Thank you for telling me! I'd love to revisit some of those. It'd be my first time to Tokushima, though! I can't wait until I have a good computer to play.

It would have been better if each decade has a different issue that at least captures the feeling of the decade in comics
But he did fine
I have no idea what is going on with Death Metal anymore. Which of the tie-in books am I supposed to be reading? I just checked out Death Metal Trinity Crisis and it looks like it was part of the core event story so im about to read it. Were there any of the others?
Is it just me or does Death Metal feel like an after thought now for DC? At least compared to the original Metal event.
I dont even see people talking about it on Twitter anymore lol. Even Snyder seems more interested in his upcoming creator owned stuff than hyping up Death Metal.

They've added photogrammetry on those cities, so I should be able to find your favourite old bars, if you'd like.
I definitely agree with that. He would've been perfect for the 90's issue, but seeing different styles per decade would've been great
It'd be pretty tough to find Deathmatch in Hell in Shinjuku.
I'm happy just to see whatever shots you take. Inokashira Park in Kichijoji is right next to where I used to live once, so that'd be cool to see. One of my favorite areas.
Well you see Perpetua the big bad has transformed the Multiverse under her control with Batman who LMAOs as her dragon
Also Batman who laugh was killed but he saw that coming so he put his brain in the body of bruce Wayne doctor Manhattan and.........
At least they're not interrupting books so i can ignore the event and read the books i like
Death Metal i mean

It'll be some fuzzy blob, but I'll find it!
I'm looking at that area in Google maps right now, and there are so many weird funky places to visit just in those streets. I gotta get out there when the world's fixed.
Just started reading Undead Unluck.
This is some really dumb, battle shonen.
But its just what I need about now.
And its probably still not as dumb as Death Metal.

Well, it'd be cool to see Shinjuku, too. I lived in two places around there.
Comics should be dumb. Snyder not plotting his ridiculousness in any really interesting way is the problem. Check out WW: Dead Earth for a good crazy alternate DC.
as the great jeff gerstmann of giant bomb has said, there's DUMB and then there's dumb.
Dead Earth is Dark Metal but good imo
Like i clapped when Thor beat up Gorr with two hammers instead of one one he got from future thor who became odin
Or when Surfer in Thanos wins fights with the hammer
Or on dc Wonder Woman in dead earth beating people with Superman spine
Green lantern beating death with power of life and good vibes
Dumb is fun
Batman Who Laughs laughs his way in
Batman who laughs mutilating and torturing Mario would be kinda funny
Go all out, traumatize the fucking kids
I'd take a 5x stupider Death Metal if it was just fun to read. The tie-ins and anthologies is where my hope for fun actually rests because I can picture writers coming in and being given something real silly to work with for five pages having a pretty good time.
edit: Not to say there aren't moments in the main series, but overall it doesn't seem like he's having as good a time in his own crazy world as he should be having.
That was part of his plan as well
He somehow takes over Kirby with dark metal and transform into Angry American kirby that only eats part of body parts so the enemy will bleed out from missing limbs while still taking powers
Ends with Batman somehow eating everyone and becoming stronger than the Hand boss
I don't know. Zdarsky's Howard is fantastic, and that definitely crosses the line into dumb beyond dumb. Some stuff is just lame.
It probably has more to do with intent. A lot of writers understand that they're writing comic books, and they kind of embrace the absurdity that comes along with it. So it ends up being pretty fun. I like a lot of current comics.
I just finished up Fraction/Brubaker/Aja Immortal Iron Fist, and I'm about 10 issues into Morrison/Case Doom Patrol. The Moisseiur Mollah issue is next!
Remnant From The Ashes is 50% off on PS4, as the "deal of the week". Really fun Souls-like thats pretty different than all the others. Just wish I had more time to sink into it.
The wigs that Stephen Amell wears in the flashbacks on Arrow continue to look more and more ridiculous as he ages with each season. Season 1 he could actually pull off looking younger in the flashbacks, but by season 3 he looks like a dude in his late 30s trying to pull off the hipster college kid look lol.

You clearly are reading better comics than me. Doom Patrol speaks for itself, but I really love that Iron Fist run as well.
WWH still sucks, but hey at least it has some Gary Frank and JRJr art! 🤷♂️
Read "Riot at Xavier's" again tonight. Seems interesting given real world events of the past few months.
Also, the sequence of Beast chasing down suicide-bombing Glob Herman is great. I think that was the last time Hank did anything physically heroic. The way Potato-Man portrays the animalistic movement is so good.

tbh this makes me wish it really was glob in yesterday's new x-factor.Read "Riot at Xavier's" again tonight. Seems interesting given real world events of the past few months.

also. MORRISON'S X-MEN IS SO FUCKING GOOD.
So last night I finally completed the Batman countdown to post crisis!
Started with they first Englehart issue in Tec and read 236 issues to make it to post crisis
Moench's run isn't as strong as Conways but I'd still say it was a good read. He clearly had no interest or knew what to do with Vicky Vale. The Alfred daughter love interest dabbling was weird but the core thread of Nocturna turned out pretty well. I think it's worth DC doing a trade of it all
Some observations
- So I never knew Post Crisis didn't kick in right after the event. Like the red skies and hells breaking loose for 3-4 issues. Then it stops and it's over. And the books went for another 9 issues or so before the reboot happened. Not how I expected it to go
- It's also funny how indifferent people were to this red sky and crazy rain and Stuff. They generally shrugged it off as weird for an issue or two before kinda taking it seriously...sort of. Meanwhile if I saw that I'd shut everything down to figure out what's up
- Batman 400 is Nightfall all in one issue! Since this whole Batman reading excursion started of reading all these earlier Batman issues before I started getting into comics and Batman with nightfall its wild the last issue before the reboot basically does the whole Nightfall template. Ras breaks all the inmates out of arkham and blackgate. Recruits them to take all Batman's friends. And then tries to recruit Batman. When that fails Batman goes up against everyone and then eventually Ras in this one super sized issue with a ton of different artists. Pretty cool stuff
- In 1986: DC Wrapped up Crisis of Infinite Earths, Released The Dark Knight Returns and Started publishing Watchmen all in the same year. What a wild time for them
So now I begin the countdown to Nightfall. The arc I first read getting into Batman. Ive read spots of stuff leading up to it years later but never a comprehensive run. I originally thought of just doing Batman and Detective Comics up to it. Which is 188 issues. But Im thinking of pulling in all the various other family books this time. Some I've read up to nightfall others I hadn't.
So first I'm re-reading Crisis
Then I've got this as my Batman reading path, trying to keep things moving in the same years
Countdown to Knightfall ('86-'93) : Total Comics 280
Batman : 96 issues
Tec: 92 issues
Shadow of the Bat: 15 issues
Legend of the Dark Knight: 58 issues
Robin: the 3 minis : 15 issues
Batman: Sword of Azrael : 4 issues
I still have this crazy idea to make it all the way to at least the end of Morrison's run. Maybe up to current. We'll see how this goes

Sorry to say it was a bit of a bust Aizō.
Only this rough area of Tokyo was 3D mapped:
Inokashira Park fell out of that, so it was just this crap:
Golden Gai was modeled, but in real low detail:
Then it crashed.
I mean, all they need now are on-goings that are actually worth reading.
I like Far Sector and Hellblazer.
