Steve, I think it was the name too. People misread it as Superboy & the Raiders, and well the Raiders are evil.:)

The problem with “Superboy and the Ravers” was the title—nobody liked it. I wanted to call it “Superboy and 32 Funny Cars”, but my proposal wasn’t given the consideration is deserved.

I don’t know the last one you mention, but the other two were superhero comics under the other genre trappings, which probably explains why they were at Wildstorm.

"...Meanwhile, Wildstorm gets 'This is WildStorm'. Well, yes, and? Is that supposed to be a substitute for having some kind of brand identity, which WildStorm is sorely lacking?..." Good question. I'm not sure why series like Ex Machina and miniseries like North 40 and Red Herring (all good, BTW :) ) came out under the Wildstorm imprint instead of the Vertigo imprint. Anyone know?

re: Dark Knight

I am seriously burned out on Batman. Does that art remind anyone else of 90s era Bisley with the tree trunk sized arms and legs or is it just me? I’ll pass on this one.

Add me to the list of folks who liked Ravers. It felt like a fun way to try to recapture the LEGION magic, but for the new Superboy. It was never as good as I wanted, but I read the entire series anyway.

That’s often the case with Karl Kesel’s work, at worst, it’s something I like, but wish was great (and at best, it’s something I love!)

Ha! Yeah, it wasn’t that great, but it was fun, and I miss that light-hearted teen team approach.

Johanna,

I can’t believe it! I have finally found something from the world of comics we can agree upon–I kinda liked Superboy and the Ravers as well!!! Yeah, maybe we can start up a SatR chat, or you could make a new page dedicated to it, and we can use your professional connections to get a killer proposal sent to DC to revive it and…

Sorry, got kinda caught up there. It wasn’t that great a series (though I did enjoy it at the time), but I was so stoked that I have something I can agree with you upon! : )

I am also looking forward to the Greatest Batgirl Collection (Barbara as Batgirl is my all time favorite DC Super Heroine) and my 10 year old will be getting Tiny Titans!

I’m very excited about the Batgirl collection. The standouts for me are Detective Comics #359, her “Million Dollar Debut”, and Legends of the DC Universe #10-11. The latter features “Folie a Deux” from 1998 a story by Kelley Puckett about Barbara Gordon and Jim Gordon. It also has lovely art by Terry Dobson.
