Tim's evaluation is disappointing, cynical and dismissive.

What's more disappointing is the report that he's reacted to the reaction in this thread with equally poor attitude. His perspective...

"Life's complicated. Sometimes the decisions you make are by your own choice. Sometimes they aren't. Bad things happen. But you don't have to let that define you."

I'd have my cake and eat it, too (although DC does tend to do a lot more exclusive contracts than Marvel does, so it'd probably be a little difficult). I don't see a conflict in wanting to write...

Consider DC reboots every decade or so, I think any such speculation is unnecessary. This is not Heroes Reborn.

The Return of Barry Allen is the definitive Wally West story, and crystallized Mark Waid's whole run with the character. It's essential reading.

I love that there's a Mimic appreciation thread. I only just discovered him in the pages of Essential Classic X-Men Vol. 2, and believed until I researched it that he and Morph were one and the same...

Why isn't Superboy-Prime an option?!?

Kesel's Superboy (though I love Johns' idea). I want that whole run reprinted. Maybe at some point it will be, Showcase style.

I don't think Miller hates Dick Grayson or anything. He just has the same problem reconciling the idea of Robin with the idea of Batman that many creators have outside of the comics mainstream. All...

I'll be following your blog from now on...

I recently put a whole slew of comics into order, which was an incredibly rewarding experience. Going through your own collection is a good way to remember how that collection came together in the...

Green Arrow is the version of Iron Man who never went mainstream, even when he did. He's the version of Iron Man with all the self-righteousness but without the ego.

I like DC because it has a good understanding about its characters. It has flashy origins, but the stories don't end there. DC stories are like meditations. They do adventure, too, but they don't...

Definitely something I'm interested in.

I'm tossing another vote at Batman #666, just streamlined Morrison at its finest, like the recent Action Comics #9.

I read Tony Daniel's Batman pretty regularly before the Detective reboot. I don't think he's gotten used to the fact that his featured position was assumed by Scott Snyder.

I think the whole series overstayed its welcome by several years. But once it became clear even to Waid that there wasn't that many more places to go with the way he'd been writing it, I guess he...

Morrison has been writing that blend of Superman and Clark Kent, especially in the early issues. Most writers only concentrate on Superman. The thing I loved about the 1990s Superman writers is...

Tony Bedard is already in the GL fold. He practically wrote the Blue Lanterns comic in The Great Ten. If it happened, he'd be my nominee for writer.

I like it as is. Jason's buddies are helping keep the focus. Roy and Kori are recontextualizing him as an outlaw, keeping him away from the ambiguity/outright villainy that he's been known for...

Just imagine Donna in her own ongoing series, even if it had to be called Wonder Girl...

It's a weird kind of crossover, and fairly refreshing as Batman crossovers go, where you don't actually have to read everything to know what's going on.

I voted Dan Abnett/Andy Lanning, mostly on the strength of recently discovering the brilliance that is Abnett's Conspiracy. I would also not mind Fred Van Lente.

Knightfall was a hugely significant story, influencing both Grant Morrison and Scott Snyder's later, similar epic trials for Batman. To be a fan of this franchise, you need to have read it. No...

A lot of "smart characters" tend to act stupid because the writer is not actually smart enough to figure out how a smart person would behave, or assumes the readers won't be able to, either. And...

It became a big deal because it was probably the first Marvel death since Bucky to affect the course of a character's development. Thankfully, Gwen was never revived as a Russian secret agent. (Or...
