perpetual_motion: and he'll kick your ass (damn right he is)
Hey, everyone, if you're reading this, it's the last post for Comic Dork Sunday, and I'm still not sure whether or not the posts are listing in the proper order on your reading pages. If you'd like to read in order, Catch up with Officer Crotch and click through using "Next Entry." (If you're on lj, follow this link and do "Next Entry" from there.)

So, last entry for this Sunday, and I'm going out with my absolute favorite book from the new DC. Yeah, GLC and GL: NG were both AWESOME, but you know what? Scott Snyder is my new comic writer boyfriend, and I am going to ride that wave of awesome for as long as I can.

Let's get spoiled, bitches!

No, seriously, I've got eight scans and am giving away the ENTIRE first issue, including a fantastic twist. )

LOVED IT SO MUCH. I've said it a few more times today, but it bears repeating: I still have no idea how the fuck this timeline works. I imagine if I read JLA or Action Comics, it'd clear things up a little, but life is too short to read comics I don't care much about when I have all the stuff I've talked about today. There are portions of the new DC I won't touch with a ten-foot rage pole, but I wasn't planning on reading them anyway, so I sort of double-win.

I reviewed the new JLI awhile back and am too damned lazy to look for the entry to link you properly. All you have to know is that I liked it. Now, let's stop wondering why I can't be bothered to link and look at some pictures.

four images, no waiting (unless you have a slow connection) )

Damien's characterization fucking slays me.

And not only that, but it makes a couple of damned fine points. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU STEPH.

Okay, a little more: This is a Bruce you know, folks. He's got the obsessive streak. He's got the cool toys. He's got his eye on the saving Gotham prize, but he's also got a softer edge to him. Is he still an exacting taskmaster? Absolutely. But there's a layer of angst off of him, maybe more than one, and it makes me wonderful to read. Because he's the Bruce you know, but he's also a Bruce a lot of people have missed. The Bruce (and Bat) who is a complete hardass but with a softer side that balances him out.

Snyder writes a hell of a first chapter. In fact, it was his spectacular work on Dick Grayson's Bat-time in "Detective" that got me to try the new "Batman," and I am so fucking glad I did.

I'll go into more depth on Comic Dork Sunday. Right now, I've got to run out and comic dork in person.
perpetual_motion: you're breathless with ob....jectification (guys a sleepy bunny)
HOLY BALLS YOU GUYS.

Detective was my introduction to Scott Snyder. Never read his other stuff and picked up Detective purely to see Dick as Bats. Now? HOLY SHIT SNYDER.

It's kind of obscene how good Snyder's run was. This is a guy who knows his Bat-history and knows how to deploy it. He made Dick stronger, made Jim harder-working, made Babs the most badass I've ever seen her, and he--holy fuck, you guys--he made the Joker even creepier.

Methinks I desperately add whichever Bat-book he's writing to my pull list. I am positively fascinated about what he can do with Bruce.

P.S. I TOLD YOU JIM FUCKING KNEW.

If you've kept up with my comic ramblings in the past, you know that I have a love/hate relationship with Judd Winick. I liked his run on "Outsiders" and "Titans", and I wanted to ship him a shit in a hat for what he did to "Green Arrow/Black Canary". [livejournal.com profile] looking2dastars mentioned to me at one point that Winick pretty much craps all over canon like a particularly stupid untrained dog, and I had mentioned that it would explain why I liked him on "Oustiders" and "Titans". My knowledge of the teams in those books isn't as strong as my knowledge of other DC superheroes, so I didn't notice if Winick mucked about with backstory because I didn't know the backstory.

And now Winick's on "Batman", and I've gone with the flow. He's done some really good character moments with Dick taking on the cowl, and the story overall has been entertaining.

I should have known something was about to go horribly wrong.

Spoilers for Batman #691 )

Seriously, one kick in the junk is all I'm asking. I'll donate to charity to do it.
