On Watchmen And Shakespeare, the 9-Panel Grid And Iambic Pentameter. I've been thinking a lot about Watchmen, 6- or 9-panel page layouts, poetry, meter, and iambic pentameter...

Wait, don't go to another webpage! This will be interesting, I promise! Lately, I've had Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' masterpiece Watchmen on hand as my go-to reading material for when I've had a free minute and I've read through it a few times over the past few weeks. If you aren't familiar with Watchmen (and if you aren't, you should be) every page is laid out in a 9-panel grid. Sometimes panels are combined (fig. 2 directly below and at left) and sometimes the same image continues across multiple panels with time passing and plot advancing from panel to panel (fig. 3, below and at right), but at all times it is in the context of a 9-panel grid.

Keeping up with my current comic reading, it seems like traditional paneling is more-or-less a thing of the past. Batman: Zero Year [Review] - Noisy Noisy Man. An epic take on who Batman is and how he came to be Three years after DC introduced wide, sweeping changes to their mythos by way of the New 52, I’ve remained pretty indifferent to what DC has to offer.

Mainly because I feel that the previous DVD was a rich universe full of legacy and history, and at the same time insanely accessible. I became a DC fan not because their stories were dumbed down for people who knew only the barest facts about Batman and Superman. I became a DC fan because the universe these characters inhabited was so large, and had a vibrant past that you could spend weeks reading up on the rich history of, say, the Flash and see where Wally West has come with the mantle’s legacy.

Hawkgirl's toes are driving me nuts.

Toes just don't bend that way. She's not standing on anything, and those "hiking boots" don't have a long heel to match, so is she just pointing her feet straight down and her toes straight up for the entire flight? There is a lot about the posters that I like, particularly Supergirl and Catwoman, but I find those feet to be a glaring anatomical gaffe. 75 Greatest Batman Covers of All-Time Master List.

The End Of Grant Morrison's Batman. This week, Batman Incorporated #13, by Grant Morrison , Chris Burnham and Nathan Fairbairn , wraps up Morrison’s seven-year tenure on the character. It brings everything to a definitive close that leads to both the character’s new era in the New 52 and to the core of the Batman myth itself. It closes not just one loop, but a number of loops, between the present and various points in the past — the beginning of this volume, the beginning of Morrison’s run and, indeed, to the very beginning of the character, way back in Detective Comics #27 in 1939. It’s a heartfully written, beautifully drawn true creative collaboration between three of the best talents in comics, and can probably be best described as a frustrated and slightly resigned labor of love. I’ve been following this run since it started, and there’s a solid argument to be made that this particular run, this particular story, has been the bedrock of my entire comics journalism career.

While I am not a twelve year-old Japanese boy or one of those fat guys with a beard that argues on forums about who would win in a fight between Batman and Manbat, I recently bought the Walking Dead comic on Amazon because I like the television series.As I was bored yesterday at work, instead of writing copy for a sales brochure on home guttering that a client was expecting by 10am today, I scanned in the entire comic and have posted it below.There are a couple of minor differences in the script between the Walking Dead comic and the television series, but the comic (released eight years before the television adaptation) does cover pretty much everything that happens in the first, second, and upcoming third and final series:
