Thanks for the heads up! I'll have to pick up Batman Court of Owls!

A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.
Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.
There is only one rule:*
Comic Books is a no judgement zone.
You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.
If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.
* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(
I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

This is a really cool idea. I’d love to see Marvel and Dark Horse follow suit. I think there are quite a few I would be I retested in.
As a kid I actually had an X-men book that was exactly this. It was a story about Arcade trapping them in an amusement park.
It was black and white, but I read it way more than my other comics because I didn’t want to take them anywhere and wreck them.
It really is. I've bought a few to give out as inexpensive gifts to friends and family that might be interested.
If you haven't read them, several of these are quite good:
Watchmen by Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons
Far Sector by N.K. Jemisin, Jamal Campbell
American Vampire Book One by Scott Snyder, Stephen King, Rafael Albuquerque – October 1
Catwoman: Trail of the Catwoman by Darwyn Cooke, Ed Brubaker – October 1
Kingdom Come – by Mark Waid, Alex Ross – May 6, 2025
And A-SS, everyone loves A-SS.
Whole the ones you pick are top notch, you can't really go wrong with any of them and, at that price, you can afford to take a shot on them or give them away as presents.
I liked Watchmen but I enjoyed the film even more. Honestly from a perspective of storytelling, character development and overall solidity, I consider Watchmen one of the greatest movies ever made. It’s definitely among my favorite of all. I think even as celebrated as it is, it’s still underrated.
