Someone please explain Batman: Odyssey to Eric Reynolds: Fantagraphics’ Reynolds took to the publisher’s blog to ask “What the Hell is Going On Here?!” in a panel from Neal Adams’ current Batman limited series. Or, as Adams’ Bruce Wayne might say, “Um?”
Don’t forget Drawn and Quarterly!: As the end of the year nears and critics, bloggers and a whole lot of comics fans with Internet connections begin to think of the best comics they read during the past year in order to compile lists, D and Q provides a handy list of all the great comics they published during the last year. I personally haven’t been thinking about such things just yet, but Hicksville, Market Day, and Wilson sure were great, Make Me A Woman was a lot of fun, I always enjoy reading John Stanley comics, particularly when given D+Q’s slick production values, and man, I still have a lot of comics to catch up on…!

I don’ t like it: Entertainment Weekly unveiled the cover of the first True Blood collection with some fanfare. If you’re going to stick that close to the actors’ appearances, and render them that realistically, why not just go with a photo cover?
