- I honestly think Jeph Loeb may be the worst writer in comics today, full stop. His name on a comic serves much the same purpose as a little green sticker of a scrunched-up face with a stick-out tongue serves on a bottle of Liquid Plumbr, which is to say "Keep away from eyes."
- One of my artist pals calls Tim Sale "The Man Whose Pencils Clearly Don't Have Erasers," and I gotta agree, his stuff always looks to me like he got it wrong the first time, shrugged, and declared it good enough for government work.
- Batman is kind of an asshole.
Reading it in one sitting, however, underlined a particularly useless conceit in Loeb's dialogue, of which I began to keep count: How often does a pre-Two-Face Harvey Dent make ominously foreshadowed references to duality and the number two?
You know how I mean, when the letterer bolds up the important word, so it gets better impressed. How often do you imagine that happened in The Long Halloween...?
QUITE A FUCKING LOT IS HOW OFTEN.
