Brian Warmoth Well, that was something. Way back at the end of Batman and Robin #4 Morrison had me onboard with the Oberon Sexton mystery, and I’m happy to see that my worst fears weren’t realized, but it turns out I wasn’t far off. Spoiler Alert: Don’t read on to the next paragraph if you don’t want … Read more100 Days, 100 Comics #81: ‘Batman and Robin’ #12
I do of course realize that there’s no overarching rule outlining what an issue #0 and an issue #1 need to be, but that lack of law doesn’t change the fact that this was really the second issue of a miniseries and formally came together a bit awkwardly. The core story about Boston Brand advanced … Read more100 Days, 100 Comics #80: ‘Brightest Day’ #1
C2E2 week seemed like a good time to end my absence streak from Dark Tower Comics today, and Brightest Day #0 by Geoff Johns, Peter Tomasi, and Fernando Pasarin was a fine note to come back here with. Strangely enough, I did not immediately see this cover and recognize it as a piece of work … Read more100 Days, 100 Comics #79: ‘Brightest Day’ #0
• I ended up out at the Twins/White Sox game on Saturday instead of traveling out to Manhattan to the MoCCA Art Fest, but luckily Gary Tyrrell, Rick Marshall and Sean T. Collins blogged about most of the things I would have wanted to see anyway. At the top of that list, of course, is … Read moreLink Sausage: 4/13/2010
I had to sit on this read for a bit after Batman #686. “Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?” is an unmistakably moving slice of Bat-verse, but it’s singular nature demands hard swallow to add up the parts of what Neil Gaiman and Andy Kubert put together here. Does this story deserve a place in … Read more100 Days, 100 Comics #78: ‘Detective Comics’ #853
• Well, first off, if you doubted why I’ve been neglecting the blog over the past few weeks, it’s because I’ve been busy with day-job work. If you need links for proof, I’ve been writing about Adrien Brody and Predators, Edward Norton and The Avengers, the 2010 Academy Awards, Olivia Wilde and Tron: Legacy, Marc … Read moreLink Sausage: 3/16/2010

If I wasn’t behind before, I have completely jumped the shark now, but it’s time to soldier on. I read Neil Gaiman and Andy Kubert’s Batman #686 eons ago, but for some reason I purchased part 2 of “Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?” in Detective Comics #853 and immediately forgot until last weekend when … Read more100 Days, 100 Comics #77: ‘Batman’ #686
The Oscars may have forgotten you in their montage, but Warmoth.org will not.
There was a split second between pages in Batman and Robin #8 when I was expecting to see a horrible replay of the final scene that dare not not be named from Star Wars: Episode III. What happened instead felt much more like Batman, as did this entire issue, and I’m pleased to report back … Read more100 Days, 100 Comics #76: ‘Batman and Robin’ #8
