Comic Books
A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.
Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.
There is only one rule:*
Comic Books is a no judgement zone.
You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.
If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.
* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(
I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

Ah you've cracked the code! Well I'll have to pick one up for sure lol.
Thanks for bringing the comic to my attention in the first place! I agree that the concept sounds so wild that I have to have it. That bat-family-detective inspired itch got me scratching until I dug into the credits. I vaguely remembered a buddy had a Batman Noir edition of something but didn't confirm until today that I didn't imagine it and it was the Noir edition of The Dark Knight Returns (which I guess is right at home for Frank Miller).
The TDKR Noir was pretty cool too! I think color does a lot to sell the scope of the world, stories, uniforms, etc., but seeing just the pencils and ink makes the art really stand out in a different way.
