Pick of the F'n Week! 0
I've always thought of Neil Gaiman as a great writer, but never paid too much attention to his comic book work. Sorry, I know I offended you already. I read Batman & Detective on a regular basis and wasn't too excited for the Gaiman run, I was more excited for Kubert than anything. I read through the book and was immediately sucked in. I'm not sure if what happened in the book is mainstream continuity, but I kind of hope it was. Gaiman brings up some really interesting issues in this first p...

Contains spoilers! 1
If you're not a regular reader & just pick up issues with your favorite villains in it, this one is going to mess with your head. Just skimming through it told me this was either a dream, an alternate reality, or set in the past....must have something to do with that beam Darkseid hit Batman with in Final Crisis. The Joker looks like his old Batman TAS self & still on speaking terms with Harley. The 2ed thing I noticed is that even in a long dress, Selina Kyle still manages to look like ...

The Batman series gets stranger (if that's even possible) 0
Neil Gaiman's "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader" Part 1 is another step for the Batman series toward the edge of insanity. With the disembodied voice of Bruce Wayne conversing with another mysterious disembodied voice and questioning the proceedings of his own wake, Selina Kyle and Alfred Pennyworth "say a few words" on behalf of the departed, giving different and ridiculous renditions of how they were responsible for killing Batman in what seem like alternate realities.As the death of Ba...

Wah? 3
I'm guessing I'm supposed to be as confused as Bats is right now.There's a funeral for Bats that being held in Crime Alley. (Yeah, THAT Crime Alley.) And everyone's showing up for it, enemies and allies alike. When people are asked to speak their final words, Catwoman (who's the golden age version, apparently) appears and tells the story of how Batman died. She was convinced by Batman to give up crime, and instead tried to fight it. However, Batman didn't approve of her methods. She quit everyth...

A Grave Book 0
In this issue it seems that Batman is having an outer body experience as he watches Alfred and Catwoman each tell very different stroies as they each give a eulogy. Each giving a reason as to why they are responsible for Batmans death. Now I am not quite sure where this very strange story is heading,but for now at least I am enjoying the ride. Now at first I just thought it was Gaimen climbing to his usual self indulgence rock. yet as it went, I realised that He and Andy Kubertwere actually bui...

BATMAN #686 0
"Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?" part 1. This issue is written by Neil Gaiman and drawn by Andy Kubert. The art is really ggod in this issue and Gaiman did a great job writing this. It's a really, really weird story, but nonetheless a great story. The story begins in the back of a bar in Crime Alley. We are seeing Batman's funeral in that bar. At the front of the bar letting people know to go to the back for the services is none other then Joe Chill. The person who in a way created Bat...
