Its the best Harley has been written in years.
Or at least the last time Dini wrote her.
Emma looks good in anything.
The last couple pages of Harleen might be one of the GOAT comic book endings. I found the "I'm dreaming" sequences to be pretty cliche and boring throughout the book, but the payoff at the end, where he flips it around, with the funhouse mirrors and the full moon and the melancholy narrative boxes... like, damn.
I read it via Hoopla and the hardcover is kind of on my radar now. Feels like something I'd want to revisit.

Batman White Knight about to start showing up on the syllabus for business courses.
Dial H ended strong. Can't fucking believe Humphries is the same guy who wrote those terrible GotG comics over at Marvel. He's done a total 180 since coming to DC and I really want to read more from him. Quinones was a powerhouse on art with this series, he can mimic anyone's art style.
Yup. And the current JL issues take place some vague amount of time in the past.
edit: And our other comics of the moment aren't taking place on JL#39's Doom Earth without the JLs or anything.
Yea hit the time skip myself last night in the Omni. Gonna read the issues right before (51-55) off CMX as I am curious even if fill-in gap by a diff team.
I did the same earlier in the Omni as issues 20-25 gap were not Bendis, but he does reference the story in the issues after. Pretty fun story too as it is the trial where Murdock had to somehow prosecute DD and still keep his identity secret.
Oh woah, I didnt even notice there was a gap in issues lol. Did you notice the art changing in that fight with the Kingpin? Those were all the old famous DD artists, like John Romita and Klaus Janson apparently. Wish they were given a better chance to show off their talents lol.
It was a neat trick that I havent seen done before.
I dont read books written by round earthers
Aside from what's been mentioned,
Guardians of the Galaxy by Ewing
Immortal Hulk
Marauders
Scott Snyder's Justice League was pretty great, though the ending could've been better
Batman by Tynion
Batman/Superman by Joshua Williamson
Thor by Cates
Yeah.
I fucking LOVE Marauders, if that means anything
Next to Jeanette and Porcelain, Strix is easily my favorite Gail Simone original.
Yea I was kind of disappointed by it. I mean it is such a cool idea, but instead of shaping the fight around each artist's strength, they just all kind of drew DD punching Fisk. Kind of wished it was more dynamic, but really cool idea to get all the old artists in for a mini celebration.
And there is a trade on CMX under Marvel Knights Daredevil. It collects all the gap issues during Bendis' run and some other minis that were written by Bendis but not collected(Daredevil Ninja and another I forget). $20 tho. I only read the 20-25 story so far. Takes place right before that Silke guy is introduced early in the Omni.
Okay, but first we need Connor Hawke to even be back in continuity. Then we need to even come up with a reason for Roy and Connor to be on the same team. Two arrow guys. Yay.
there's an issue of Bendis (or at least in that era) where I believe he's talking to Echo on a playground and it has literally the worst art I have ever seen in a big 2 comic. I mean I'm pretty sure there was some major screw-up and they needed the issue ready in like 2 days.
Just checked out the issues on CMX. I am interested in the Matt Vs. DD trial issues. Im not a big David Mack fan, but I am interested in finding out who Echo is, so I might check that one out.
Man, what the hell! I don't get how this was fucked up so badly. Yeah, it'll read just fine later when it's all out but I don't think that's a good excuse for doing stuff like this. It started to drag a little but I really enjoyed the run overall and this is a bummer.
If they do a Snyder JLA omnibus I hope to hell Death Metal gets put in.
I think I want to read something new and exciting but there's a ton of those massive, 16+ issue collections in my backlog at the moment and I don't want to buy anything until I've gone through them all even though I don't have the energy to do it and it's been like a year of this.
on volume 2 of more than meets the eye
i just... what the fuck am i reading guys
why is this so good and sad

The last time we heard about the imprint it was supposed to launch May 2019 IIRC,I guess Johns is still planning on doing that Killzone imprint that he had on his website. Last time I looked at it, it said coming 2019. Just looked at it a minute ago and it says 2020. I figured it was just abandoned and forgotten about.
Yea Echo was introduced right between Smith and Bendis in a David Mack written story.
Pretty forgettable, though the idea is sound. He's blind, she's deaf. She also had trained for years and is secretly hunting DD for reasons you discover over the issues. Variation of Elektra but not as good. Not sure what they do for her return in the issues before the year gap.

Yeah. Still know literally nothing about it. But the fact that the release got updated on the site means they at least still have an intention of doing it.
Yo. Nobody mentioned this book:

I blame Coates talking about it over a year and a half before it was meant to happen. Nothing was official and it fell apart lol
He got too busy with a new novel I think and it just so happened the X Office stupidity was going on.
bartel was talking a bit oon twitter just recently about how she gets to pick and choose w/e work she wants. i bet she could do a storm book if she wanted. just takes a phone call. but why do a monthly when you can do covers and art and shit and probably make quite a bit more?
OP
OP
Yeah she just does interiors here and there. Plus her own image book. She clearly likes doing covers and art pieces more than interiors.
oh, this is that piece Jen Bartel teased a while back as she was working on it on her tablet. Lovely.
Glorious
I'm gonna say there's a bit of weird anatomy happening around her right knee. Something doesn't look quite right.
