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
Rene Engström’s Anders Loves Maria is filled with language, nudity, and indecent everyday situations that are bound to offend many people, and it has soured the words of critics whose blogging I have read. It is also a hybrid work of English infused with occasional Swedish that has been an odyssey in of itself to … Read more100 Days, 100 Comics #75: ‘Anders Loves Maria’

Any message board trolls who have ever doubted the talents of Darick Robertson should take a long hard look at this one-shot that came out from Dark Horse in January. Conan the Cimmerian: The Weight of the Crown is a 40-page self-contained tale both written and drawn by the Transmetropolitan and Boys artist, and his … Read more100 Days, 100 Comics #74: ‘Conan the Cimmerian: The Weight of the Crown’
From the time I first saw a Yellow Lantern ring try to latch itself onto Batman, I knew Geoff Johns would come the point where rings began flying around and causing apocalyptically colorful fights with scenes like Hal Jordan thwacking a giant green hammer through a zombie Spectre’s lower jaw. That one wins my favorite … Read more100 Days, 100 Comics #73: ‘Green Lantern’ #50
