    not that im aware of ^
    its under DC:


    they brought em back from way back then... just a 6 parter.

    Also, i recently read Arkham Asylum: Living Hell from '03 i think...
    It wasn't great - idk, i was kinda hoping for a darker story so maybe my opinion was a little swayed... i been diggin in the baty crates for a grimey story.

    ^I thought it was great until they brought in Etrigan and made it a supernatural story...the art/color was quality, but it was ultimately kind of disappointing.

    For diggin in the batman crates, I would recommend looking through 'Batman: Legends of The Dark Knight' back issues at the shop, there's a lot of good shit there that hasn't been collected...a lot of shit too though lol

    its a pretty dark batman story from the late 80s-early 90s. 4 part prestige format series.
    it even has jason todd as robin with a big ass .357 revolver.lol

    ^that one was pretty dope, and jason todd had a good showing, but i think batman was brought down a little too easily...plus, it seems like it was heavily influenced by 'dark knight returns'

    'ego and other tails' by darwyn cooke is awesome also.

    thanks for the recommendations
    i'll check these out... i never strayed too far from detective comics or his title as far as batman goes when i was younger but recently i been in the mood to read something dark from him and i know there has to be something out there.

    The Shadowland stuff is great in my opinion, I don't know if everyone else shares the same view. It's probably my favorite right now. The X-Men/Dracula stuff sound like it would suck but its actually done very well and I'm enjoying it although i haven't read the side issues.

    I do and i don't like Shadowland... DD is my shit... I just think it's trying too hard in a way.
    I like seeing this side of DD. It suits him in a way that could have been done better. I think it just moved a little too fast. You don't really get to bask in the depths of this hell... I compare it to how well done batman has been with Morrison and i wish it has the same focus.

    I'm watching the Superman/Batman flick... it's awesome, I wish Turner could have done the art, he was my fav artist but i like the art in this too except Supe looks a lil feminine.

    Yeah thats probably the one thing i dont like about it, it is moving super fast, i keep having to go back to the last issues to remember what happened. It also doesnt help that I seem to always read the issues backwards. I'm still confused as to what that explosion was. I'm also not too thrilled with the new 'Man without fear'. I was hoping for someone else.

    shadowland is a hit or miss. I'm still picking up daredevil and shadowland. not too fond of black panther as the next man without fear.

    x-men vamp arc is better than uncanny but that's not saying much with gillen cowriting with fraction hopefully it gets better.

    omit sucked.
