I bit the bullet and bought Flash #750, and found it underwhelming. The Captain Cold story and the Jay story were the only parts I really enjoyed. The flash forward epilogue was once again meta-commentary about DC's timeline, and at this point I just want them to fix it now or ignore it, all the constant wink wink nods nods are becoming grating. I'll admit my annoyance is probably amplified by me still not liking Wally in that chair. For a celebration issue it was especially lacking, there was only Barry, Jay and Wally getting any significant focus. Where's the other flash family? Having some more short stories for Max, Jesse, Bart, Avery, Wallace etc would be nice, but alas.
Someone who was banned awhile back was getting passwords from other site's data breaches and was trying them all on ResetEra to see if anyone was still using them. They were able to get a few, and someone was reporting that there was a massive data breach here on Twitter.
They are still working on it, but the site wasnt breached. You just might want to change your password if its one youve used on other sites, and active the 2 factor authentication just in case.

I'm fairly certain all the Flash legacy stuff is returning but it's just taking 1000 years to happen.
Reading the Earthworm Jim guy's Twitter over the SGM thing is a trip.
He also went on a whole thing blaming Jim Lee, saying he threatened to take away the Murphyverse, and Jim's all "huh?"

I was looking at picking up those books. I'll wait for the box set, now.
I almost did but I held back. I kind of assumed it was already that size. Guess I'm gonna wait.
Damn, everyone jumping on Murphy like
I love it.
Not really. ECCC was just being stubborn and now they're finally seeing reason.
Not so fast!

Black Label needs the wider books because of the actual comic format.
Those numbers will go up, though. Last week there were like 6 cases in the US, now we're up over 150.

Yeah. It was 40ish when I checked Wednesday, 85 yesterday and now at 163
frankly, jim lee -should- have known about it and -should- have been the one getting his team the fuck away from the guy. but then again, he should know better than giving sgm a fucking line, too, and yet it became his first action as solo publisher.
I'm not hacked. I can prove it; my art student self would willingly buy a copy of Batman Damned just to stare at the art.

I'm travelling overseas for work in a month, then flying back a month and a half after that, so hopefully international travel doesn't completely shut down in that time.
He's a fucking piece of human garbage, but it's not entirely his fault. A single sneeze can spread a sickness to like 60 people, so there's only so much you can do. This thing is going to get worse before it gets better.
I sure wouldn't risk it.

lol. lol. That fence seat is not looking that stable. Wonder what Lee thinks about "Sean flat out told me".
"Alt-Right Prick Claims Sean Gordon Murphy Blamed SJWs for Canceling Their Collaboration"
Some Marvel editor: Can you please do a small story that's not insanely epic and deals with multiple realities and timeline and makes you feel like a big brained Brett afterwords?
Hickman:
I bet Hickman comes out looking like Charlie when he found out there was no HR once he's done with a run.
I saw Esquivel reply to that and was like what... you should have stayed out of this. Fool.

I hope this is the right thread for this,but I recently decided that I want to take my love for Batman to the next level- and to finally read the comics!

The Dark Knight Returns
Year One
The Man Who Laughs
Haunted Knight
The Long Halloween
Dark Victory
Black Mirror
Court of Owls
City of Owls
Death of the Family
Zero Year- Secret City
Zero Year- Dark City
Graveyard Shift
Endgame
Whatever Happened to Caped Crusader (love Gaiman's work so had to get it)
Ego
Earth one VOL1
Earth one VOL2
Joker
The Killing Joke
Hush
Arkham Asylum
Dark Nights Metal
The Batman Who Laughs
Death in The Family
Under the Red Hood
Anything I missed? Would love to hear more recommendations from you,I will say that I think I made quite the research in a short time and I especially looking for the more darker stories of the character.
*Do note that I am not a comic reader,just looking for Batman stuff.

Here are my thoughts on today's thing. This is a bad, bad place for DC to be in, especially with Jim Lee taking over. We're getting to see whether DC chooses to support women and the LGBT+ community or the alt-right community, unfolding day to day.
Far Sector writer Jemisin, for those who aren't familiar, has zero fucking tolerance for alt-right shitheadery. If she knows about what's going on, which given her very online nature is all but certain, I can't imagine her wanting to stick things out at DC. I'd say if she departs then that means DC is siding with SGM on the matter. I'd expect Jemisin to be the canary in this regard.

You got all the major ones but I'd also recommend Batman: Year 100 and Batman Rebirth (Tom King's recent run that ran for 80-ish issues). Oh yeah and Gotham by Gaslight and The Doom That Came To Gotham.
Should we really recommend that though? Does this user understand the complexities of the 3-act structure?Batman: White Knight (2017-2018) - Comics by comiXology

I actually almost bought it as well since I was intrigued by the book's idea,but then did a little research and realized this is part of a mini series so I bailed out,exactly because of the reason that I'm an amateur when it comes to comics.
I will check Gotham by Gaslight though.
Another ones I had my eye on:
Birth of the Demon (pretty expensive so I passed on it for now)
Batman RIP
Batman and Son
Would love to hear your opinion good people.
Despite how my post was worded. This book is actually not good despite the premise seeming interesting. Don't buy this book at all.
It was a stand alone story, but has currently got a sequel running and apparently is going to be expanded to have a line of comics based on it by other creators.
Also the author was trying to make an audience from the alt-right Comicgator crowd, and is now attempting to flip flop and present himself as the LGBTQ's greatest ally, as seen in the last few pages.
The rec was a gag.
I'd avoid RIP and Batman and Son unless you're planning to read Grant Morrison's entire run. They're both parts of his big story. I can't even imagine reading RIP without that context lol.
For what it's worth I would absolutely recommend Morrison's entire run, but definitely not as a starting point.
Grant Morrison's Batman run is lengthy and is the best Batman run and some of the best superhero comics PERIOD. You will definitely need to searchfor a reading order to know what books to grab and what order to read them though
