You mean you didn't review Green Lantern or Blackest Night Titans? Oh boy Craig, some of the fanboys are gonna eat you alive....lol. I don't mind, because I read them and I liked them, as I'm sure you'd like GL. BN Titans wasn't nearly as bad as McKeever's crap, and I enjoyed it. Let me know how you feel about those books if you can.

Ever since Blackest Night #2, I've been feeling like they're just a glorified snuff film. I don't have any interest in seeing more senseless deaths that will have to be explained away later.

(...and you thought I'd be eaten alive for NOT reviewing them!)

You didn't review any Blackest Night, so I have to give this video 1 star :P

I have to admit with Detective Comics I stray from the story and just get taken in by the artwork and layouts.

It seems comic writers have a shelf life of about 10-15 years before they go stale if once good. 4 if yer talking about Loeb :(

Titans blew my mind. I had no expectations but with Benes on art and the story finally dealing with all the Titan's loses, it paid off big and I can't wait for #2. I did see the one death coming in this issue all the way back since Titans East Special #1.

The only gripe I have so far and may not be a gripe by #2 is no Duela Dent.

Craig.... RI

Craig, at peace.

Craig, RIS

Craig at peace.

No Green Lantern and a bad review of Batman & Robin.... I declare shenanigans on you sir!!! J/K, to each his own. But i still think you should have at least read GL, it was a fantastic issue IMO. Mahnke is a killer.

[blugoblin01]

Hahahahahaha!!! You're killin me dude!! Good show anyway though.
