I'm gonna go the other route and say this looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. I'd love a spin-off book for the character that Chris can write/draw after the Inc wrap-up.
That's covered in flashback in Killing Joke.
There's plenty, but most of it is out of print. Johns' reiterates enough of what happened to Hal pre-Rebirth, so I can't say there's any kind of absolute need to track down the earlier works, though...
Secret Origin should likely be read before Rage of the Red Lanterns, despite a few of the issues inside being published first.
Also, Aftermath isn't really necessary unless you're picking up all...
If you want every issue of each book, get the separate trades. If you just want the tie-ins and the main story, get the Batman trade plus the Joker book.
It is not a recommended read unless you're very familiar with the DCU in general of the time and the prior works of Grant Morrison. Chalk it up to a poor choice of starting point. Start somewhere...
Are you not familiar with Morrison's writing? "Linear" is not a way to describe it.
In my opinion, if you've already got the 'Last Son of Krypton' trade, all you really need is 'Escape from Bizarro World' and 'Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes' for the core of Johns' run. The...
Leviathan Strikes is featured in the pre-52 trade.
You could always do that, and if inclined to, go back later to fill yourself in. But honestly, I'm not sure how much weight the story will hold with out the relevance of the previous arcs. It's such...
I don't know, I'd compare it more to listening to The Beatles "Help!" album and getting to a song like "Yesterday", written and performed entirely by Paul McCartney.
Yes, he means Unbound. I watched it. It's decent, though a bit underwhelming. Not particularly high on the list of their animated films as being a favorite or anything, but I suppose it's worth a...
um... there's always been tension between the two. seeing them duke it out in a ridiculous and poorly written story does little to enhance ones enjoyment. The Red Hood arc from Batman and Robin...
I was starting to give props to Clayface last issue. But he seriously hasn't figured out his identity yet? What a dope. I thought the awesome awkward pause last issue was the moment of clarity.
I always felt it was obvious Brainiac was responsible. You explicitly see him shoot a rocket into the sun to induce a supernova. I always thought this was the most genius part of the story. The fact...
Technically, his first writing of the series can be found in the Dark Knight vs. White Knight trade, which contains a 3 issue arc he and Gleason did prior to the New 52 launch.
Plenty. Go here: http://www.comicspodcasts.com/
None of us have seen the film, so its tough to say which is better. Is the book good? Sure. Not as good as other event books like Infinite/Final Crisis or Blackest Night were but certainly worth a...
If you have no golden age Batman stuff yet, I say go for it. I have various trades with tales from that era. Always a fun read from a very different time. I'd also suggest picking up a Showcase...
Cool to see some folks here doing shows. I've been wanting to participate is something like this for awhile, so if anyone is looking for additional commentators, drop me a line!
If you look up "JLA Deluxe" on Amazon, it's the first four titles that pop up. Enjoy, sir.
I'd also recommend all of Morrison's arc prior to Inc (Black Glove: Deluxe, RIP, Batman & Robin 1-3, Time & the Batman, Return of Bruce Wayne) if you haven't already.
Like I said, Smith's run is followed by a 6 issue arc by Brad Meltzer, then Judd Winick wrote it for years. This is the post-resurrection Ollie. Good stuff. Check it out.
Quiver by Kevin Smith was an excellent relaunch of the title.
