Looks like DC mislabeled my Planetary comic. Outsiders #1 (November 14, 2023) By Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly, Robert Carey, Thomas Napolitano, and Valentina Taddeo Cover by Roger Cruz and Adriano Lucas Edited by Jessica Berbey and Ben Abernathy Batman and the Outsiders was my first favorite comic book. So when my friend told me about the 2024 version of Outsiders which was actually a secret…
Feels like a Preacher crossover. Hitman #15 (April 30, 1997) By Garth Ennis, John McCrea, Carla Feeny, and Willie Schubert Cover by John McCrea Edited by Peter Tomasi and Dan Raspler I imagine if DC hadn't made it explicit that the Vertigo universe was its own thing, completely separate from the mainstream DCU, the Ace of Killers would have just been the Saint of Killers in this comic. I know…
Earth's secret archaeologist's hide outside of the light. And thus inside the Batman. Planetary/Batman: Night on Earth (June 25th, 2003) By Warren Ellis, John Cassaday, David Baron, and Wes Abbott Cover by John Cassaday Edited by Kristy Quinn and Scott Dunbier I believe one of the reasons I was good at avoiding pointless and mindless debates with awful people on the Internet from the very…
Best cover in DC's entire history! Hitman #14 (May 1997) By Garth Ennis, John McCrea, Carla Feeny, and Willie Schubert Cover by John McCrea Edited by Peter Tomasi and Dan Raspler I just re-watched the first two episodes of Portlandia which caused me to be aware of something I had not been aware of before: I am 2 Degrees of Separation from Aubrey Plaza. In the second episode's closing credits, the…
I don't know how this story arc came about but it sets up one of my favorite covers next issue. Hitman #13 (April 1997) By Garth Ennis, John McCrea, Carla Feeny, and Willie Schubert Cover by John McCrea Edited by Peter Tomasi and Dan Raspler I've read Gravity's Rainbow and Infinite Jest and I know I'm never going to read Finnegan's Wake so the next "most difficult book" I picked up a few months…
I bet this issue sold less units than usual due to Kyle Rayner being on the cover. Hitman #12 (March 1997) By Garth Ennis, John McCrea, Carla Feeny, and Willie Schubert Cover by John McCrea Edited by Peter Tomasi and Dan Raspler I don't usually discuss the art when I'm reading comic books which is a real lack of vision on my part considering the media. But when I do discuss it, it should be in one…
Kyle's just lucky Bueno Excellente doesn't exist yet. Hitman #11 (February 1997) By Garth Ennis, John McCrea, Carla Feeny, and Willie Schubert Cover by John McCrea Edited by Peter Tomasi and Dan Raspler My whole life I've been considered the loud one. It was always meant as a derogatory critique of the way I unconsciously expressed myself. It wasn't until I met the Non-Certified Spouse and she…
This would be me if my stupid neighbors would appreciate me more. Hitman #10 (January 1997) By Garth Ennis, John McCrea, Carla Feeny, and Willie Schubert Cover by John McCrea Edited by Peter Tomasi and Dan Raspler I've learned that the people closest to me (meaning my friends and family) seem to appreciate me less than strangers. Just a few days ago, some bloke on Bluesky hunted me down to lift me…
The rarely used perspective of the dead. Hitman #9 (December 1996) By Garth Ennis, John McCrea, Carla Feeny, and Willie Schubert Cover by John McCrea Edited by Peter Tomasi and Dan Raspler You can correct me by pointing out all of the ancient, middle ages, renaissance, romantic, Victorian, modern, and postmodern texts that all use the perspective of the dead but I won't listen because I fucking…
Is this one of those "There's an event happening in Gotham due to Batman so all characters in Gotham must take part" issue? Hitman #8 (Late November 1996) By Garth Ennis, John McCrea, Carla Feeny, and Willie Schubert Cover by John McCrea Edited by Peter Tomasi and Dan Raspler I think I have a vague memory of this issue. Isn't there some huge blackout thing in Gotham that's making Batman put in…
