I thought Kenneth Rocafort was doing a variant of this? He posted what looked like a cover on his IG but never confirmed anything...
Depends on how you feel about an "event" book. I doubt much will change on any sort of scale for DC. However it is Snyder and it will be well written and Capullo is on art so it will look amazing so I am in for the main series but that is about it.
After a long hiatus from comics, this is the first new thing I picked up. Kind of hate to admit how much I enjoyed it. For all of his faults, Snyder is trying to repair things, it seems, and bring some uniformity to DC. Hope it's not too little too late.
Can’t wait for the rest.
I just don't get the Snyder love. This was okay I guess but Ive never been wowed by anything from Snyder.
Have you tried wytches or his Detective Comics arc called Black Mirror? Those are the two best Snyder books imo.
I haven't read Black Mirror. It's good?
Yeah... I need to read his Batman stuff. I have yet to read anything by him that blew me away. I did enjoy A. D. After Death he did with Jeff Lemire.
Imo Black Mirror eventhough it is short it is one of the best "Detective" stories. It is less about powers and cistumed criminals and more about the mystery.
Also if you have never read The Wake it is worth it for the art alone but also has a good story.
I mean, yeah, from what I've read of Snyder, he's done a good job at keeping things tied together. Because of this, I wouldn't call him a bad writer but, to me his work is boring. I know this opinion is tied to whatever your philosophy is as a reader (I tend to value characterization over overarching story) but to me, Snyder's work has always felt like reading a textbook. He's great at delivering information and creating situations but consistently fails at establishing both character to reader and character to character relationships. With Snyder, I don't feel a connection to his characters nor do I buy into the relationships among the cast. Instead, his work comes off feeling bland. With that said, I'm well aware this isn't an objective breakdown of his work, my views obviously being influenced by what I personally value in comics. Still, because I'd much rather be on the Snyder train than be confused by its popularity, I'll try to read Black Mirror and After Death in hopes that they win me over.
So I really enjoyed this eventhough it is crazy and over the top. Already starting to address the lack of change from Doomsday Clock. Add great art and this was a fun read but it did take two times through to understand.
Practically perfect in every way! Loved it so damn much. Cannot wait for more!
Really enjoyed this.
Not sure why they are doing this book. I get that Batman who Laughs is a fad right now so wanting to sell some books before that fad ends. The art is great but that's about the only thing good about this book. I really feel this is a book the creative team just wanted to do for themselves and not readers.
I have yet to read this... But I hope artist and writers do it for themselves. Fan service is no fun.
That makes sense. If they care more about it themselves then they may do better. I guess I will see how it goes.
But I understand your views. Art for inly arts sake is also no fun... It's a balancing act. Having a good editorial department helps.
