So excited for this. Astro City is very good.

Best DC news in years.
My blog.
We struggled against apartheid in South Africa, supported by people the world over, because black people were being blamed and made to suffer for something we could do nothing about; our very skins. It is the same with sexual orientation. It is a given.

This has been promised for a while, so it's good to see Busiek back up to health to make it a reality.
Here's hoping for a little more work out of him in general.Check out my New Blog! Just a random assortment of ideas, thoughts, and reviews!

Yes!!! Finally!!! Kurt's best work on a monthly basis? It's been a long time.
How your health doing though Kurt?Keaton always said, "I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him." Well I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me are people that think Final Crisis is good.

I take you haven't read Astro City at all then? The series not like other 'new universe' type books. Each story arc focuses on a particular character or characters in Astro City; almost like an anthology. You can read any of the story arcs or single issues without knowing anything about what's going on and for all intents and purposes it is self-contained. There's no big conspiracy or ongoing narrative though as you read along, there are things in the background that regular readers will see and understand. Originally Posted by rasx

It wasn't a Vertigo book before. No reason to do so now. Originally Posted by Billy Batson
