I can’t believe I’m already three reviews behind. I will catch up soon! New BoP continues to be excellent, and I have much to say.<\/p>\n
Bah, the second, though is Batman: The Return<\/em>. Combined with the Bruce Wayne six-parter I read, my overall feeling about not only this story but its resolution is, “OH, COME ON!”<\/p>\n Soooo sick of this silliness. Batman, Inc.? \u00a0BATMAN, INC.?! What kind of a lame-o cop-out of a so-called resolution is that? Instead of a return of Batman we get frickin’ Bat Lanterns.<\/p>\n BAH HUMBUG!<\/p>\n I don’t even care if it turns out to be the best thing ever in comics, I found the lead up and denouement overly complicated and bizarre and frustrating. Yet again, another revamp that will impact other books that have been doing well (Batgirl<\/em>, for instance). Yet again, another shakeup to plain old good storytelling just so there can be some sort of Big Story OMG Buy All The Books Yay!<\/p>\n No.<\/p>\n I’m tired of this. I am, in fact, weary <\/em>of this.<\/p>\n I will still get BoP. I might still get Supergirl, <\/em>though that book, too, is going through yet another creative change and probably yet another rethinking to figure out some way to do Superman right this time<\/em>. I am probably dumping Wonder Woman<\/em> (the less said about the lameness of this re-imagining combined with its re-imaginer’s bail-out five issues in, the better). I might still get Batgirl<\/em>, if the new direction doesn’t ruin what’s made it so much fun for the past many issues. I intend to try the new Batwoman <\/em>book.<\/p>\n But I’m exhausted by all the upheaval. It is the way of comics these days, but at some point I just want a writer and a penciller to get to tell the stories they want to tell without constant mid-word creative team changes, story changes, crossovers, artist changes mid-story, fill-ins, random tie-ins, guest stars for the sake of having guest stars, and general messing around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I can’t believe I’m already three reviews behind.
