How have I never thought of this usually playing anything in the background is too distracting but this might be it

Batman: Dark Patterns is out in trade and about as good a Batman project as I’ve ever read.

Was gonna pick up the floppies but ended up trade waiting it. Def gonna pick it up

Lowkey been doing this for hella long. I always played Beautiful Lie by Hans Zimmer anytime I read Bats stuff. And then if I read sci-fi I used to have the Stranger Things intro on loop.

What yall usually play?

I got it on low volume usually and once you get used to it, its a peak experience fr

When DC Rebirth came out, I read the one shot with Beautiful Lie playing, and it made the experience f***in insane lol

When the new 52 batman run came out I was playing the Hans Zimmer TDK ost and the dark knight returns animated movie ostracized. And coordinated the pages with the right tracks amazing experience

That sounds goated bro Zimmer dont miss at all. I wasnt reading when New 52 came out but I can only imagine how dope it was reading Snyder's run month to month. Truly a classic

Absolute Batman

Don’t sleep on Batman and Robin: Year One

rip readcomicsonline :(

Hickman on x-men again

Im assuming this is Marvel's attempt at their own absolute universe? Thats what I got from it. Just funny bc they already had the damn ultimate line smh

Yup. Absolute skews darker while this skews explicitly towards horror.

Just finished book 1 of Preacher by Garth Ennis. F***ing awesome.

Currently on my pull…

Absolute Green Arrow
Absolute Batman
The Punisher by Benjamin Percy
Batman by Matt Fraction

Really want a virgin AB 16

Deluxe editions of Absolute Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman coming April 2027.

going to start reading those next year

Im in the minority here but the first Fraction Batman arc/collection didn't really connect with me. The art alone made it worth a read but some of the whimsy felt-forced and It probably could've done a better job onboarding newer readers as to what's currently going on in Batman/Wayne's world (heh). My complaints aside, I'll definitely give the second collection a read when it drops in a few months.

If you haven't already, def read Waid's Batman and Ronin: Year One and Watters' Dark Patterns though. They'll be talked about for years to come and are available on Hoopla.

Dark Patterns is really good! I liked it a lot.

I’m also all caught up on Something is killing the children. That s*** is amazing! Def recommend it

I randomly decided to give Tynion's stuff a few days back! Any recommendations besides Exquisite Corpses (which I've already downloaded)? They pulled all the Boom! stuff from Hoopla so Im going to have to use Libby to read Something is Killing the Children.

I just downloaded Exquisite Corpses to my PC. I’ve heard it’s good so I’m gonna give that a try. Something killing the children is a must. I haven’t done much research on what else he’s done tbh
