None for me this week. Is anyone reading Batman: The Long Halloween right now? I keep noticing it in the store and am curious about it.
I read the first few issues of it, it's been a good read, but I'm going to wait for it to finish so I can power through the whole thing.
Big fan of all the Jeph Loeb/Tim Sale stuff, RIP Sale. :(
Missed one:
The War #1 by Eisner winners Garth Ennis and Becky Cloonan:
https://www.boom-studios.com/archives/the-war-series-announcement/
This story originally appeared serialized in the anthology title "Hello Darkness", it ran seven parts in issues #1-6 and 8.
The basic premise is four couples shooting the shit over dinner, talking politics and the war in Ukraine... aaaand a nuclear war breaks out.
Think "zombie holocaust story" only no zombies. Four couples trying to figure out how to survive.
#1 reprints parts 1-3, it's unclear to me if they are planning on expanding it or just wrapping it up with #2 next month.
Edit Apparently it will be 3 issues total. Still not sure how they are going to spread it out that far as the story is only 7 parts and #1 has 1-3 in it.
Be warned: Hello Darkness and The War are SUPER dark. This is not a story for the sensitive. Ennis has written some deeply fucked up things, this is more fucked up than most.

A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.
Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.
There is only one rule:*
Comic Books is a no judgement zone.
You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.
If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.
* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(
I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.
