So nobody reacted, so I'll mention it one more time. We've got around 700 comics to finish before we're done.

And suddenly, the Heroes for Hire are stealing Batman villains.

>>84319206
The last issue you ran yesterday had a lot of high quality wide shots, like that panel where they were boarding the helicopter.

>And who's this fucker?
Noclops?

>>84319372
I think the Major Bat-arsonist at this point was still Firebug.

My knowledge of Batman is limited to the Morrison run, that Neal Adams Omnibus on my shelf, and the various cartoons. I'll probably go on a Batman marathon eventually, but it's a low priority because it mixes with other Batman books and that's a pain in the ass.

Apparently it's Crime-Buster. Busiek came back just in time to prove that he could make a villain with a name even lamer than "Doombringer".

>>84319434
As much as I want to, I already feel bad for pussying out of looking for Genis-Vell's "Legacy" appearances when I did him at the beginning of the year. If we skip Bendis, that means we're going from the 90's Heroes for Hire series to Ewing's Mighty Avengers. For better or worse (and it's obvious which), Bendis is responsible for most of modern Cage.

And Jeryn is still being a curmudgeon.

>>84319991
>I always liked her way more than Gwen friggen Stacy.

Well, Gwen Stacy is more Jackal-relevant, because he was way into forcing his grad students to love him.

But fuck Slott. He abandoned competence to write Spider-Man.

Pencils and Inks, yeah, mostly.
Might be a bit sketchier pencils, with the inker filling in more than usual though.

Like, sometimes you even get Breakdowns, Pencils, and Inks, if you have someone like storyboarding the book.

Also, Danny is faster than Super-speed. That roundhouse kick would have worked the same as his spinning.
