206th BATMAN & ROBIN

148th

FIRST 2009 POST!!!!!

can't wait for this guy's books to get good again!

i'm currently reading the spanish reprint of the book from the mark waid run on...
quite a lenghty read, to tell you the truth, 500 pages per tome...
i'm on volume 5 of 7, that's a lot of wally!!
i gets a little repetitive as a collected read, with the recaps included on the early pages of every issue ... it'll give you a headache but i understand the function on the monthly format.
i'm a t the point when grant morrison and mark millar take over for a bit, its just a lot of fun.
i rarely hear mention to this run, i find it quite interesting to see both of them collaborate on such a rich character.
they make the crazy science really work and it provides a breeder for the waid's stuff.
i had already read from the geoff jones run till the one year later debacle

43rd

this is the manhattan guardian (based on simon/kirby's 1940s guardian) a news reporter-crime fighter character created by grant morrison for the seven soldiers which i just finished reading.

this series is fantastic, specially how its written and tied together. impressive!

the authors involved do a great job and really obviate morrison's capacity to write with such different registries (all characters are completely different, and the narrative styles used even seem from different periods)

some of them i wasn't very interested in as i flipped through the books in the store (cameron stewart, ryan sook, frazer irving), but after reading the book my opinion was polarized!

the only one that had caught my eye to begin with (simone bianchi) was the one that worst performed at a narrative level, but with beautiful style and visuals (go down in style)

but dont listen to me !

go read this!

now!
