A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.
Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.
There is only one rule:*
Comic Books is a no judgement zone.
You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.
If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.
* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(
I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

Daniel Warren Johnson is a fucking genius and I love him, never thought I'd live to see Batman break some dude's arm while they're doing the mustache man salute and then literally hit an One-Winged Angel on a corrupt cop and turn his head and spine into silly putty. Hope Chuck Dixon had an aneurysm from this, lol!
Issue is Absolute Batman Annual #1.
This comic is essentially the origin of his no-kill rule in the Absolute Universe!
spoiler
Later on the comic, a priest that had saved him from those same white supremacists earlier comes to give first aid to them, and Batman asks him "why", and he responds with "It's just my way. You have yours". The thing is, this priest was good friends with Bruce's father, and he even protested for peace alongside him in various anti-war protests, and Bruce is like "well I don't think pops would like me killing people" while reflecting. I do think Bruce was going through Killer's Remorse there, which pretty much cemented his idea to never kill anyone again. Altho, as we see in the regular run, I don't think his pops said anything about not putting people in the ICU...I mean to be fair, he absolutely wrecks dudes in the Arkham games.
I still think this is his most fucking unnecessarily violent knockout he had on Arkham City lol. Like, man, you just used that woman as a lockpick AND THEN gave her a left orbital bone fracture and 35 concussions, you did not have to violate shawty like that 😭😭
they're sleeping!
