Well even though Snyder is the "show-runner", Scott is only writing the first three issues (and man can you tell when you read issue #4) and then he jumps back on for a couple more a little later on, so yeah, I will miss those issues.
And yes, you're right. With issue #3 it did shine more. It did get even better than issue #2, which was better than the jumbled issue #1
, but issue #4 was kinda jarring. The art alone fell quite a bit. Not that it is bad, just not as good
, but that writing also fell for me. It is absolutely possible I was looking for it to do so, so I could have the excuse of dropping it
, but it did seem weaker.
What this title does well, relatively, is showcase the side characters. That is what is great about it. What isn't great is the last issue that showed Batgirl
Ummm, no. Again, what I will miss about this title is that it seems to highlight the characters I wanted to see more of. I wanted to see more about Spoiler and Gordon and the squad, but this just doesn't seem worth the $7 I was spending on it. I can get a SAGA trade for the same price so to me, I would prefer to go that route.
Although I can see why others enjoy what is here as again, it is showing what I want to see ... what happens to the people on the side of Batman. That is what they are highlighting. That is why others should enjoy this. But for me, as soon as I read issue #1, I kinda knew I was going to be a tad disappointed. But I am an anal SOB so ...
But do keep us updated on what's going on.
I do want to know. Just not for $7 a month
(And my boy Dave just isn't a Bat fan, so he is not buying it. Thinking more about his lack of Bat love ... I'm not sure why he is even a friend, really, with that kind of brain processing)
EDIT - Crap, I just realized that if I was to drop Batman, I could totally drop all my monthlies. I would just sign up for Marvel's Unlimited and be done with it. Batman is the only thing keeping me buying monthlies, really. Wow, if Snyder and/or Capullo leave ... Hmmm. Hell, may think on this a little. Put my Batman 1-33 up on Ebay ?? Could I? Naaaa ... ? Not yet ... Maybe?
crap.
