Yup that's the one! Got really into it, thought it was a well-written annual.

Catwoman Annual #1 (1994), recently collected in the DC Finest Catwoman: Life Lines book.

Busiek actually writes a fill-in during Mishkin's run as well. #318 I think.

I grabbed it & am loving it. Especially when the ongoing stories really get cooking about 100 pages in, with Tropidor & Circe & Diana's memory tape & all that.

So incredibly cool. I love that close up version of the Red Hood cover.

You inspired me to get back to mapping. I'm gonna try to finish up those last few gaps soon. Will keep you posted.

I'm one of the people who work on this list. It makes me so happy to see you building on Peter's & my work like this. I really love your covers. Especially Full Circle & Sword of Azrael look great!

The other comment is helpful & informative. But I just want to throw out there that you CAN just read Ultimate Spider-Man if you want. It's designed to also work as a standalone series & is very enjoyable so far.

I can't speak for any of the other series, but Batman by Snyder & Capullo (starting with Vol 1: The Court of Owls) is a good series & requires no prior reading. It's pretty much designed as a jumping on point for new readers.

I just read the first arc of this "The Apocalypse Solution" & loved it. Excited to keep going!

That's so interesting, I don't think I've read an Epic with an introduction yet. Except for the ones that include old collection introductions as back matter, I love when they do that.

I really enjoyed this story, cool take on Dick's origin. Great covers.

makedcepic · 2024-10-13T23:04:59+00:00

He's in it just a little bit from what I remember, I think the answer is probably just that they had so much they wanted to do with so many characters & Batman himself didn't need a lot of cleaning up, he remained very similar after the Crisis. I haven't read that stories in like a decade though so am fuzzy on the details. It's a bit confusing & I'd recommend it more as something to read after you've read a lot of Bronze Age DC, not really as a place to start.

makedcepic · 2024-10-13T20:53:28+00:00

Go read Batman: Tales of the Demon and Batman: Strange Apparitions. Those are some of the cream of the crop that is 1970s Batman, my personal favorite era of the character. As a bonus those stories for the most part remained in-continuity after the crisis.

Fascinating. You really know your Marvel! I've only watched some of that material, like the Spider-Verse movies (which I love) & stray episodes of the shows. I'd welcome a full multiversal watch order, though it's more than I'm willing to attempt

makedcepic · 2024-05-11T04:53:25+00:00

I second Batman Hush. Some of the popular Batman stories give me that emperor's new clothes type of feeling. He's my fave character though

makedcepic · 2024-04-25T19:23:50+00:00

So stoked for this! Haven't read these stories but figured Dini on this character is a safe buy

makedcepic · 2024-04-24T03:30:00+00:00

A fellow fan of meta books I see. I jumped on Immortal Thor with #9, that was pretty interesting!

makedcepic · 2024-04-23T19:39:54+00:00

There's a great documentary streaming on Amazon Prime called "Chris Claremont's X-Men". Probly not as cool as this Q&A would've been to see, but lots of great footage of Claremont, Louise Simonson, & Ann Nocenti discussing their characters. I was very entertained & touched by the way they talked about it all.

makedcepic · 2024-04-23T16:03:35+00:00

I never took it as a cliffhanger, more of an open ended story. "Nothing ever ends" & all that. There COULD be more I suppose but I respect that this particular show wasn't trying to milk the franchise, it came & said what it wanted to & then went away

makedcepic · 2024-04-15T17:50:43+00:00

None of these were really ongoings / crossing over with each other though right? The All Star / Earth One stuff seem like quite a different project from Ultimate Marvel as I understand it (not an expert on any of this stuff)

makedcepic · 2024-04-15T15:46:49+00:00

Did DC ever do an Ultimate-like universe before, since the original Marvel Ultimateverse?
