Uh guys, we have a separate thread for Batman. I'm gonna go ahead and bring this one back on subject. I'm not to pleased with the cover for American Vampire Vol. 3.  I was hoping they'd use the cover for issue #12 instead

Other sides are advertising the latter as the cover of the book, only amazon is using the former. Personally i'm the opposite I like the first one more. Mostly due to the colors.

Wasn't this in some sort of stand-alone series of 6 issues just before War Games? It ended with Bats getting a sort of Iron Man suit. Wasn't awful or anything, came out some time after Broken City I think.

The latest Unwritten trade was pretty bleak, but Mike Carey always seems to have a way of not being a huge turnoff the way other writers can be when they go super dark. The ending where Tom wrote "I'm coming to get you bastards" in the sky with fiery light was pretty great in that I imagine he made all of New York piss it's collective pants, which is just a hell of a magic trick. This series makes me hate trade waiting and I might actually have to go find a real life comic store.

In addition to being really long-running, Hellblazer is one of their best-selling Vertigo books. It's not selling as well as Fables, American Vampire or Unwritten, but it outsells iZombie, Sweet Tooth, DMZ, Scalped, and Northlanders. This is no knock on any of those books, but being selling that consistently after 286 issues has to count for something.

If Hellblazer didn't exist I wouldn't have gotten a single person to read a comic book. It's my favorite comic ever. When only a couple of runs suck you know you've got a great character.

Finished Joe the Barbarian and it was okay. Morrison's writing was kind of uneven and it felt kind of rushed in places, but Sean Murphy was knocking poo poo out of the park all day/everyday, I mean goddamn. That book is so pretty. It could have been scripted by anyone and it would have been worth my time because of the art. The story wasn't all bad, I thought it said some things about grief pretty eloquently through the Queen Bree character, but I just think it got to the end before anything got into a rhythm or you ever actually knew who any of the people were. I'll just say again, Sean Murphy is dynamite.

One when he attended ECCC and had to be dragged out to be social and then confessed his chivalrous love for the lady who draws the Cinderella covers, and a more recent one where he talked about writers and their niches. If he'd drawn them as wordless comics, it would have gone much better.

I picked up the American Vampire Vol. 3. Not only does it contain Issues 12-18 and the Survival of the Fittest arc. A great bargain for about $25; especially since the other hardcover editions were five/six issues and cost the same amount.

So, I just ploughed through all of Sweet Tooth in one sitting. This is one depressing comic, and I'm not sure how to feel about it. I find it hard to feel sympathy for the hybrids especially because some of them are just animals. Sure the sapient ones are somewhat sympathetic and the pig-girl seems to be as intelligent if not moreso than most 7 year old girls, but really, this is what is going to inherit the earth from the human species? And if Sweet Tooth is the source of the plague then murdering him at birth in the same way Thacker did in 1911 was probably the right course of action. And I feel as little for the human characters! There are are a few out and out good characters but for the most part it's just a terrible world full of awful avaricious violent people. God, this is such a shithole world they're depicting that it feels like everything and everyone dying on it would not be so abhorrent.

I should probably clarify for those on the fence about the comic that it is really good, and worth picking up.

Man, this past week's issue of The Unwritten was INSANE... Looking at the previews for the upcoming issues, it looks like the story is going to be taking a hard left turn from where it's been going thus far. I can't wait.

So I've been reading the House of Mystery, which for some reason took me forever to get around to. My conclusion: Cain owns, and needs to inserted into every DC comic wherever possible. That is all.
