![]() Night of the Reaper, from Batman 237, December 1971! It's more of a Gothic murder mystery, set at the Annual Rutland Parade in Vermont. There is a Classic Batman and Robin story. It does feature an original Swamp Thing story, along with a Swamp Thing reprint. It's a pretty timely anthology collection comic out in October. The Swamp Thing Halloween Horror Giant is interesting for a number of reasons. It was a big deal that he went from Marvel to DC. He's working on Superman for DC Comics, now. Now it's coming back around as a reprint in an anthology comic book.īatman Giant 3 started a Batman-Riddler story by Brian Michael Bendis, who wrote Ultimate Spider-Man. Six issues to collect in a trade paperback. That seems to be the way stories are written anymore. Lee's Hush was a nine issue series - nine months to tell that story. The simple design is gone and replaced by a busy, over-complicated style. One of the critiques I have of the 2011 reboot of the Justice League in Origin is that the team's costumes are to complicated. Although the story was written by Jeph Loeb, the art for Hush and Origin reprinting in the Justice League Giant and by Jim Lee. Turns out it was one of my favorite Bat-villains, thanks to Frank Gorshin. The final reveal was pretty amazing to, as to who was really behind the whole thing. Not the greatest Bat-villain, but a new one. ![]() It pretty much included nearly all of Batman's rogues. It involved the entire Batman Family drawing in Superman and Lois Lane. My question is, who decided to reprint the Hush storyline in Batman Giant? I thought Hush was pretty innovative. The rest is reprint.Four stories in the Batman Giant, nine in the Swamp Thing Giant. The reason I'm not a fan of these over-priced exclusives is that out of 100 pages, there's only a twelve-page original story. I'm trying to figure out how to track it down without it costing an arm and a leg. I'm trying to figure out how to track down an issue I missed. I've gone to Wal-Mart and gotten three issues of Batman Giant, an issue of Justice League Giant and the Swamp Thing Halloween Horror. Once the cover price got over a buck, it just kept going up and up until we're now at $3.95 or $4.99 for a single issue cover price. I started reading Batman around the same time because I was a fan of the '60's TV series - still am.įrom that point on, cover prices jumped to thirty-five cents, forty, fifty then a buck, buck and a quarter, buck-ninety-five. Might have been a buck for the three-pack. It was in a three-pack with an issue of Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk. One of my earliest comics was an issue of The Amazing Spider-Man, where he fights The Tarantula (a truly politically incorrect and stereotypical rogue) and, is confronted by a Gwen Clone and The Gremlin. This was The Bronze Age of Comics, just after Gwen Stacy's death. I started reading comics just after the price hike from $.12 to a quarter. I firmly believe that no single issue of a comic book should cost $5. If he can do that again, and make Natalie Portman watchable. Once again, the film put bodies in seats in the theater and made money. It may have felt silly and campy, with Chris Hemsworth channeling Adam West it may have been a missed opportunity for Karl Urban's Executioner. Waititi may have saved the franchise with Ragnarok. uh, what's next after you destroy ALL life in the universe?" Can't go to Disneyland. But his character was a vague cipher bent on destroying ALL life. ![]() The second Thor film was just okay, bordering on "Meh". ![]() My wife and I saw it for our anniversary. I stand on the fact that Ragnarok was the most successful film in the first Thor trilogy. ![]() No one is excited about Natalie Portman's Jane Foster becoming worthy to wield Mjolnir. My wife, my friends and co-workers and I are all having a debate over the prospects of Love and Thunder. ![]()
