The preview looks good, but did they use the term "beta-testing" in the 1930's? I honestly don't know, but it sounds more like a term invented since the computer revolution.

I was on the fence initially with this one, but this interview sold me! Sounds like a fun project with a creative team who are truly passionate about the work they put in.

It does sound a little anachronistic, but I looked into it and I guess IBM used such terms as early as the 30's.

I'm not entirely sure why you'd have to chose one or the other.
You can have more than one story with great architecture.

I'm quite interested in this, waiting for reviews but will probably buy it. Art is amazing and it sounds like something different and thoughtful.

The art in this really is beautiful. And the story sounds really fascinating. People should give it a try. I know I will.

Exactly my thoughts. I'll be checking out this one, and I'll try to find Mr. X in TPB whenever it's available. Originally Posted by thwhtGuardian

I am sure getting this! I am a fan of the original 1930's Batman and the designs looks sensational!

I'm looking forward to this. I have it pre-ordered on Amazon. I loved Dave Taylor's work back in the 90s when he was on SotB, it'll be great to see some new Bat stuff from him. This book seems to have an interesting concept too.
Top 5 favorite current books (in no particular order): Batman Inc., Batman, Batman and Robin, Daredevil, Superior Spider-Man
