We’re brimming with comics goodness today as we break down the new direction of the Bat books (especially BATMAN INC.), compare and contrast the return of Bruce Wayne versus the resurrection of Steve Rogers. We also talk 90′s Bat books, AZRAEL, X-MEN: THE DARK PHOENIX SAGA, Wheden and Cassiday’s ASTONISHING X-MEN, the crew’s personal histories with the X-Men, Chris Claremont, SUPER PRO K.O. by Jarrett Williams, ULTIMATE AVENGERS 3 #1, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS #1, EMERALD WARRIORS #1, UNWRITTEN vol. 2, and THANOS IMPERATIVE #3.
Then we tackle a whole mess of Alan Moore books: ANOTHER SUBURBAN ROMANCE, THE COURTYARD & THE COURTYARD COMPANION, LIGHT OF THY COUNTENANCE and A SMALL KILLING, followed by a discussion of AVENGERS: CHILDREN’S CRUSADE #1, the underratedness of artist Jacen Burrows, absolute format vs. omnibus format, and Marvel Essentials.
Whew!
