LOL "I'll hire you. I have fifty-seven cents."
How can you not love Harley with lines like that?

Still... pretty excited to pick this one up at the ol LCS tomorrow.

	It'll be interesting to see what Chris Yost does when he's not killing underage kids. The preview looks promising. Love love love the art! I personally love DeVito-Penguin! (Reply to this)

	Oh Eddie. shwing wish granted! The art for Eddie looks good, but I was hoping Harley could be drawn better. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I agree. I can be picky with her -- like where are her diamonds? And yeah, Eddie looks diiiivine in this. Same with Ozzie. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You should check out the GI Joe prequel comics: there's a character with David Tennant's face in both issues to date. And the second cameo -- in the ~~9th Doctor~~ Destro story -- arguably has Martha in tow... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ghosty732 2009-04-28 04:05 pm UTC (link)
	I think this is hinting at the fact that it is A Black Mask, not THE Black Mask. Which would make more sense. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Holy crap, Eddie and Ozzie look fierce. Except what the hell hat is Eddie wearing there? Bowler derby all the way, people! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	So... Jason gets the cowl? Ó_ò I like the Penguin's looks here! Anway, this whole Battle needs to be retconned afterwards. It likely will. If I keep that firmly in mind, this can be fun. (Reply to this)

	Harley/Riddler. How I secretly love thee. And damn Eddie is looking fiiiine. (Reply to this)

	I wonder if this will finally address who Harley is living with. I love how she can apparently now walk around in her costume for the Hell of it. When did Ryan Reynolds become The Riddler? It doesn't look bad, but he looks really young. (Reply to this)

	Not liking Eddie's hair. He looks fine with the hat on, though. As for Ozzie... the hell? Italmost looks like Danny DeVito!Penguin is back again. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Totally Devito. Especially at the bottom of that 3rd page. (Reply to this) (Parent)

No, no, no...

No: If that's Danny DeVito, why does he have ten fingers instead of six? And Penguin is a lot taller than Yoda, c'mon.

No: Pam hanging out with rabble like "it was a big rock" Croc and Firefly? Pam works alone, with plant creatures she creates, or with her BFF.

No: I need more motive for Harley to go looking for Eddie. Would have worked much better if it was a random encounter, like Eddie stops in for coffee, and look who's here ordering a triple expresso, extra sweet. Yikes, Harley, are you wearing Depends?

Maybe she hit 'em with the phero-mojo. A girl's gotta have meat shields.

Would have worked much better if it was a random encounter, like Eddie stops in for coffee, and look who's here ordering a triple expresso, extra sweet.

Or a crime in progress:
"All right, this is a stickup! Gimmie all the the money in the register, a mocha latte, and one of those giant muffins. Holy cow, Eddie! What a coincidink! You want a muffin? Gimmie another giant muffin!"

That's more like it! XD

You've kind of painted our anti-heroes into a corner, though, we don't need the SWAT teams swarming in and interrupting Eddie's investigation. We should also have Eddie reach over and pull the trigger on her oversize gun so that the "BANG!" flag comes out. Eddie: "Ha! Isn't she a riot? Ok, so how much do we owe you? Oh, and that's to go, please..."

I actually kind of want to read this book.

...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to read this book. Experience has taught me...wow, Chris Yost...experience has taught me that even when a Bat book is enjoyable, say the Batgirl book. That enjoyment will only last long enough so that when DC finally twists the knife, it'll hurt that much more.

Pity. I guess I'll have to console myself with Yost's work in War of Kings, when it comes out next year in trade that is.

1. I love that all the villains just run around in their costumes. THIS. IS. GOTHAAAAM.

2. Fifty-seven! Gotta keep it a nice odd, prime number. Go Harls.

3. Am I the only one who was squeeing at THE FACT THAT RIDDLER IS WEARING A PORKPIE HELL YES. ALSO DID YOU SEE HIS TIECLIP WHOA DO WANT. AND THOSE SHADES. DAMN.

Bonus: Ivy is pretty kinky there, doing shibari with vines. Whoa now, Ivy, is that strictly necessary, or have you been watching too much Sleeping Beauty?

5. 'My dear girl'. He even talks like Sherlock Holmes. God I love this man.

	This may be the first time that I've seen the Riddler depicted as a geniunely handsome man. But I like it. I kind of dread the probably re-appearance of Riddler in the new Bat movies. They'll likely try to make him into a hard-core villain when he works so well now as a fun anti-hero. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	foxhack 2009-04-29 12:21 am UTC (link)
	Er. Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand? Dammit, this art gives me the willies, and not in a good way. Harley looks naked. Riddler looks like a mixture of that Dr. Who guy and the guy from Buffy, the lounge singer who just died. DeVito Penguin should've been left in the 90's! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	No complaints on the writing, though. I like where this story's going. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I luuuurve this art. I want to look at it all day! Why do the crappiest story arcs have the loveliest art and really great stories have crappy art? Unless it's Birds of Prey, where the quality of writing and art generally coincided. (Reply to this)
