pickI was really confused when I started this series; there is book one, then two prequels. And book one ends on a huge cliff hanger. But it seems that book 2 is in the works. I can imagine staying the series and having to wait 9 years for a proper sequel. I'm enjoying the series. The "alternative" style is really well done. I'll probably read Batman Year 100 while I wait
so-soAlright, OK. This has proven that Bruce Wayne did create a disguise that can be worn by a successor.
This wasn't terrible, and I must admit that grown-up Dick Grayson makes a great Batman. He knows how to be the Knight that Gotham City still needs, and he does the job well.
The following is a ramble on how I felt about a new character (any character) taking on the Bat-Suit. Continue reading at your own risk 😂🤔...😉.👇
Had this awhile. Never read because I hadn't realized that in this storyline, Bruce Wayne has been killed and Robin has taken on the Bat suit.
Really should stop buying just because “Batman“ is in the title 😂 (without reading what the book is about)!
While I never before tested the theory, I believe it really doesn't matter to me who's behind the mask...so long as the storyline is focused on Batman. I just understand the original best. 👇
so-soI think they call that surrealist? Experimental. Tidbits of sci-fi and horror but also much searching for family/identity. Vintage adventure story/comic art style, largely set in previous decades, starting with the '60s. Lots of rambling introspection. Not my vibe.
pickEverything from the atmospheric color palette to the figuration to the truly bizarre final days of Stalin are so masterfully crafted here. Love the absurdity that reality delivers- just wish something like this would befall the current leadership… shouldn‘t be too much to ask- peace!
pickAn amazing, amusing biography in comics format about one of the most important military leaders in the American Revolution, Baron von Steuben, a flamboyant homosexual who spoke no English, yet took charge of a disorganized Continental army, led them to victory, and wrote a guidebook for training American soldiers that remained in use for a century. #Queer #LGBTQ #GraphicNonfiction
Look at Catherine (the Great) shooting daggers at her husband 😆
“Okay, but how can we call a dead guy from the 1700s gay? Even if he was buried in sequins, is that appropriate? Is it accurate?”
I like that the issue of terminology is discussed in this biography.
In Europe and in America, von Steuben‘s proclivities were well-known: his addiction to the finer things in life. His flair for style. The annoying, untrained greyhound that rarely left his side. His many suspected lovers, including Prussian royalty. And just the overall sense of “extra” that permeated every fibre of his being.
