Mister Miracle #8Batman #45 Superman #45 (dropping this as I don't care for Bendis' mainstream superhero work) Batman: Creature of the Night #3 (totally an elseworlds book even DC doesn't call them that anymore) Lazarus #27 **** Shawn: I was getting Batman but decided to drop it. I don't really care for Tom King's story.
****
Adam: His story in ACTION COMICS #1000 was quite good. His BATMAN run has been mostly awful.

I have the exact opposite reaction to King's Batman stuff. Other than the first story line which I didn't particularly care for (the Gotham girl one) I think it's the best it's been in years. I also like how many one and done stories he's done while writing Batman. No trade waiting here. But I can see how it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea. I felt the same way about Scott Snyder's run that you guys feel about King's. I didn't get the praise and dropped it because I thought it was terrible. I still haven't read anything by Snyder that I've thought was particularly great though I thought The Wake was better than his Batman stuff at least. On the other hand, the last issue of Mister Miracle by Tom King brought me to tears.
