Hello my good friend, what did you think of King's Supergirl?

I actually think Tom King's Supergirl was good. The story was solid, and the exposition/verbal got really tiring but it was digestible. It's just that the writing for Supergirl particular I did not find engaging. I thought the series overall was solid, but I did not care for teh character. It was really similar to True Grit.

The art in this was, I thought, emphasised on selling the horror of Fries. It absolutely did that. I don't think the horror of Fries would have been any near as chilling under the original artist. However, I do concede that I am looking forward to Dragotta's return.

I think Scott Snyder's writing for Batman stands out a lot because he has more creative freedom. I believed he left DC because he ran out of stories to tell that had to fit in continuity, and Absolute Batman is like an original "indie" comic that just happens to have Batman. But the best thing is that he has more creative freedom to do whatever he wants.

And as someone who does enjoy Tynion IV and Joshua Williamson's Batman run (while also detesting Tom King's run on Batman) which writer do you consider to be the best batman writer of all time? Also, I would like to hear your thoughts on why you did not enjoy King, Williamson and Tynion IV's run, considering you often give out positive reviews.

Finally, I know it's unfair to compare. But do you personally think Absolute Batman will be seen as a classic in the future like New 52 Batman run if Scott Snyder keeps this consistent? Sorry for the barrage of comments

I believe we are absolutely in the midst of a classic with Absolute Batman. Given its impact on the industry, I feel its status as a classic in the annals of history is already assured.

I do also believe that of Absolute Wonder Woman and Absolute Superman. I feel we are in the midst of a comic book renaissance - that's been brought in with alternative universe stories - Marvel with Ultimate, DC with Absolute.

I want to be clear, I love the various works of Tynion, King and Williamson - I came off more negative than I intended. I think you'd agree, King gets in his own way with the verbosity in which he writes with. I do think he has some good stories in isolation. I just don't think long form story telling is his bag.

Tynion's choice of rogues wasn't particularly compelling. I felt his run de-mystified the Joker quite brutally. It just didn't ignite my imagination in the way Morrison and Snyder do. I think they are unquestionably my favourite Batman writers.

Apologies for the lack of details in my response, I should have taken a bit more time to think before responding. Currently being cooked by public transport!

I love your reviews by the way. Please keep them up. My commentary is normally quite brief on here but I do feel compelled to expand it as a result of my enthusiasm for the Absolute universe.

Hello Motorik, I love hearing your thoughts and critiques on how Tom King and James Tynion Iv's Batman runs did not work with you, and I completely agree with you. I do think James Tynion IV's Detective Comics run was stronger. And I agree with you personally on how Grant Morrison, Scott Snyder are my favorite writers (Dennis O Neil is part of that holy trinity of best batman writers).

I thought James worked well as a foil to Snyder. For that reason, it is clear why they selected him. However, I don't think it panned how how anyone had hoped. Again, bits of it were good but the core of it prevented it from greatness. I also enjoyed his Detective run more also. I love his What's Killing the Children immensely.

I love what you said here. "While I personally think Absolute Wonder Woman is the best, and Absolute Superman is my favorite, I can confidently say that Absolute Batman is the most entertaining and consistent." All three titles keep switching around for me - best, favourite and most consistent. That's an excellent trifecta of judgement for a shared universe. I'll be using it going forward!

Btw, RE Zdarsky - I thought the Failsafe stuff was classic. He peaked at the beginning. Also, like myself, you'll have appreciated Batman of Zur-En-Arrh - because you are also a Morrison fan. Have you read Zdarsky's Daredevil? Fantastic stuff.

Hello my friend. Just got round to reading this. Wow. My favourite comic is All Star Superman. I've never read another Superman comic that I thought came close to that. Until this that is. I've just recently bought the Grant Morrison Batman Omnibus collection. As such, I searched if he has any new DC releases. He revealed he has a new DC project in the works and also expressed his adoration for Peace on Earth. I found it on ebay for next to nothing and just finished it. I am utterly stunned.

I very much enjoy your commentary on here. You are positive and constructive. I hope you continue to post on here. I appreciate your perspective immensely. Cheers from Scotland!

Thanks Motorik! It always warms my heart and brightens my day when I see you write positive reviews and bash Gabe Hernandez haha. I did not know about Grant Morrison's future DC project so I'm excited. I want to ask you what is it about All Star Superman that makes it your favorite comic of all time.

And if you want a good recommendation on an optimistic and hopeful Superman, I really liked Superman: All the Seasons. You should also check out Grant Morrison's Action Comics, or Geoff Johns,Joshua Williamson, and Peter J Tomasi's Superman runs when you have the time.
