Here's a rare example of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo sucking!Calebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01391759187396994380noreply@blogger.comBlogger2125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-74417872947875315382014-01-13T15:19:12.837-08:002014-01-13T15:19:12.837-08:00I'm not a fan of the Snyder/Capullo run.
Ga...I'm not a fan of the Snyder/Capullo run. <br /><br />Gave the first volume a taste and was pretty happy with it, Snyder's needless swipes at/from Morrison's run aside-- mocking Professor Pyg as a second-rate villain in the opening scene / yet appropriating the Black Glove m.o. & plot for the Court of Owls... The art appealed to me particularly, more than Capullo had done in years! That is, until Bats was confined to the labyrinth. At which point I started having the same problem you're describing, layout-wise; moments when Capullo either got sloppy or too clever, a la JHWIII's moebius layout in Promethea, or Fábio Moon doing the double-page spread in Gula 2: the reading order went wobbly.<br /><br />It was at that point my suspension of disbelief began to falter. It failed when Wayne acted *completely* out of character by punching Dick Grayson to knock out a Clue Tooth. In subsequent scenes he was pompous & self-absorbed to extreme distraction, to say nothing of condescending. Bruce can be a dick, sure, but damn. NOT MUH BATGOD, as the kids say.<br /><br />(You know my feelings on the Nu Clown Prince of Grimdark.)<br /><br />I'm glad you enjoy it, but the appeal of Snyder eludes me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-50607010537881361982014-01-13T06:48:56.546-08:002014-01-13T06:48:56.546-08:00Wisdom, you speak.Wisdom, you speak.Aki Alaraatikkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11432612143247843259noreply@blogger.com
