All star B&R is only funny if you're really into batman.

Least thats how I saw it.

Yeah, I'm almost tempted to see it as an intentional parody.

[x2SMONEY]

The first time I read it I hated it, the second time I found it entertaining. I wonder if that was what Miller was going for, but I aughed my ass of when GL got the shit beaten outta him
But then I think of old Frank Miller Batman and I stop laughing at the thought that its come to this

[First Blood]

Just read this and it was pretty decent. I liked how they keept Frank in the dark for most of the time, creating a great atmosphere. Not having him be the focus of the story was a nice touch as well. The art worked great, I really liked it.

Only thing I can't quite wrap my head around is why he let that guy live in the end.

Yeah, I"ll be keeping my eye on that.

I should get back into Punisher

Do it now.

Yeah, it's quite a pisstake. Batman is basically Rorschach with a cowl. 

[x2SMONEY]

Yeah, except more child molesteryish

The Man Who Laughs just came through the post. Ill be getting stuck into that straight away. Is it almost a directly after Year One?

[First Blood]

That's what they say or at least what Ed Brubaker says. By the way, have you read The Killing Joke yet? Don't remember if you mentioned reading that or not. 

[Keg]

Yeah. I really enjoyed The Killing Joke I thought it was fantastic.

Jokers

attack on Barbara was so sudden and brutal

Im really enjoying getting to see and read the stories that ive heard about for so long. Makes me appreciate the little nods in Arkham Asylum (the game) more. I played some of it the other day and one of the things Joker says on the tannoy is "Theres these two guys in an aslyum...oh wait have I told you this before". I thought that was fantastic.

Ive just finished The Man Who Laughs and it does seem to take place not too long after Year One, although Gordons line at the end of Year One now doesnt make much sense. He says "Somebody is trying to poison the Gotham resevoir, calls himself The Joker." but then in The Man Who Laughs, Jokers plot to do so isnt revealed until near the end so that little comment doesnt quite make sense anymore because he shouldnt have known at that stage.

It came with another story in the paperback called Made of Wood which saw Batman and Green Lantern team up to try and figure out a 50 year old series of murders that have restarted again. I enjoyed that too.

I also just finishing reading Arkham Asylum. That ending with Two-Face was fantastic.

I've been bored recently so I decided to get few graphic novels/comics, can anyone shoot me some good ones? My favorite characters are Batman and basically every character in Marvel, the main ones being Iron Man, Daredevil, Iron Fist, DeadPool, and Hawkeye.

Batman Year One
Iron Man Extremis
Daredevil by Brian Michael Bendis Ultimate collection v1
Immortal Iron Fist v1
Hawkeye by Mark Gruenwald

Buy them.

Thank you good sir, I shall look into these.

For Deadpool get Deadpool Classic Volume 2-4 

I was away and got some Batman to read. Aeus and Huol be proud.

The Man Who Laughs

The Killing Joke

The Dark Knight Returns

I liked TDKR and TKJ the most out of the three and I'm kinda half and half with MWL. I still need to get The Long Halloween.

[Keg]

Im awaiting The Long Halloween, Dark Victory, Hush and Heart of Hush in the post! 

I enjoyed The Man Who Laughs almost as much as The Killing Joke but I certainly wouldnt argue TKJ is the better of the two.

Not really sure what to read after that.

[Ghost Rider]

I got my hands on the new Venom series 1-5.

I love it thus far.

I also got Ghost Rider Fear Itself 1.

I thought it was interesting.

Thanks both of you, I ended up getting Year One, The Killing Joke, TDKR, The Immortal Iron Fist, Iron Man Extremis, and Deadpool Classic Volume 2. I shall enjoy reading these

I actually bought the paperback version of The Dark Knight Returns today. I've only read it on my computer before, but it felt like a totally different experience reading the actual book. I've only read the first chapter so far, but I'm enjoying it a lot more than I usually do.

[First Blood]

Picked up some Walking Dead (8-11)

Just recently finished volume 8...

Awful shit.

Spoiler

Tyreese, Axel, Patricia, Billy, Hershel, Lori and Judith all gone.

F**k sake, that part with The Governor executing Tyreese was just brutal.
