Thanks! ..........Your welcome. Seriously, it's just my opinion about on this graphic novel, and I know I must be in the minority on this(Where the hell are you Toland!) but I just didn't enjoy the Dark Knight returns.

Dan Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Here! I'm here. Storywise I always thought this was a strong story, though not the all-time classic it's made out to be. And I can't stand the artwork, but I've ranted about that many times before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this must be what it feels like to be an American. edit: That was unfair. Its probably close to how a fan of Fox News feels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuaveStar Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I was only kidding. I'd hate for Dubs to go all goth on me. Hi Dubs! Yeah, I was just making sure that people knew that my opinion on DKR was just that my opinion. Anyway: Animal Volumes 1-3. Great fun series and I'm sad it's over. I loved the last issue with the Morrison fourth wall thing and started laughing whenMorrison thanks some people and sets up a fight for animal man in the background Batman: face the face: When i first got this I hated it and left it lying for over a year and decided to re-read it. It's not as bad as i once thought, but it still was a very mediocre story to me. This was just setting up the return of two face and picking up the batman storys and really was just a set up book and really felt like it. The darkness accursed Volume 1: I gave this a shot as it was £4. Plus I really liked the game when it came out a couple of years ago. This sort of threw me in at the deep end and when i read the introduction from the editor I expected really graphic violence and disturbing stuff.What i got was an actually ok story with some alright artwork. It was an enjoyable, almost self contained thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Oh, some ones I read after coming back from a friend's party on New Year's and crashing in another friend's apartment but I never got around to posting them. Y: The Last Man: I read all 10 TPBs in the period of the early morning. I really, really liked this series. I loved that the women could all pass the Blechdel test, I liked the way they focus on the political situation in addition to the individual situations. ...I wish I could remember more, but I was slightly drunk when I read through all of it, and it was very early in the morning. Persepolis: I've heard so many good things about this series, and I've been thinking about trying to find the movie for a while. I paid more attention to the story than I did to the art, honestly, and it's excellent. It's nice to hear the story of those who were growing up in Iran around that time. Read both of these. They're awesome. Comic Books: 0 TPBs: 6 Graphic Novels: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Batman #682-Ok, I will fight to the death to stand behind RIP as a great Batman story but you need to have studied Bats' 70 year history in depth to even get one iota of this issue. There are a lot of allusion to Golden and Silver Age stories where Batman dies and Robin grows up to be him or some other superhero analogue. What with the inclusion of the NIghtwing scene I think Morrison is saying he cares deeply that Dick will be Batman. I think. Kind of a mess though. As a piece of Batman history it's great but as a comic book it's a piece of shit. 4/10 PS what the fuck was The Lump doing there? We know that RIP took place in between FC 1 and 2 but this still needs to be addressed. I haven't read 683 yet so I'm hoping something is cleared up.

The Lump and Final Crisis continuity are explained. And I really enjoyed 682 and 683. They put a cap on Morrison's exploration of "what if all of Batman's 70 year old history did happen" and furthered the "Batman as the ultimate human" thread he began in R.I.P.

SuaveStar Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I felt that part one of whatever happened to the caped crusader was a lot better retrospective of batmans 70 year career. But hey that's me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuaveStar Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Punisher war journal vol 4: Jigsaw. The art was crap, the punisher did not look like a badass, he looked like a normal guy and really I couldn't care less about him in this. Their was a guy Jigsaw was training to be the new punisher for some reason, and when he fights the real Frank Castle, I couldn't tell the difference and to tell you the truth I didn't care. I really wanted to like Jigsaw and this, but I couldn't this was horribly disappointing and the art was really bad and incosistent. Frank Castle in volumes 1-3 looked built and recognisable, skull on chest or not, but he looked like an average guy you would see walking down the street in black and in certain panels, I couldn't tell if it was him or the other guy.
