Batman & the Mad Monk thread

[The Englishman]

I really hope he does another one and completes a trilogy.

Yeah, a trilogy would be nice. But I think I'm going to be a little more greedy than that. They should definitely give Wagner an ongoing that follows the early career of Batman. Wagner seems to write a very solid early Batman, so why fight it?

I read an Matt Wagner interview by Jett, I want to read this comic book from start but is it available in full graphic novel?

 

[Kraven]

Have you read Monster Men yet? That would probably be a good starting point if you want to read this mini. And I'm not sure when it'll be released in TPB.

 

[Two-Face]

After reading the interview, I'm interested to read.

 

[CConn]

Batman and the Monster Men is out in TPB.

Batman and the Mad Monk will be out in TPB in April.

 

[Two-Face]

Thanks CConn.

The end of Mad Monk has him talking about a warehouse with bodies, suggesting it's the one at the start of TMWL. So unfortunately I think this is over. Give him Batman Confidential I say.

Finally read the last of this run (I've been working like a very bored dog), and I must say that I loved it. Wagner really seems to know how to give a great "pay off" at the end of his stories, where other writers seem to be masters of anti-climax. I'd love to see Wagner's approach to the genisis of Robin.

For me, Batman is currently all about Wagner and Dini. Morrison is always interesting, but rarely gratifying. Like a girl with a nice smile but fat thighs.
