The Story: Batman: Earth One, written by Geoff Johns, is exactly what you expect. It retells Batman’s origin story in a way to keep it familiar while changing up things just enough to seem a little different. It not in anyway a bad comic, but better stories have been told of this period of Batman’s career.
The Price: I used store credit (and my discount) at my local comic shop to purchase this book so the cover price of $22.99 was agreeable for me. In fact looking at my recent purchases on my Bat-related book shelf I notice that it is a few bucks less for a few pages less than all of them.
The Format: I like the hardcover trade format. I like it more when they are over-sized like DC Comics has done with some of Grant Morrison’s recent Bat-books, but even at standard size I enjoy them more than a normal trade paper back (TPB). My complaint about Batman: Earth One’s format is that it does not read like a “graphic novel” as I thought it should, but instead it reads like the first TPB of a new Batman series. This might just be my individual expectations not being met more than anything else.
Finally, the DC Comics 52 relaunch is over and we, as well as the sales figures (jab), can get back to normal. Shawn and Adam discuss some final thoughts on month one of the relaunch including ups and downs as well as what they came away with. Just perhaps a few guests will drop in for a say too.

Just before the dawn of Batman Odyssey the Dollar Bin gang (plus a silent mystery guest) sat down with the “Living Legend” Neal Adams to catch a glimpse into the life of the man himself as well as a sneak peak of his upcoming series. Now that the series is a few issues in we feel it may be safe to spill the beans. This episode takes place halfway through the interview. To know what you missed listen to the first half, duh.

Art by Chrissie ZulloWhile at the New York Comic Convention 2010 I sat one full panel. That panel was Vertigo: On the Edge. Why that panel? Chrissie Zullo. While there I say along side CBR reporter, Karl Kelly. He was recording the panel for his notes, so I thought I’ll record this thing from the audience guerilla style and see what I get.
