Batman: Detective Comics Vol. 2: Fear State | Mariko Tamaki

pick

I've really enjoyed Mariko Tamaki's very grounded run on Detective Comics, which harmonizes well with James Tynion's concurrent run on Batman. We must be having a real fungal moment because this story, like The Last of Us, also features a fungus.

Batman: Detective Comics Vol. 2: Fear State | Mariko Tamaki

I'm a broken record about how wildly good Dan Mora's art is, but it's so cool to see one of my favorite artists drawing my favorite character. I love Mariko Tamaki's pacing, too.

CatLass007 @JLaurenceCohen There was a time when I collected every Batman comic I could get my hands on. Then finances became an issue. Whine. I have read some graphic novels here and there, but even that has not been very recent. Batman is my favorite superhero mostly because he‘s just human. And I appreciate why he is so driven. I have been a fan of The Dark Knight for more years than I care to remember. (edited) 2y

JLaurenceCohen @CatLass007 this is The Dark Knight's 15th anniversary, and it's still the best superhero movie. If you haven't read Scott Snyder's Batman comics, I highly recommend them. 2y

CatLass007 @JLaurenceCohen Thanks for the recommendation. 2y

CatLass007 @JLaurenceCohen I just looked up Scott Snyder‘s Batman. I borrowed The Court of Owls from the library. I may have borrowed City of Owls also. Pretty much a wow! (edited) 2y

JLaurenceCohen @CatLass007 nice! When you finish Snyder's in-continuity run, check out his Black Label story Last Knight on Earth 2y

CatLass007 @JLaurenceCohen I thought The Court of Owls was excellent. I‘m adding Scott Snyder to my “always read list.” 2y

CatLass007 @JLaurenceCohen I just re-read our exchange and it dawned on me that you were talking about The Dark Knight movie. I was thinking about Frank Miller‘s The Dark Knight Returns. Which one was the movie you were talking about? Was that the one with Heath Ledger? I can‘t even remember who played Batman in that one. But I still remember sitting in the theater and the gut punch of the opening of Tim Burton‘s Batman starring Michael Keaton. (cont)⬇️ 2y

CatLass007 I think it was Danny Elfman‘s score that gave the movie an extra oomph. And I think it‘s the only Tim Burton movie I‘ve ever liked. That movie was groundbreaking, in both good and bad ways. It was the re-launch of the superhero genre. And that‘s what‘s both good and bad. Hollywood never knows when to stop. The market has become glutted with some pretty awful movies. 2y

Battle Within | Gail Simone

Day 5 of the #Fallisbooked challenge by @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks and @OriginalCyn620

#Harvest - Gail Simone is the queen of writing creepy comic book villains, and one of her creepiest was Harvest, an urban legend come to life. Harvest was a vengeful spirit who could be summoned if someone shouted her name at the moon and she would drain the life of anything she touched, be it plants, animals, or humans. Scary stuff! 😱🎃👻

OriginalCyn620 Sounds kinda awesome! 🖤 6y

DaveGreen7777 @OriginalCyn620 Thank you! 😁 6y

DaveGreen7777 YAY!!! 😀 Gail Simone‘s first Birds of Prey run remains one of my favorite series of all time! I reread all her issues a couple of years ago and her storytelling blew me away all over again! 😱 6y

Birds of Prey: Of Like Minds | Gail Simone, Ed Benes, Alex Lei

#comiccovercrush #7days7covers Day 5

Thank you to the wonderful @Meaw_catlady for the tag!😺

Anyone who would like to share 7 favorite comic book covers, consider yourselves tagged!

Barbara Gordon (whether she is Batgirl or Oracle) is one of my favorite comic book characters ever, so I love this cover featuring her surrounded by several other DC heroines! IMO, Gail Simone and Nicola Scott were the best writer/artist team to work on this series!

Leftcoastzen Love this cover. 6y

DaveGreen7777 @Leftcoastzen I do, too! 😀 6y

Batgirl Vol. 5: Deadline (the New 52) | Gail Simone, Fernando Pasarin

so-so

Much much darker than the "batgirl of burnside" run. I might be reading these out of order.

Birds of Prey Vol. 2: Death of Oracle | Gail Simone, Marc Andreyko

#riotgrams wants #pinkcovers huh? Here ya go! Even comic lovers can find some gorgeous pink cover art in a medium that largely stayed away from pink on its covers unless it was a romance title. Still, these are some beautiful examples from the 1970's, 1980s, and today! #birdsofprey #avengersarena #alphaflight #pink

This is ORACLE. Why is she in a freaking terribly-fitted HOSPITAL CHAIR?! #cripfail #comics

(Also, more crotch shots and wedgies. Yawn.)

Laura317 😂😂😂 9y

Lizpixie I swear most comics are drawn by twelve year old boys! 9y

DeborahSmall Lmao sexy ladies; great boobs and legs and a monstrous wheelchair...you'd imagine something sleek. It's like a comic from the 80's has been put as the background lol 😂 9y

JSW Can I just say the hashtag crip fail is genius. 😂😑😂😑 9y

Lauredhel @JSW its time has come! (Why does swype autocorrect an apostrophe in there? Gah.) (edited) 9y

Lauredhel @DeborahSmall she's a tech bloody genius! THAT CHAIR. *shakes head*. It's like the artist did a Google search for "wheelchair" , looked at only the first result (probably a stock photo of a sad crip in a dark room gazing wistfully out the window), and decided that's enough research. 9y

moranadatter Your library must be amazing. I'm pretty sure ours has limits on the number we can check out. 9y

Vexingcircumstance Ours has a limit too. It's 25 or 30 but they can let you go over if they choose to. 9y

queerbookreader @kmdartist @Vexingcircumstance Mine doesn't have a limit on books but it has a media limit and charges for holds. And the overdue price is outrageous (edited) 9y

Vexingcircumstance Glad mine doesn't charge for holds. That's the only way I can get books most of the time. My daughter won't always let me browse. 9y

moranadatter We're limited to 100 items total, but there are stricter limits for media. They don't charge for holds, but we can't have more than 75 on hold at once. Overdue fines are reasonable. 9y
