    I read all 6 volumes in a row. When I got to that moment I think will redeem the series for you, it was perfect.

    Deadly Class is a good example of this. And Tokyo Ghost, but not as much.

    I even noticed it in his shorter work in the Crawlspace omnibus. Even in 4 or 5 issues he can build these gigantic worlds and populate them with characters we should hate but somehow grow to love. I totally agree that Tokyo Ghost is a smaller scale example, loved that book.

    Tokyo Ghost was so amazing. A personal favorite. Wasn’t it originally supposed to be longer?

    A Batman story from Brian Michael Bendis & Nick Derington featuring the Riddler sounds like the kind of Batman story I need in my life. Sounds in line w/ all my favorite Batman material.

    Also, Tom King writing Superman needs to happen more often.

    Releasing comics through Walmart is a great way to get new people reading comics, especially since the books will point people to comic shops. "Walmart exclusive" new content is frustrating because, well, Walmart, but it could be cool.

    The rough part (other than, well, Walmart) is that the new stories will apparently be 12 pages per $4.99 issue, so for Bendis & King's 12-part stories, you'll have to spend about $60 for what'd normally fit in 7 traditional issues. It's a great price point if you don't own the reprinted material and want to, but otherwise, I feel like we just gotta hope it doesn't take that long for the new stories to be collected.

    I'm hoping they end up in trades. No was I'm buying those.

    A double-edge sword. It can help comic shops by introducing new readers, who normally wouldn’t seek out comic shops, to comics. They’ll find a local comic store after that and get more into the characters and other series. Although, that can be wishful thinking. It might hurt comic shops, which are already struggling as it is.

    I truly have no idea what’s actually going on in The Wicked and Divine anymore but I still love reading it.

    Read through Ice Cream Man. What a weird fucking book.

    Really did not like People vs. The Just League. I'm kinda over this book as a whole.

    Wonder Woman/Conan was kinda weird, but I appreciate it for what it was.

    Reading Crosswinds now. Really loving it. Gail is a gem.

    Detective Comics continues to be one of my favorite books. Absolutely adore it. Cass has become a character that I adore. Probably sacrilege, but I enjoy it more than Batman. The individual stories it Tynion tells are sooooo so strong.

    Keep on the sunny side.

    Sign me up! I wonder if the Arrowverse CW shows will be included. I’d be all in for the comics and Batman TAS alone though, not to mention all those good animated movies.

    Also, will this lead to Disney rolling MU into their tv/movie streaming service?

    same. i think that development was the shot in the arm that the book needed.

    I have not kept up with batman since april probably. im behind on everything right now. trying to save money and comics took the hit. i did get the issues of mister miracle and sex criminals that i haven't got to read yet and I'm gonna sit down with those tonight

    It's been so freaking good as you would imagine. King has been nailing it, obviously, but the 5 or so preludes were also a lot of fun and written by Tim Seeley who's been doing great work recently. Since you'll have the luxury of reading them after they're out, definitely read all 5 of Seeley's before you read Batman 48 & 49 because each of Seeley's ends with a really creepy epilogue that's all building to a confrontation that had already happened in Batman, so that was a little bit of shitty timing.

    Hey, Ant-Man & the Wasp comes out this week.

    So, if you're doing one of those Further Reading posts, I'd like to get 'em in the next few days.

    Thanks!

    This stuff looks dumb in the good way that only comics can truly get away with. I'll definitely check out the Moon Knight/Spider-Man mash up eventually.

    Just started vol 5 of Y: the Last Man. I'm kinda sad it's almost over, it's been a ride.

    Next I'll be reading either Superior Foes of Spider-Man or the Riverdale comics.

    Superior Foes is fun. I have yet to dive into any Riverdale comics even though I enjoy the show.

    I’m not a fan of Archie, but Superior Spider-Man is great. I used to think Green Goblin was Peter’s arch nemesis, but not after reading Superior.
