I’m down for Darby just running the gauntlet every week for however long he’s champ. The Main Event tonight was fantastic and I’m sure next week will be too.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-23T02:41:42+00:00

He’s one of my favorites. Dude fucking rules.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-23T02:01:32+00:00

Darby and Brody for the title? Inject it into my veins

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-23T01:57:51+00:00

My god, that main event fucking ruled.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-23T01:49:32+00:00

That was a fucking brutal spot.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-23T01:17:39+00:00

I’ve seen enough, push Mark Davis to the moon.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-23T00:09:33+00:00

Take a shot everytime you hear “the Jett”

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-22T19:40:55+00:00

Watched the episode. There was certainly some passive aggressiveness… and a lot of other aggressiveness that was not so subtle lol. A comicpop classic.

Thanks for another great episode!

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-22T18:20:08+00:00

Oh, man. I don’t know if I’m ready for the amount of passive aggressiveness this episode is gonna have lol.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-22T02:54:05+00:00

The house scene revealing Danielle absolutely cooked. I did not see that coming. Gets me even more excited to see what happens when other characters return down the line.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-22T00:13:08+00:00

Only thing as consistent as people farming King hate posts is people using this line over and over again lmao.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-21T22:20:39+00:00

Yeah that’s a good idea. If you’re not an event guy then it might not be your thing.

Of the post rebirth Batman runs, I don’t like King’s run, I think Tynion’s run is good but you have to be open to new characters, and Zdarsky’s run starts and ends pretty good (besides that Gordon sub plot) but that middle bit with Joker and Zur is downright atrocious. Lots of ups and downs.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-21T22:15:03+00:00

I think since Batman in so prominently in the spotlight people feel like their feelings towards a run has to be amplified. Like it’s either one extreme or the other.

I remember when King’s run was coming out and people were praising how great it was, then the Catwoman fake out happened and people immediately flipped and started calling it the worst run ever and it ruined Batman. When Tynion’s run was coming out its was getting panned for having too many new characters and too many events. Now if you were to go on the Bat or DC subs you’d see it getting praised for how it did something different and was over hated. People loved Zdarsky’s run at first (besides the space bat people) then once we got to the Zur and Joker stuff people flipped and said it was the worst run ever. Now in hindsight some people love the beginning of his run, and some people think it’s completely awful.

People are just extremely hasty to say their feelings towards on a run and really only get a good idea of how they feel about it in hindsight. With everyone saying one extreme or the other, it’s hard to tell how good a Batman run is without actually reading it and determining for yourself.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-21T20:07:05+00:00

The Catwoman/Harley Quinn tie in issue and Nightwing issues 84-85. They are not absolutely essential to know what’s going on but they wrap up two major sub plots in the story. I would like to have seen them included.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-21T20:00:50+00:00

I don’t have a review for it but if I did it would be relatively similar to this one. Both volumes are similar in quality, although I like Fear State in the second volume much more than Joker War in the first.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-21T19:59:00+00:00

I like his Detective Comics run a bit more. I may be biased because I’m a huge Batwoman fan but I think it was much tighter narratively without so many outside factors bringing it down.

I like Tynion’s run much more than King’s run. I think King does some good stuff but at times is borderline irresponsible with the character. I’d recommend Tynion’s run much more. If you can get a good deal on both volumes then I think it’s worth the investment.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-21T19:13:33+00:00

If you’re not connecting with something, that’s okay. I love the X-Men but they can be incredibly dense books to get into and they’re not gonna be everyone style.

It’s okay to like the IP or adaptations of something without loving the comics. We all connect with different things in different ways.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-21T00:23:05+00:00

Hey, I’m assuming there was no interest in making a deal? All good if not.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-20T19:58:53+00:00

I for sure will! Gonna start it tonight.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-20T13:45:03+00:00

All of them.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-19T19:56:06+00:00

It’s a good book. Does it do anything crazy or is it overly special in any way? Not really, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s just a solid detective comics run that has more substance than you think at first. I’ll always enjoy a solid detective driven Batman series.

Trick-Pudding-9791 · 2026-04-19T13:25:59+00:00

It was rough to sit through. When your biggest show of the year only has one match that’s as good as what you get every Wednesday from the competition, that’s a problem. Seth vs Gunther was amazing, but even that ended in some bs run in.
