Marie and Manikin and the special 500th issue "To Kill a Legend". <br />However, since I ve already started reading the Doug Moench's run I think I prefer Moench from Conway. While Conway is a talented writer and he was the first to create interesting subplots within the main storylines of the Batman continuity, there are some cases like the amnesia lazy excuse in "Requiem for a Hero" when the writing reminds the old bad scripts before the 70s and Oneil-Adam's start.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-16209722480674805162021-03-29T14:59:01.274-07:002021-03-29T14:59:01.274-07:00Andy, I never realized that Lizard comparison befo...Andy, I never realized that Lizard comparison before!

As for the art reproduction, I guess one good thing about modern comics is the quality of the paper and the printing. They do look spectacular.Jack Seabrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02216640325305820140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-89135375751488367572021-03-29T10:01:04.244-07:002021-03-29T10:01:04.244-07:00I never realized what a Lizard clone Man-Bat is. H...I never realized what a Lizard clone Man-Bat is. He mutates, his wife rings hands, Batman pours serum down his throat, Langstrom changes back. Vows never to become Man-Bat again. Till the next time.<br /><br />The cave drawing is indeed way ahead of the rest of the issue. Really poor art. Newton is so much better. I have only the original issues, and I am amazed how bad the art reproduction is. Everything looks dark and muddy, the edges are blurred, it is a poor comic.<br /><br />Today I rue that I gave Trevor von Eeden's series 'Thriller' away. It was different, which at the time I couldn't get into. The Robin story barely qualifies as a story, but there is an undeniabale energy which the rest so lacks.<br /><br />The Catwoman of this time is as dull as is Poison Ivy.andydeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01312309519462680892noreply@blogger.com
