Latest things I've read:

World Without a Superman - Surprisingly good given Superman's absence. It seems Superman is more trouble to Luthor dead than alive!

Return of Superman - Oh my goodness this book just kept getting better and better. Trying to figure out how Superman would come back, and then which of the Supermen is the real one, full of twists and turns. And Steel - what a great character!

Superman: Red Son - One of the best TPBs I've ever read. For real. If you haven't read this book, go out and get it now. Having Superman land in Russia instead of America was just fertile ground for a great story. Superman's new heritage changes the dynamic of every staple character in a fresh, new way - especially Batman - oh man, that was a Batman fan's wet dream. A dystopian masterpiece. READ IT.

Batman: A Dark Victory - A great follow-up to Long Halloween, though perhaps not quite as great. But a great mystery story with as many twists and turns as its predecessor. I loved the way they introduced Robin too - the dynamic between the two characters worked really well. I think Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale are shaping up to be my favourite team.

Books I'll probably get next: Hush Vol. 2, Kingdom Come, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Batman/Dracula: Red Rain, and DC: The New Frontier.

Does anyone here think Batman: Year 100 will come out in TPB? I really want to read them, but they're too expensive on their own...

And Free Comic Book Day on my birthday - how sweet is that? Saturday 6 May, peoples...
