I love Snyder's run, but something bothered me with it that I only figured out when I started reading his All Star and going back to bronze age Batman. It's taking Morrison's metaphysical take on Batman and losing all the fun Morrison drew from the older Batman eras. I feel like people who say Snyder was continuing what Morrison was doing are missing the mark. Morrison's Batman was metaphysical and had gravitas, but it was also fun and willing to admit a guy dressed like a bat beating up bad guys and being the smartest person in the universe is a loopy premise, have fun with it. Batman has a base on Pluto now and an international team of Batmen.
I agree with your opinion about all star batman, I got bored, I did not finish reading it. Your recommendations are always very accurate and I have full confidence in them.
Monster Men might have seemed worse to those of us who encountered it in our weekly floppy pulls interrupting the other story lines and changing the tone of things.
Now see Jess, I thought Night of the Monster Men was pretty much universally hated, too, and then a few people whom I trust came forward and told me they thought it was a blast. So it really is important to remember just how subjective comics can be, particularly when you're dealing with talented creative teams. Just because a lot of people don't like does NOT mean it's bad. Another good video!
Great video! I'm right there with you, I really enjoyed Monster Men, and read it in floppies when it came out. Also Tom King's Batman run has been getting a lot of hate, and i can't figure out why cause i thinks it's brilliant, even better than Snyder's in my opinion.
Great review as always...when you say Supersons is all ages is that a stamp of guarantee, my 7 year old really wants more modern comics but its so hard for me to find all ages comics that aren’t super simple and shallow.
I like the picks you did. I want to say that i enjoy subjective reviews and i like that people don't share the same opinions as me. This is the only way i can see what books may be of interest to me. If i get mad at someone for disliking a book i like, i might as well make videos of myself and watch me, and we all know how boring that actually is. You would be surprised that even negative reviews can help me decide to buy a book anyway.
Batman Night of the Monster Men was a great story that i enjoyed reading it. I never read All Star Batman because i really don't like the current John Romita Jr art. I think his 80s art is much better than his current one.
The unparalleled art and the fact that batman’s there has sold me alone for the batman rebirth HC. Are you going to have to read any earlier material before reading this book or it’s fine?
the artwork was beautiful but I was not a fan of the writing plus it never finished. Not my favorite Batman story lol. There's a lot more stuff to recommend before that.
@@OmnidogsVault thank you for your response 😊 all star batman and ROBIN,regardless of not being finished, is my favorite run in all of comics! Its 80's B action movie extravaganza is simply marvelous entertaining in my humble opinion,its one of the best satire 😊 for my buck&a beer.
mancave THEATER it depends on the books i think. Miller wrote some fantastic books but wrote some really bad stuff too. Moore has more books that I consider personal favorites.
Thank you for reviewing all the rebirth titles! I gotta get some of these! :D

That is an excellent observation! Very interesting take!

ah, ok, that makes sense
Just learned about your channel from Earl Gray. Loving the haul and the reviews.

right you are, Josh! I'm glad I took a chance on it!
I literally ordered the Batman Deluxe Edition immediately after this video. Thanksss
nice!!

I think Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur and Super Sons are two good choices for a 7 year old. Not too complex, but deep enough to be very interesting!
ok thanks for the info. Will definitely be getting these

Good points!
Supersons is absolutely phenomenal. Great review for all the books Jess! I'd like to hear your thoughts on New-Superman and Deathstroke.
will be reading those books soon! And thanks for watching!!
Monster men was Ok. Nothings spectacular, but good!
Supersons is just amazing!!
Have you reviewed Superman Rebirth?? If you have mot, that is my pick!
Superman was the first review I did of Rebirth!! What kind of fan are you anyway?!?! lol
I take it "Night of the Monster Men" isn't collected in Batman Rebirth Vol 1?
Just the two issues from Batman 7 & 8 are in Batman vol 1
thanks for another awesome video! are you going to get the jack Kirby new gods omnibus? I'm going to get the Tom king batman for sure
I am getting the Kirby omni, it will be an enormous book!
Batman Night of the Monster Men was a great story that i enjoyed reading it.
I never read All Star Batman because i really don't like the current John Romita Jr art.
I think his 80s art is much better than his current one.
Hi Jess
Another grate video :)
just wondering if you have read the Star wars Kanan Hardcover , did you like it
Thanks! I did read it and I liked it a lot!!
The unparalleled art and the fact that batman’s there has sold me alone for the batman rebirth HC. Are you going to have to read any earlier material before reading this book or it’s fine?
Cosmic Turner it might help to wiki the New52 run but you should definitely read the Rebirth Deluxe
Great video. Just picked up Superman and Titans from rebirth so I was just wondering what else would you recommend from rebirth?
Batman, Detective, Wonder Woman
May I get your thoughts on All Star Batman and ROBIN the boy wonder by miller&Jim lee?
the artwork was beautiful but I was not a fan of the writing plus it never finished. Not my favorite Batman story lol. There's a lot more stuff to recommend before that.

mancave THEATER I’m glad you enjoyed it!
@@OmnidogsVault last question because I dont want to wear out my welcome lol who do you prefer more,miller or moore?
mancave THEATER it depends on the books i think. Miller wrote some fantastic books but wrote some really bad stuff too. Moore has more books that I consider personal favorites.
Fun stuff, thx for the review & have a great day.
I prefer Detective Comics over Tom King's Batman.
So far Tom King has been a very overrated writer in my eyes.
