So @kellythompson.bsky.social Birds of Prey run is ending at #28. NGL I'm gonna miss this book a lot. It was great fun & always a bright light in my day when I got to read it. But, I think I will miss Big Barda & Small Bat most of all. The dynamic duo we never knew we needed.😞

Never been a more timely, or appropriate point to rewatch The Drumhead episode from Star Trek TNG.

I don't understand why there's not more people talking about it(at least in my circles), because it's an incredible read every month. I actually can't wait to get this in trade(hopefully hardcover DC!) so I can recommend or loan it to friends.

Scott G @thegrayson.bsky.social · 24d

It's insane how good this book is. @markwaid.bsky.social @chrissamnee.bsky.social @matlopes.bsky.social are doing incredible work here & my only gripe is that there's only 1 issue left. So if it's not too much trouble @dc.com could we possibly get a Yr 2 or an ongoing to follow this? 🙏

Scott G @thegrayson.bsky.social · 25d

*mild spoilers* Yes, Spider-Boy is in this issue and yes, he is still fucking annoying.

Scott G @thegrayson.bsky.social · 25d

I am beginning to believe that I am somehow living in an alternate universe, because this issue of Amazing Spider-Man was bloody good comics.

Like really good. WTF is going on??!!

If you make the Court Gotham high society's reaction to Batman's whole "you've eaten well" speech in Year One, and they grow from there till now, without him knowing, then I think that could work.

But yeah Hush is a one trick pony.

Damian Wayne Batman 666 Funko.

Yeah, I need it.

Think I'm gonna skip the Marvel issue of Batman/Deadpool, mostly because it's written by Zeb Wells.

LOL. Only people that'll be upset by this are the Nazis......who will claim that they're not Nazis, but will instead claim that it somehow ruins Cap or Diana.

Scott G @thegrayson.bsky.social · 27d

Wouldn't be comics if someone didn't find a nonsensical reason to be "outraged" by something.

True. I'm just continually amazed that people will fall for this type of thing and be left with a book that's ultimately not gonna have any worth other than being the subject of an article on CBR at some point in the next five years.

Scott G @thegrayson.bsky.social · Sep 12

Watters is a really good writer, Dark Patterns is evidence enough of that, but it just feels like he's treading water on this book. There's glimpses of good stuff, the annual was great, as is everything with Maggie Sawyer. But everything else has been just....there.

Scott G @thegrayson.bsky.social · Sep 12

12 issues in, & Nightwing has done not a lot and the big bad has done not a lot either. It's a very well written nothing though, I'll give it that.

Nightwing #130 PREVIEW!

Scott G @thegrayson.bsky.social · Sep 12

Strange one. The controversy is attached to the creator more than anything, while the book itself is pretty much a nothing burger of an issue. So you'd be overpaying for what exactly?

Mine came yesterday. First shirt I've bought in five years, because it's a masterpiece.

Scott G @thegrayson.bsky.social · Sep 11

Just watched it for the 5th? time. And for me, it's now firmly in that category of movies that I can rewatch over and over till my heart's content.

I've not listened to it yet, but I've got a ton of time for Rucka. Met him a few times and he's a good dude.

Scott G @thegrayson.bsky.social · Sep 11

I hadn't heard of her either until the initial announcement and decided to follow her to get a feeling for what the book would be like. Let's just say I started to get a not too pleasant picture of what we might've been in for.

And I'm stressing that it was to do with the writing, not the person.

They should just Elseworlds it, because the only connection from that story to the main Bat continuity just got cancelled, and no one is bothered because Fraction's run feels like a continuation from Zdarsky's.
