Politicians and pundits really think Mamdani is a young people pleaser who can be pushed around. Nah. I know a Kendrick when I see one. He will pull every skeleton out of a man's closet and then pull the skeleton right out of the man.

At one point Michael Flatley (playing retired spy Victor Blackley) takes off one jauntily angled hat only to be handed another. This to me is cinema.

Looking forward to finding out what you think! I quit Palahniuk a few books before this one (Lullaby exhausted me, DNF), but I bought this one a while ago because I like the premise.

That's so cool! I remember reading somewhere that one of the first comics to do it* almost didn't go to press because the editor didn't think kids would know it was a Batman comic w/o the normal logo.

*(Discounting all those Eisner SPIRIT comics, natch.)

It was this one! Infantino rules!

Also: “James Bond is a code name” is a lazy and “continuity-first” retcon patch job that just doesn’t hold water. James Bond is James Bond, the son of Andrew Bond and Monique Delacroix Bond, and has been one character for 70+ years. Just tell a good story between the titles. It’s not a soap opera.
