If you can say anything about Curt, he sure is persistent. And once again, I do not think we have seen the last of him and his latest scheme.
I do like how Franka phrased it in this one. It may have been the Summer of Superman, but it is Batman all year round. Are there really 16 Bat-titles on the market right now? She might be right but that does sound like a high number. I do know that the Bat-Titles sell quite well and it has been a good year for it so far. We have Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee on the Hush series in the Batman book and Tom Taylor and mainly Mikel Janin on the Detective Series line. And of course Absolute Batman, which is absolutely destroying the marketplace right now from Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta. But still, it would be nice if we can get some of those other DC characters in there.
I have always had a soft spot for the classics like Spectre, Doctor Fate, Hawkman, Deadman and the like. I do wonder if Batman overshadows these other characters. The Comic Book business is tough at the moment so I suppose publishers want to invest in the sure thing and you cannot blame them. But I still wonder how long the Bat-Train will ride.
Some of you might have wondered where Franka went with the Thursday recommendations. They are still coming but as you can see from current events, her pencil, brush, and quill pen are busy putting together a portfolio with help from her girlfriend Barbara. We, at expatNERD, are definitely cheering them on.
That is it for now. Have a good week ahead.
