The Sinestro Corps War and Batman R.I.P. are the things that really got me into reading superhero comics again. I've always liked superheroes, but I hadn't really been an avid reader like I am now until those two stories. With Johns' and Morrison's stories both wrapping up this year, it'll be pretty bitter-sweet for me.

I remember when it was announced that Nocenti was starting work over at DC, everyone was excited because some of her Marvel stuff was supposed to be quite good. According to her CV page, she was even nominated to an Eisner. This seems like some really terrible writing for someone who was nominated for an Eisner.

I love that cover.

I'm planning on reading this book in trade, but I love how nuts the premise is, and I'm glad to see that it's maintaining its quality.

Every other issue people seem convinced that Johns is going to leave Aquaman, but I've literally nothing to that effect for quite some time now, so I'm a bit confused as to why.

I can't decide if this cover is awesome or dumb...

I do kind of wish that they had let Morrison finish his run in a 12 issue limited series that didn't pay attention to the New 52. (Wasn't it originally announced that it would be called "Leviathan or something?) If they had wanted to bring Batman Inc. into the New 52, they should have made it a series of three issue arcs involving the different members of Inc from around the world with a bunch of different creative teams.

So basically this issue, but all the time.

I'll probably end up checking this series out now that I'll have an Earth 2 sized hole to fill in my pull list. Simone is hit or miss sometimes, but she still gets me to show up for most of the things she writes.

This is a pretty huge bummer, and it's pretty likely now that I'm going to be dropping this book in favor of something else. Maybe I'll add Hawkeye to the pull list instead of just reading the trades. Have both archer books monthly.

I'm guessing he's only going to be playable on the Challenge maps a la Nightwing and Robin (until the Harley DLC) in Arkham City. I'd guess that this will start out as an Amazon pre-order bonus and they'll end up putting it up for sale later.

I'm glad that they've got Conroy back. Even if it is a prequel, having that bit of continuity will be nice.

EDIT: I guess that bit of excitement was a bit premature. I guess we don't really hear him do much more than grunt in the trailer, but the dude what's playing Batman sure sounds a lot like Conroy.

I do this fairly regularly with trades, but no so much single issues. It's a bigger up front investment, but I get a (more) complete story and I don't run the risk of adding another book to a pull that's already too full. I prefer trades in general anyway. They arrange better on a shelf.
