Book Club - 1500 books or burst

[andycapper]

Hey hey

I'm starting a club which keeps track of what you read for 1 yr.
I know i shoulda started this closer to Jan 1st, but i'm kinda lazy, didn't think of it and was busy reading comic books.
You can read as many books as ya want, just list the runs, tpb or single issues you read.
I'm counting classic and new books tpb included. So if an essential has reprinted 21 books, you have read 21 books.
Have fun!!!

I very much doubt if I'll make it to 1,500, but I'll do my best to read at least 1,000 comics this year (I have over 6,000 in my collection). I've been keeping track of what I've read since late in 2009. In 2010 I read 915. Last year, I only made it to 773.

Hmmm. Missed that one when I was in that range doing the Batman reviews. Anything important in it?

Only "The Player On The Other Side," one of the best Batman stories of the pre-Crisis '80s: Batman vs. The Wrath, a costumed hitman whose criminal parents were shot and killed by Jim Gordon the same night Joe Chill murdered the Waynes. Script by Mike W. Barr, art by Mike Golden at the peak of his powers. So, no, not much.

Cei-U!

Oh, is that all?

Looks like I'm on a mission to find this issue...

It's worth mentioning that the Batman Special was recently reprinted in a trade titled "Batman: The Wrath". The trade also includes Batman Confidential 13-16, which was a sequel to the special done by Tony Bedard and Rags Morales. In my opinion that arc was one of the best in the Batman Confidential series.

[Cei-U!]

Update posted.

[shaxper]

In my opinion that arc was one of the best in the Batman Confidential series.

Of course, it needs to be asked whether that statement actually means anything

Seriously though, is the sequel a "must read" or just pretty good? The only Bedard stuff I've ever read was his post-Unity Valiant stuff (not bad), but can he handle Batman as well as Mike W. Barr?
