I don't think it ever came out in paperback, because it was so bad that no one who'd been allowed to flip through the pages would have bought it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586138.post-29941894491409863992007-06-19T02:23:00.000-03:002007-06-19T02:23:00.000-03:00I love the Nightwing poster thingy.

Which is why Batman Confidential is even more of a crushing disappointment.<BR/><BR/>I am looking forward to Green Arrow: Year One. I like to think that B.C. was just a slip. Plus, the next arc (not by Diggle) looks possibly even worse. I wouldn't give up on Diggle just yet.rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06180614738344530538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586138.post-4752857508936291372007-06-19T01:26:00.000-03:002007-06-19T01:26:00.000-03:00If you're a fan of the Composite Superman, you sho...If you're a fan of the Composite Superman, you should seek out <B>World's Finest</B> (first series) #283-284, in which the Legion shows up to take on ol' C.S.

I saw the HC solicitation and was like "Are they freaking serious?" There was nothing to like about that series - it's an embarrassment to comics.<BR/><BR/>Does Diggle write anything good, or should I just avoid all books with his name on them? (If you are reading this Andy - sorry for the harsh words, but that story was... not good). The artwork was also really bad.<BR/><BR/>Hey, while I'm here... I love reading your blog.
