As for Miller's other Batman project? Well, I just hope he re-reads Year One and DKR before he starts on that, because I'm more than un-impressed with All Star.

I will say that I think Lee's artwork in All-Star rocks. I like the 5 o'clock shadow they've given Bats, and it's quite reminiscient(sp?) of Miller's work on the original DKR.

What about Supes? I haven't read any sense the "For Tomorrow..." storyline.

I've heard people say that the Supes books are generally in decline, and that a lot of people are upset that John Byrne was allegedly only brought in as "filler" until a new creative team was found, especially since many people consider his work on Supes to be the best.

I picked up the first volume of that a while back. Kind of luke warm on it so far, and Azrael has always been kind of a joke to me.

So I take it you didn't like Miller's DK2? I think I'm one of 5 people that did, although I admit the art wasn't as gritty as DKR.

I've heard Dark Victory and The Long Halloween (appropriate for this weekend, no?) are very good.

I had that one a looong time ago. The artwork was....different, that's for sure. And the story was good.
Should check out The Killing Joke. That one has it all. Great story, some of the best art I've ever seen, especially the cover.

Brian Bendis is the man right now in Comics. He and Joeph Loeb are the guys to read.

All his earlier stuff was great, although I couldn't understand some of the things going on in Ronin.

I think Straczynski is also VERY good. His Supreme Power relaunch is going onto my pull list, as well as his Book of Lost Souls.

Also, it requires almost no knowledge of Bat continuity to understand it. If you have read 'Year One' you should be good to go.

"Now we're two."
Of course DKR was better, but DKSA was still an enjoyable elseworlds sequel. It wasn't a Batman graphic novel as much as it was a Future DC Universe graphic novel that based itself off of what happened in DKR. I only have two real problems with it:
1) Dick Grayson. What the hell was that all about? Ruined the finale.
2) Catgirl. Not THAT big of a deal, but Miller should have kept her as Robin.

Would have been nice if they had at least given some insight as to Grayson's deal.
Also, I liked Catgirl's character, but I agree she should have remained Robin.

Actually, Marvel has ventured into this. They released "40 Years of the Amazing Spider-Man" on Cd (or DVD?) that did quite well. There were some people griping that they put a watermark on the pages to protect against printing them, but my biggest would be that you don't get the same tactile feel as you do with an actual book.

you can see my dvd profiler page here and there is a user interface that you install on you're desktop to update the information. That list is from when you upload you're collection.
though, this 40 years of spiderman disc sounds interesting. do you have information on where to get it?
