...Because we have some reading to do. Now I'm not the most avid comic book reader as there are titles that slip right under my radar, but the ones that I have grabbed onto for the ride are enjoyable and keep me looking to the next one the day after it was released. Which can make for a long month if you're not careful to keep the excitement down a bit. There are some comics that I would like to give a shout out to and that would be Batman Incorporated and Batman and Robin. Batman is doing something good to me and I hope that they continue to do so. With Batman Inc., it is a nice refreshing breeze that Bruce Wayne has been giving once he realized that he cannot be the only Batman in a world filled with crazies and I'm always looking forward to seeing what new place that Bruce will be visiting next in the search for Bats continue.
Batman and Robin quickly became a favorite of mine, due to something most don't know, Dick Grayson is my favorite DC character of all time. From being the first Robin to Nightwing and now completing his transformation to the Batman, I'm all kinds of excited to follow him. Not just in Batman and Robin, but also in the Batman on going series (but that is chat for another blog). We've all seen how Bruce takes to being a mentor to the generations of Robin, but with Grayson taking on Damian, it makes for a formula that mixes well in the DC Universe. Not to mention that the writers are doing a pretty good job at keeping with the personalities of the heroes as well as the circus type theme for the ex-circus star, Grayson. Now to move away from the DC Universe a bit and see a favorite comic of mine from the mind of John Layman, CHEW. It had me from "Hello" as the first issue was sweet and continues to do so. I've also had the chance to meet and talk with John Layman at the comic conventions and to hear the ideas that are planned for the upcoming covers just gets me even more excited for it outside of the interior pages. Then there is the newly released CHEW Script Book that is on shelves and soon to be in my hand. I've started to look past the artwork a bit and at the writing that is there. It started with the Director's Cut to Green Lantern's Blackest Night and then there were some extras in the back of Nemesis that I enjoyed as I am a fan of how comics are being made from script to print. Now that CHEW has a script book, I'm all over it. If you're a comic book writer or just like to see another step in the comic series, you should be all over it as well.
Finally, Venom #1. By finally, I mean this is the last thing that I'm talking about here and its out! The new take with old characters is something that excites me and it is not different from Venom. With a new host to the symbiote, I like that the military is trying to make it (symbiote) do the good that they believe they can accomplish. I'm also a fan of things getting messed up in a way that all hell break's loose. That's what I'm looking forward to in Venom. I mean, how long do you think Flash Thompson can go being the hero for his country to wanting a taste of Spider-Man's brains?
It is all just a matter of time before he loses it and it will be good times. For me at least.
