    did anyone pick this up? i did awhile ago but read it over my trip to denver this weekend. fun story. haven't read his green arrow run but now i want to. i like Onomatopoeia, seems interesting. this was a cool story cuz i guess he is gunning for bats now, and definitely seems like something else should be coming after this, but who knows if it will happen or how long it will take...

    I thought the first two issues were pretty rotten so I passed on the third. Bit of a boring stinker, I thought.

    Read the first issue and enjoyed it very much despite Batman seeing a little out of character. Didn't know the last two were out, so I'm gonna go check them out if I can.

    I think we had a thread for this when the first issue came out. I still think that Batman was pretty out of character, as well as Joker. I also thought that most of the first issue was Smith showing off by letting us know that he knows a lot of Batman's enemies.

    As for the story itself, it was ok, but the end felt kinda rushed. It wasn't as satisfying of an end as it could have been.

    yeah, i agree DR, that's why i think he's got something else planned...he seems to have a story to tell...just wish they would announce it and get it turned in and done...really feels like a 2nd part should be coming up.

    After Black Cat and Daredevil the Target, I will never pick up anything Smith writes ever again.


    Green Arrow was excellent though. I highly recommend it.

    His GA run literally made me a fan of the character. Some of my favorite comic book stuff.
