My favorite Era of Jim Gordon is No Man's Land. He kicks so much ass.

Mmm. Yes. NML Jim's the bestest. I miss having Jim in action. Hell, I miss having Jim in Gotham. He's the bestest Daddy ever, even better than Spy Daddy.

As for B:YO, what Scola said. The last at least 5 years of Batcanon don't really owe all that much to B:YO, and Gotham, at least until War Games, bore more of Chuck Dixon's mark than it did FM's. We dropped pretty much right from War Games into Crisis mode, so it's hard to get a feel for the flavor at the moment. (It doesn't help that one book has been running "A Pre-War Games" story since War Games, and others have been focusing on the changing faces--sometimes literally--of the bad guys.)

(Offhand, I'd say it Needs More Rucka, but I tend to say that about everything these days, including my local bookstore, which is seriously lacking in anything I don't already own, forcing me to go outside the city proper to get my fix. But this isn't about my taste in thrillers.)

I'm nervous about the change in Superman editors, on account of really enjoying the Superman titles at the moment, lingering War Games issues, and my own fear of change.

As far as I'm concerned they could just cancel all of them except Action and I wouldn't miss them a bit.

This is where I come out of the closet as actually liking Benes' art and missing it on BoP, because he's the reason I've been picking up the main Supes title, though I haven't minded the writing, either.

And, err, I've been reading the Supes books for Lois, because after a while, Adventures just wasn't enough. Steph can disown me now.

Silly Plei, with the Lois-love.

Arrrgh! I didn't pick up my pulls yesterday b/c I had to get to the Batman movie on time, right? So I pick them up today, and they're sold out of BoP (which, admittedly, isn't on my pull list, but now I'm feeling the love again, and I need to read it, dang it, and I can't find a torrent anywhere).

This BoP was excellent. I'd call around to other shops in the area to see if someone still has a copy floating around.

And Lois is great. She's one of the strongest female characters in fiction.

I'm sure the big shop by my office does. Sadly, I am many miles away, at home. I'll have to scavenge for it tomorrow.

Brian Vaughn's the new Bendis. Pass it on.

Absolutely. I am such a Vaughan fanboy.

Ex Machina kicked ass!

Daredevil did too!

The Seduction of the Innocent section is pretty great.

Several times, actually.

Doesn't make it any less good, though.
