SuaveStar Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Yes, he's dead. Was he murdered at the end of his series, or did he just die? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I wasn't reading the series by the end, but something tells me he was shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 He was shot and fell out of a window into a river where his body was never found. Come on, Joker does that twice a week and no-one thinks he's dead. Plus by the end Jean Paul was meta-human strong, fast and tough. No way could being shot finish him off. Not even Batman thinks he's dead after it happens. If he was dead then there is no way that DC wouldn't be capitalising on a Black Lantern Azbats to threaten the new Bat team rather than just digging up the Drakes, Graysons and 3rd string villains. edit: Just gone back to the issue. Azrael is shot by Byss and takes them both over a balcony into the river. Byss is later captured alive but injured, and the Azreal costume is found as wellwith two bullet holes through it. There is not sign of Jean-Paul, aside from a sleep-deprived vision that Batman has of him going towards the light. Comic-book wisdom states that he's not really dead, they just haven't decided what to do with him yet. I will mention that at the start of blackest night he is one of the fallen heroes that Hal Jordon shows Barry Allen through his ring. Editorially his presence must have been approved and yet he's not a Black Lantern. He's definitely not dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDK_theBatmaN Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I got Azrael #1. I had know idea about Jean Paul Valley's "death." I picked it up anyway with an open mind. Really liked the cover. I kinda liked the story. The art was mediocre. But the ending? Azrael's crucified? Michael Lane doesn't even make it through the first issue? Here's to hoping Jean Paul Valley steps into this book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Just read Tony Daniel's first issue of Batman. There's £2.35 I'll never see again. And probably won't be picking up Batman again till a GOOD writer actually handles Dick in the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 People buying the Doc Savage Special? Waiting for the trade on all the pulp stuff, methinks. Shit, I almost grabbed the Doc Savage Golden Pyramid trade before I remembered that I own the original issues. I'm as psyched for this story as I can be having found out how smug the author is.

TDK_theBatmaN Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Batman and Robin #6 Question about the last few panels for anybody out there: Who is the guy in the batsuit in the zur-en-arrh chamber? and is that a batarang in his hand? Am I missing something or is it supposed to be a mystery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDK_theBatmaN Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I have to admit though, it made me excited for Blackest Knight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 That + The pages before the end of the issue + Cameron Stewart on the next arc = Me very excited for Blackest Knight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuaveStar Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Yeah, that does look awesome. I'm getting the issue on friday, Tan's last one. The one thing the series does have really going for it, is that Quitley is awesome on the covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 So, what with no Robin on the cover, and Damian having five bullet holes in him, are we assuming he's sitting this London bit out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 So, what with no Robin on the cover, and Damian having five bullet holes in him, are we assuming he's sitting this London bit out? Squire is a Robin style character. Damian could be facing some baddies in Gotham during this. Anyway, you know who's awesome: J H Williams III Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 So, what with no Robin on the cover, and Damian having five bullet holes in him, are we assuming he's sitting this London bit out? I'd say yes, but there will be a lot of Bat-Family characters to fill his place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Has anyone read any of Cameron Stewart's stuff, and is willing to tell me if it's usually as good as that cover looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
