, he is the anti-morrison)
