Shit artists? He's had Kubert, Williams, Daniel (who is good on art and only art), Quitely, Irving, Paquette, and Burnham.
You sound like a crazy person, sir.

Tony Daniel's early 90s Image art was ass, and sunk RIP, IMO. Terrible at action, terrible at panel-to-panel sequential storytelling, following Morrison's script(he drew an actual murder scene for Joker in the asylum instead of the metaphorical one Grant wanted), just bad.
Then you got 3 awful issues by Philip Tan on Batman and Robin, that one terrible issue with the nine-eyed guy, that REALLY bad issue by Scott Clark about the Internet 3.0, they replaced Cameron Stewart at the last minute for the Cowboy issue and it looked like horse shit...they've been some bad artwork in this run.
Luckily, Batman Inc has been mostly great on that front. And there's still quite a few issues drawn by some of the best artists in the business. But it aint been all sunshine and roses.

Picked up Collider and The Wake today. Needed some new interesting titles, and I've always liked Snyder's American Vampire series. Collider's concept was interesting. Will be reading them after work.

Fair enough. I honestly didn't mind Tony Daniel at all and managed to still enjoy the shit out of R.I.P. As far as errors in scripting, Grant himself says he enjoys when the art doesn't entirely mirror the script, errors and all.
And yeah, that internet issue was bad. Super bad.

Oh right, that really ugly Joker purple prose issue I really don't like. Looked like early 90s CG, like Reboot or some shit
RoBW was mostly straight, Sprouse, Irving, Paquette, Sook, those guys were great. Jeanty was ass, and I refuse to believe they couldn't have found somebody better for the finale then Lee Garbett.

Shame Quietly never came back for a few issues.

I truly love Irving's Joker. I think his art may be polarizing (is it, peeps?) but for me, he's top-tier and has never not made killer art. That said, Quitely is my favorite artist now and it more Quitely, especially with Morrison, is always a great thing.
Starting in on my books. Read Batman Inc and enjoyed it, but it wasn't as..."grand" as I was expecting. For this to be Morrison's last issue, it was very unstated compared to the last couple issues.
Quick question: What was the significance of
Quick question: What was the significance of
the open graves? Was it just "someone robbed the Waynes' graves, but that's a story for another time" or was there something else going on there?

The two graves were obviously supposed to be Talia and Damian, but it could have just as easily been his parents, metaphorically. "I looked into that hole in things over and over again until it hurt, Jim...and you know what I found there? Nothing...and a space big enough to hold everything." His parents death left a hole in Bruce that he will never fill, but will hopelessly try to fill forever.
Yeah, these were all guys I was thinking of when I said that. The bad stuff was REALLY bad imo.
Nah, Irving's Joker is the tits.
Weren't they
the graves of Talia and Damian
that the fight will never end and the whole thing will just go in a huge circle again and again, hence the ouroboros in the lower right hand corner of the last page
someone could pick it up but no one needs to because it doesn't need to be it's own story. It works the way it does
It will get picked up. We'll have a crossover event in Batman a year or two from now involving Ra's. It will spin off into all the bat family books as each character faces off against a Damien clone 
Yeah I understood the thematic sense of it all
(I don't think someone is really going to pick it up; just saying that's the idea Morrison was aiming at)
Of course, now that I think about it, it being Damian and Talia makes way more sense considering the last page. So that clears that up. lol

Retreading a lot of old and classic Batman and Hhhooollly shit, I seriously hate when artists give the Joker a super massive Jay Leno pointy chin. I'm cool with his face being weird but I hate when they give him a mutant look, really bugs me. That's also just me coming being new to comics in general though, maybe that's just my problem.
Also, Gordon talks about their graves about half way through the book. That's why he said that Bruce was wanted for murder.
Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this but can anyone recommend me some comic arcs. I used to read comics in the 90's, stuff like Spawn, Death of Superman arc (gonna read this again for the first time since its release), X-Men story when Proffessor X is killed.
I'm a fan of anime too and my favourite manga is Berserk but I'm looking for a non Japanese comic. I've got an iPad plus I'm in the UK so any pointers on where to buy comics is appreciated.

It works for me when Tim Sale does it, but that's it. Everyone else should not do it.
Yes, see, I'm realizing I just suck with details. lol

Another thing I liked about Batman Inc 13
was how generally pleased Ra's looked at the end. Despite what he's saying, he doesn't really give a shit about Talia or Damien dying. He's just happy he can continue his private game of cat and mouse with Batman.
Also, Talia mentioned having to watch her father die over and over again. I suppose it is sort of fitting that trying to step up and fill her father's shoes got her killed in the end.

A recurring motif of Morrison’s Batman works which culminates in #8 is Damian as a symbol for why proficiency, as polished and impressive as it might be, is not enough to embody the mantle of the Bat. Despite Damian’s hubris and exceptional skill, he is still only a child with a special case of naivete. Though precocious in many respects, his lack of compassion and altruism (qualities his father Batman, and the rest of the Bat-family possess) are his greatest encumbrances. Gotham City goes to hell in 666 world when he's Batman, and he dies here in the present despite his best intentions as well.
His mother Talia goes down a very similar road, as you noticed.

Yeah, that was really great. It feels like where Batman has kind of resigned himself to being Batman forever, Ra's is genuinely really pleased that their fight has resumed.
I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, but I also kinda liked the Zero Year reference Gordon drops. Very on the nose, sure, but I dug it.

Read both Batman annuals and enjoyed them both.
Read Collider and didnt really feel it. With pull list getting up there I dont know if I will continue. Especially if I like Trillium next week.

Are you looking for something being released right now, or just general Wolverine stories?
Is the Uncanny X-Men Vol. 4 series any good? It seems gimmicky, but I find it strangely intriguing, perhaps because I like Coipel's art and the nod to the throwback costumes.
I also really hate the Vol. labeling of series spinoffs, as I find the whole thing somewhat confusing, especially when collected editions are also using the Volume label.

I'm loving Ultimates at the minute.
If the rumors turn out to be true, and the universe does end after Hunger, with a few characters being carried over into regular continuity, then I really hope they move evil-Reed into 616. He's so awesome. I really love the stuff the artist is doing in portraying his stretching, with Reed just being this twisted, horrific thing that barely even tries to look human anymore.

Damn, Bats Inc was so good.
so far yea! But I love that whole team except Jubilee. (I mean she's alright, I don't hate her or anything like I do Gambit.)

Haven't gotten to it yet. Uncanny (XM), TMNT, and Guardians have all been pretty enjoyable, though.

For FF,
The 4th Wall Breaking was a little too much for me this week.It made Deadpool look subtle. Still a fun comic though.
I would hate to see Saga as a movie, but I can't shake the feeling that Alana and Marko look freakishly like Aisha Tyler and Zachary Levi. Especially Alana.
While I am at it. I am about to start reading the second trade of Saga. Dying to do so. But I would like to know when is the next actual issue coming out. Is it on a break? How many issues do I have to read after the second trade? I am loving this series and fear catching up.
Also I am reading Ultimate Comics Spiderman, I finished the 2nd trade and I love Miles as Spiderman. Please tell me that series is still going. They show
in the first or 2nd book. Where can I read more about those specific versions of the characters?
Did I see somewhere that there is an ultimates version of blade?

Just in general, like if there's a particularly well written/illustrated series.

Blade first pops up in Ultimate Spider-Man and later on in one of the Millar post-Ultimatum books. Ultimate Comics Avengers maybe? I don't know, the naming got dumb at that point.
