DC should just call itself “Bloodlines Comics” to better reflect where its priorities are (spoiler: stuck in 1993).

Survivors’ Club and Last Gang in Town ended last week.

Slash & Burn, by virtue of Vertigo’s lowest-selling title for April 2016, ended that month.

Seriously — are trade sales of Doctor Fate what keeps that book going? Paul — come back to the Legion!

I’m curious why Midnighter and Martian Manhunter, both great books that are being cancelled, are being kicked to the curb while Doctor Fate, selling worse than both of those, is apparently continuing post Rebirth? Makes no sense. Maybe you’re right, Steve, and it’s trades sell well?

RE: Green Lantern: Edge of Oblivion – I am still for about the 3rd month wondering why the numbers for GL: Lost Army are not included in the past counts.

As for Bloodlines, I remain convinced that DC has to do things with titles every once in a while for some reason in the family of trademarks/copyrights. There are too many times when older names get thrown out for no reason. Like “Star-Spangled Comics featuring G.I.Zombie” – why not just “G.I.Zombie”?

Well, I might be in the minority but if this is correct, I am glad to see Mr. Romita step away from the Superman title. His art does not work for me in the slightest. Maybe on a different character it would, but no way. This is, as far as I am concerned, good news.

I am still clinging to hope that some way will be found to have everyone forget that Clark = Superman, as well. For all the traffic and $$$ generated with Batman, I just cannot see why DC cannot make more of the first real Superhero (and best, IMHO).

Makes sense, JRjr’s art is almost as fugly as Miller’s.

It’s good to see Miller is doing better. It’s so odd to me that no site had mentioned his health issues.

We need to put out another Dark Knight Returns book this year! Let’s call it a trilogy!! Like we planned it all along!

Great actor to be working on 100 Bullets, but it’s a property that I think would make a much better tv show than a movie. Just the initial concept of someone getting 100 untraceable bullets before rest of the back story comes into play, is something that works best when you see the results of many different characters, rather than it play out just once.

I don’t disagree.

I really wish this made me excited and not several types of nervous.

Back in february 1979,DD158 came out drawn by Miller,and it was grea!.He was a rising star, and peaked in 86 when he did the dark knight series. The sequel 15 years later,l,was terrible, absolutly Godawfull.Same with his all star Goddamn batman.His star has greatly fallen.I dont care who draws it, as long as he writes it.The only way I’d pick this up is if it was a free comic day comic.

I try not to be too much of a negative-Nelly when it comes to unreleased comics, but this will probably be terrible.

It will, however, make DC a lot of money.

From what I’ve seen on the web poor Frank has cancer. He looked very healthy five years ago. He’s collaborating with another writer to make what might be his last Batman graphic novel. I knew something must have been wrong with his health when I saw his comments about the protests in New York concerning the 99 per cent on Wall Street. That and his deteriorating art and quality of his stories. There was a picture of him on Face Book in a wheel chair and he was very painfully thin. If Frank were here right now I’d give him my prayers and hope his cancer goes into remission. He’s too young to leave us now and I hope that he has a story to top Dark Knight Returns. The last one, “The Dark Knight Strikes Back” was a terrible disappointment .and I knew he needed more time to develop something really special. I hope Frank calls in his former collaborators, with inks by Klaus Janson and colors by Lyn Varley.

With Azzarello on board, it can’t be as bad as DK2, can it?? If it was just Miller, I’d say no thanks. Now I’ll wait for reviews.

In other words, Miller is now a man badly in need of a hit.

I remember when the Dark Knight Strikes Again came out, a friend asked me what I thought of it. I told him, “Godfather III was better.”

For what the current cover is showing is basically, “The Goddamn Batman” is upset that his utopia he created in The Dark Knight Strikes Again is in uproar and it’s all Superman’s fault (somehow), and now he’ll finish what he started. With the whole, [Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice] being readied what better way to show how cool Batman is (than to off your rival and new threat at the sametime; cause let face it … with The Death of Superman symbol, you can’t really conclude very much else). Bruce probably been waiting for somekind of insurrection by our Farmboy, and to off his entire family and allies, too show whom is the Master Race on his Earth-31 (sarcasm).

Considering what’s been learned since All-Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder #1-9 TP and it’s predecessors’ that this Batman; will do anything to keep what he wants at somebody else’s price [see The Dark Knight Returns #3, Superman’s insight that lead to ASBAR revelation/Dick Grayson being the villain in TDKSA].

I am hopeful that with Brian Azzarello things won’t go off the deep end; but with DC Comics’ Batman Obsession currently in-check, I’m expecting more the one sided hero worship of all things Dark Knight.

If you remember, DK2 ended with Superman abandoning his moral code of conduct after much criticism from Batman and acting more aggressively. His last appearance had him hovering over the earth and ominously asking his daughter, “what will we do with our world?” So the “Master Race” of the title probably refers to the Superman family, now opposing Batman as a fascist elite rather than the government stooge Superman was before.

Miller has always been skinny, but in recent years he’s been gaunt and skeletal, and looks far older than his actual age of 58. If he does have cancer I hope he recovers. I’ve followed his career since Daredevil No. 158 (May 1979). While I haven’t liked anything he’s done in the last 20 years, I still have great affection for his DD, Ronin, Dark Knight Returns, Elektra: Assassin, and the Wolverine miniseries he did with Chris Claremont. His place in the comics pantheon is secure.

“That and his deteriorating art and quality of his stories.”

Yes, Miller’s work has deteriorated in recent years. But the same was true of the later work of Kirby, Caniff, Eisner, Colan, Capp and other greats. Their work also declined as they became old men. So Miller has good company in his decline.

Frank certainly didn’t look well when promoting the SIN CITY sequel last summer:

Really looking forward to this.

Doesn’t Mike Allred have a character named Spaceman?
