goddamn



so awhile back i picked up the first volume of All Star Batman, mostly on a whim. i hadn't read any of the single issues when they came out, and the only thing i really knew about the series was that it was always super super late, and that Batman called himself the Goddamn Batman a lot.

well, i finally got around to reading it, after i lent it to another friend to read, and i actully liked it. the way Batman is shown, as this crazy lunitic that enjoys beating the shit out of people, is so cool. i think that comic fans tend to get upset when people mess with there "icons" or whatever, but isn't the point of these series? to mess around with the characters and show them a different way? do people really just want to see the same story with the same character, but told by different people, over and over again?

the only thing i didn't really like about was that frank millar isn't drawing it. judging from the few covers he did i can't tell if the book would be better or worse, but it sure would be fun to look at.
