DORK NOTE: This movie looks like its going to be wild! Normally I wouldn't see something like this, but director Greta Gerwig has earned credits to spend with me - so I might check this out!

LANTERNS
LANTERNS is something... I didn't hate it. but wanted to like it more than I did. Solid casting (I liked Kyle Chandler's version of Hal and thought Aaron Pierre was an excellent John Stewart)... but the GL suit was 'meh' and the writing did Hal Jordon wrong in a couple of ways. Also have mixed feelings about how they treated Alfred Bester's GL oath (even though I know there have been different oaths before).

Batman: Justice Year
Batman: Justice Year is a new project by Joshua Williamson & Bruno Redondo. The series will focus on the early days of the relationship between Batman and the JL.
Curiosity piqued! Loving the art and hoping this is as good as Batman: Dark Patterns.
COOL TRAILERS: ARNOLD, HITMAN, and SANTA - OH MY!
DORK NOTE: Here are some of the WTF Christmas movies coming out this Fall/Winter! Arnold is back as Santa looking for his sack, a who dat Hitman home for the holidays, bloody as hell Kringle family holiday, and a return to a very Violent Night with a hot sexy Mrs. Claus!

TPB A DAY 24: The Deviant - YAY!
SPECIAL EDITION SUNDAY: I didn’t just read one TPB - I read the entire series (Volumes 1–2).
YAY - I'm not usually one for serial killer stories, but there are exceptions, and this series is definitely one of them! I can absolutely see why it won an Eisner! The online description sums it up perfectly: "Hannibal meets Silent Night, Deadly Night in this pitch-black holiday horror story that cuts right through our most unspoken cultural taboos."
This series was incredibly easy to slip into and kept me engaged from beginning to end. I was completely immersed in the story, never once feeling like it strayed from its intended path. The interior artwork perfectly captured the tone and emotional beats, delivering exactly what the story needed to hit as hard as it did.
I also appreciated the underlying commentary on a criminal justice system that too often fails to uncover the truth, allowing bias and prejudice to dictate outcomes instead of pursuing genuine justice.
My only stupid minor complaint is that the trade paperback covers don't do the series justice. The Deluxe Edition cover is awesome, but the individual TPB covers feel pretty lackluster in comparison. A small gripe for an otherwise fantastic series!

DORK PLAN: I’m going to read one TPB a day from my 5,000+ strong TPB collection. I’ll post the one I read here the next day with a YAY or NAY, and maybe a line or two about what I thought. NOTE: Got a TPB you want me to read? Drop it in the comments! If I have it, I’ll give it a review.
