Read a lot of comics yesterday, by the way.

Superman All-Stars #1 & 2, The Dark Knight Returns, Hush: Vol. 1, and Batman: Gothic to be exact.

Dark Knight Returns was "Holy Crap!" kind of excitement for me. I got so excited and jittery in front of all of my friends that it was embarrassing. A very fanboy moment. I just couldn't believe what was happening...

Hush was a little strange, but very brave nonetheless. Can somebody explain the Oracle to me? Is it a computer in Batman's suit? I loved how Loeb took a lame villain like Killer Croc, and made him cool.

Gothic was very, very dark, and I loved it.

The Superman All-Stars series is very fun and very adventurous. I hope it continues to be this good.

Oracle is Barbara Gordon on a communicator. She was shot and crippled by Joker (during the No Man's Land arc, I think), so now she fights crime by being Batman's eyes and ears in the computer world and assists in coordinating people for backup, etc. She's also in charge of the Birds of Prey group.

Glad you enjoyed DKR. It's absolutely my fav of all time, and is responsible for getting me into comics in the first place. I've always felt that Miller just knew how Bats spoke and would act, and his interpretation has always been definitive for me.

Gothic...meh. Dark, brutal, etc. Slightly above average, IMO.
