I like the cover of issue 1017, a little more minimalist than the others. And completely changing the subject, I noticed you have a copy of Krampus: The Yule Lord by Brom on your shelves, in the upper left of the image up top. Have you read it, and if so what did you think? That was the first novel of Brom’s I’ve read. Prior to that I only knew him for his incredible artwork. But I was very pleasantlly surprised by the story, I really enjoyed it.
I’m with you there. Issue #1017 is probably my favourite design of this volume too.
Nice eye! 😛 I had that copy for so long and have been meaning to get through it during a… winter but never have! I just know it’s high on my list of books I want to read at some point and hopefully, it’ll be sooner rather than later! I’ll definitely share my thoughts here when I get through it though. It’s awesome to know that you enjoyed it though! I first heard of The Child Thief before this one though but I don’t own a copy of that one myself. Might be a nice pick as your next Brom tale though! 😀
Yeah, I think I read Krampus just before last Christmas. It really fit the season. And I do have The Child Thief, so I may try to read that one in 2021. And maybe Lost Gods, too, if I decide to be really ambitious. 🙂
What happened to Tomasi on this title? I thought he would be perfect for it after his excellent run on Batman and Robin. I tried a few issues but it didn’t stand out for me.
Tell me about it. His run started off so bad for me… And when this fourth volume ends up being his best one so far, yet so heavily-flawed? I sometimes wonder if he’s trying to self-sabotage or trying to convey some kind of statement to DC and their marketing structure…
Not a total waste though at 3 stars, though, huh? Thank you for sharing, Lashann. You get a couple more days of my mischievous blog hopping until things start to get serious again, whatever that means! 😂
Were bringing in the New Year with some Crash Bandicoot CTR racing, local head-to-head since GameStop had the physical pin collection with all the digital upgrades for cheap!
Hahah not all bad, just completely average! 😀 Thanks for your visit, my friend! Enjoy my man Bandicoot! I’m currently tracking the fourth installment (It’s About Time) for a nice price drop before getting my hands on it too! 😀
Eh, poor Bats. Doesn’t seem to have much luck lately with his creators. Sorry to hear that this rotten storylining continues… You know what I think, Lashaan – it’s all King’s fault! 😀

Man, poor Bats seems to have a run of bad luck with you.

Yep. At least Tynion IV’s next volume in the Batman comic book run (The Joker War) seems VERY promising. Looking forward to that one most right now.
