Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! I’ve haven’t critiqued a comic in a long time. It may just be because I haven’t gotten my DC Comics shot yet that I’m critiquing this, but I doubt it. Actually I haven’t really taken the time to read a comic since the late ’90’s. That’s sort of when they fell flat for me. But what I’m seeing today that you guys are trying to pass for comic is turning me inside out. Where the hell did the heart and feels go. Whenever I happen to see a comic today I want to throw it away before I open to first the damn page. The cover is the only entertaining part of the entire book. I have been a HUGE Batman fan all my life. I Actually thought I’d be drawing him professionally some day, but given what you people are putting in legendary comics Like Batman, and settling on it being exceptable, I’d rather throw away my Pens and Pencils.
Thank you, no offense intended.
