Love how you use your platform to promote comics and comic book stores in general! Absolute Batman is on my pull list, and I can’t wait to read it. Getting your perspective on recent trends in the industry would be wonderful. Insight into how your scripts or collaboration style changes as you work with different fantastic artists would be insightful as well.

Absolute Batman was everything I hoped for and more. I am loving Chip’s run on the mainline but absolute is the best new comic I’ve read this year. My only complaint is I didn’t have the self control to wait for a few issues were out before I bought this one

HUGE Absolute-Bruce-sized congrats to you and the crew, Scott, on the swell (swole) response to ABSOLUTE BATMAN #1. Really pumped to see how you establish the characters and the world, can’t wait to see where you take it in future issues. Couldn’t resist the Midtown Panosian cover(s)…

Don’t know if it’s possible on this…maybe moreso on one of your creator-owned…but it’d be cool to see an evolution of script to early art to finished page. Could be really instructive to see one…or some… examples of initial script scenes and how they led to finished pages.

As for topics for posts, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on the kinds of characters and stories that seem to be resonating with readers these days, from the fresh takes in the ABSOLUTE titles to the innovative new DSTLRY stories to the postmodern takes in the MINOR THREATS titles at Dark Horse to what Tom Brevoort & Co are doing on the FROM THE ASHES X-Titles.

And, again, ABSOLUTE-ly thrilled for you!

Hey Scott, did you already send out the email for best jacket members about the NYCC breakfast? I didn’t see anything in my inbox

Ordered all my copies.

Will you still be doing the 2 book signing for members to send in that was originally planned?

I'm not near any of the comic shops you have mentioned.

Thanks

I already got my Dan Panosian variant for Absolute WW #1. I couldn't pass it up.

I'm so excited for next week to go to the LCS and feel the buzz that's been missing for a while.

I'm also happy to see the hype cycle start for Absolute Wonder Woman...which makes me want to see what's to come for Absolute Superman. Every time I learn more about these books, I get more into it.

I'm not just a hype-fanboy. I swear. I'm genuinely excited!
