Chad’s comments from the I Read Comic Books group.

Damian Wayne. If I actually knew the punk, I'd probably want to punch him, but I love how he pesters other heroes at DC.

Wildstorm actually put out some solid Thundercats comics in the early aughts. DC has also published some fun He-Man comics. I'd love to see a Thundarr the Barbarian comic. He was always a more interesting version of Conan to me.

You better hurry, it starts December 8th.

She must be in Countdown then. She fights Whisper Odare and the Crime Bible if I remember correctly.

Their character designs are similar.

Phillip, Batman:Elegy takes place before the volume you picked up. You should definitely read it first. Batwoman also has a significant story in 52 or Countdown. I always get those two confused.

I haven't watched it yet? Is the villain Alice? The Batwoman comics by Greg Rucka and JH Williams are very good.

Creators sometimes don't make much money on their creator owned stuff and will take a break to work on work for hire stuff and stockpile some money. Gregg Rucka and Nicola Scott did this a couple of years ago when they stepped away from Black Magic to work on Wonder Woman.

I was in my comic book shop yesterday and there sat the new issue of Manifest Destiny #37. It's still going strong.

Holly wrote: "Sad day. Should I not bother with that one, then?"

Manifest Destiny is a fantastic title. I'd read it even if it's been a while between issues. It's got this cool, weird, creepy vibe to it and sense of danger. Imagine if the Lewis and Clark expedition found the West full of monsters.

It's horror. Cthulu in space.

Colder is a good addition. I forgot about that one. Those covers are terrifying. Revival would be another one to add.

Locke & Key would top the list.

Tom wrote: "Gotham Academy (which I have read) and (guessing) Umbrella Academy? (which I have not). Would Fence count?"

Umbrella Academy surprisingly has little to do with school except for maybe a few flashbacks.

Morning Glories and Deadly Class come to mind.

I'm not familiar with that site so thank you!

Holly wrote: "I only just joined the challenge, so I might finish, but I'm just hoping to read as many as possible. Will there be a new challenge at the beginning of next year?"

We typically do one every year.

Tom wrote: "I thought the same. A few of the challenge books are like that - like All the Answers and Tetris. I can access them via Comixology once purchased though."

That's good to know. I'd rather use comixology's app than the kindle app on my ipad.

Tom wrote: "I found the digital version on Amazon."

It's weird that it would be on Amazon but not Comixology as Amazon owns Comixology.
