What Are You Reading?

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

I haven't read TDKR, but I watched the 2-part animated movie adaptation and really liked it.

I find it incredibly funny how Frank Miller holds the unique distinction of writing one of the best and most iconic Batman stories of all time, and one of the worst and most notoriously terrible Batman stories of all time.

Also, on the subject of animated adaptations, while I loved Justice League: The New Frontier, I remember that Bruce Timm said in an interview that he regretted having to cut so much out of it and wished that he could've made it two parts long. So, I really want to read the original GN sometime. I slso want to read Kingdom Come and WWIII, and too many othet famous JL story-lines to name.

Also, for future reference, can anyone recommend me some good comic books with the Jaime Reyes incarnation of Blue Beetle, and/or also some good stuff with Booster Gold in it?

i remember timm saying that about new frontier. i've only seen it on cn and loved it. i wonder if they edited out any of the movie for tv.

edit: i hear geoff johns run on booster gold is good.

I believe this might be the best place to start with Jaime Reyes' Blue Beetle since it is his first appearance. The original series is pretty good as a whole, IIRC.

So, I just noticed that the scene in The Dark Knight where Batman meets with Gordon and Dent on a rooftop was a tribute to a very similar scene from The Long Halloween.

...i need to reread the long halloween.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Out of curiosity, is Ed Brubaker's run on Iron Fist any good? I saw volumes 1-3 on sale for $7 each at the book store the other day.

[gunswordfist]

YES!

I didn't go through the whole run, but I really like what I've read of it.

[gunswordfist]

those immortal ironfist comics are what made me a danny rand fan and have two of my top 10/5 favorite comic book teams, both with iron fist as the star member. i nominated it in the greatest comic book ever tournament for a reason.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Alright, I'll check those out next, while I look for new copies of KnightQuest and KnightSend.

[gunswordfist]

good. on that note, did you finish knightfall?

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Yes, if you mean just volume 1 of the trilogy.

[gunswordfist]

i meant the whole thing, lol

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Then that question is a bit redundant since you posted it JUST after I said that I'm looking for copies of the other two volumes, which insinuates that I haven't read them yet.
