So, Colin Smith was kind enough to invite me back to contribute another guest post for his final goodbye to Too Busy Thinking About My Comics, and I decided to squander take the opportunity to talk about the fondly remembered, but largely overlooked, Batman vs Predator...
Yeah, yeah, I know what people are thinking, but I've hopefully staked my claim that it's actually a little gem of a series - by Dave Gibbons and Andy and Adam Kubert, no less! - that's really worth a second look. You can read the post over at Too Busy Thinking now (or click the image above, if you prefer).
And, just because, here's a little something related to the post that's also largely overlooked and forgotten: Batman: Dead End...
The guest post is actually rather bittersweet, seeing as Colin's chosen to close the blog down and pursue other, paying, opportunities, but I'm glad I could participate in his farewell series of posts, even in just a small way. Personally, I'll be sorry to see the blog go; ever since Bryan Coyle introduced me to Too Busy Thinking, I've enjoyed reading Colin's thought provoking and articulate posts; his consistently in-depth looks at comics and graphic novels were - and are - a change from the usual reviews you find on mainstream comic websites. And, more than a few times, his posts made me look at how I approach storytelling in a different light.
Of course, Colin took some time out to talk to myself and Bryan about Babble during the PR run for the book; it was a thoroughly enjoyable chat and I hope we can do it again for another blog or publication for a new project. The interview can be found at Too Busy Thinking here, if you're interested in reading it. You can find the man himself over on Twitter, too @Colin_TBTAMC.
I think, though, I'm going to end this with a picture that Colin ended his closing the blog announcement with, but also one that reminds me of his amazing and impressive 4 part look at Superman: Earth One and All Star Superman (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4) and is a sentiment we should all remember:
