A bit of Neil Gaiman's Batman...

espanolbotIn the Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader trade they also collected some of Gaiman's older Batman stories from back in the day. One of them, about a recuiter for the Suicide Squad evaluating Poison Ivy to see if she'll be a worthwhile addition to the troupe I'll cover later.
But for now, here's a bit from a story involving a group of reporters who come to Gotham to make a documentary about how Batman is actually responsible for the amount of supervillains in the city...
( This takes place just after Death in the Family, for those who were interested in when this was set. )

dahlia_moonFilling capnduckman 's request to see Tim Hunter. This is from issue #11, part three of "The Black Room" arc.
( 'I gave away all my magic.' )
I so love the art and characters in this, even if the main plot line with Dr. Faust didn't interest me all that much.
I have #12 and the Annual, but I haven't read them yet (whyyyyyyyy Dr. Mist??? Whyyyyyy?) so I'll be saving Timothy Hunter's other appearances for another day while I get caught up with this title.

sherkahnnu-Image Comics... I mean DC Comics has done away with one of comics true pillars of story writing.
Hellblazer will be no more after issue #299. Newsarama has the industry response about this.
( Give us a light, love. )

dc2houseofmysteryOh man, I recently started reading Hellblazer again. Just sat down and was pouring over the issues, and I found #27, a classic Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean story, and I remember how hard it hit me when I first read it. The artwork is superb, the story is unhindered by years and years of Hellblazer continuity, it's just pure, unhindered John Constantine. Don't get me wrong, I love almost everything that came after it (to an extent) but this is just amazing.
So I thought... it's been over a year since my last post... why not come back and share something with you all that I adore?

sherkahn ComicBookResources has the preview for the Swamp thing one shot.
As the Vertigo characters and DC Universe begin to interact again, we get Dark Knight encountering one English Bastard for the title of "man you do NOT want to f! with".
( You DO know you're underwear is on the outside, right? )

icon_ukAs per ravenous_raven 's request; "Death Talks About Life"
This was released as a giveaway for use in American high schools, so I don't see a problem with posting the whole thing. If Mods feel otherwise, let me know.
( Banana's can be FUN! )

The story DC Comics refused to publish
Oct. 22nd, 2010 03:30 pmsuperboyprimeTowards the end of the 20th century, Ellis wrote a John Constantine story called "Shoot," which DC canned. As Ellis explains it: "Years ago, I wrote a brief run on the DC Vertigo horror comic JOHN CONSTANTINE: HELLBLAZER. Brief, because I wrote a horror story therein called SHOOT. SHOOT was about schoolyard slayings in the United States. It was completed before Columbine happened, but scheduled to appear not long after. The regime at DC Comics at the time decided that it could not be released in its completed form. I refused to go along with the changes they wanted to make. They decided not to publish the book at all. I quit."
This week, DC finally published the story, as the lead in VERTIGO RESURRECTED, a 100-page anthology of rare Vertigo stories.
( Four pages. )

stolisomancerThis entertains me greatly, so I tracked down some back issues to put it all together. It's sort of a gift-wrapped crossover.
This begins with Ennis's run on Hellblazer, and goes all the way through to Punisher.
( a few pages from various comics, after the cut )
