BATMAN: LEVIATHAN

Posted on June 20, 2023 by giqwp

“The events of this issue take place before FLASHPOINT and the new 52.”

Grrrr.

Batman, Inc. was in my view the best grant Morrison Batman story because “Batman & Son.” It was odd and typically nonlinear, but not so much so as to be aggravating or hopelessly confusing. It was full of Bat-trivia, but not so obscure that I felt like I was being left out of the joke. and it portended big BIG changes for Batman.

Then Flashpoint came. DC promised that Morrison’s Batverse was still canon.

Then the last two issues of Batman, Inc. disappeared, put on hold for several months during the new 52 hype. and now, at last, the last two issues arrive as a $6.99 one-shot.

But there’s that caveat: “The events of this issue take place before FLASHPOINT and the new 52.”

So, basically, DC lied to us, which we all kinda knew anyway. Morrison’s Batman is not canon. and his upcoming

12-issue Batman: Leviathan series, which promises to put a period, once and for all, at the end of the incredibly decompressed Batstory that Morrison has been thoroughly crafting for 5 years, will arrive in 2012 and…Will it matter?

I’ll still read it, because a good story is a good story, but I’ll be damned if I’m pleased about it.

How was the issue, though? worth $6.99?

The answer is: yes and No. yes if you purchased the first 8 issues, no if you didn’t. It wrapped up several loose threads, answered some questions, gave a subtle shout out to Nick Spencer’s fantastic indie book “Morning Glories” (see picture at right) and provided a hallucinogenic kind of locked-room-mystery, a type of tale that Morrison has spun several times in his years on Batman.

And it’s got hot ninja chicks. Gotta mention that.

It’s the kind of book you’ll want (need) to reread a few times before you’ve really got a hold on it.

Just like a Morrison book should.

I can’t wait for Batman: Leviathan in 2012, even if DC has completely torked up its continuity and relevance.

DETROIT REBELLION-Fork in the road (EP)

Posted on May 23, 2023 by giqwp

Detroit Rebellion are from Providence, RI. No concept why these two people named themselves after the motor City.

Whenever you get a rock-and-roll duo of drums as well as guitar, you always get shades of crunch, smidgens of The White Stripes…But there’s not as well much of that here. filthy Boots as well as The Fire, The Devil, as well as wish taste a bit like that, however the lead track–Fork in the Road–sounds a great deal like talking Heads.

And the simple lo-fi creep of nothing To lose is tight as well as mournful.

Great, fantastic stuff.

The single is free, as well as well worth your eartime.

FUTURE former RAPPER by ZILLA ROCCA

Posted on May 22, 2023 by giqwp

Rap is about swagger. So it’s extremely unusual to discover an album about providing up. as well as yet, that seems to be the message of underground rapper Zilla Rocca’s latest album, “Future former Rapper.”

Let me explain. The Philly emcee has been around for a decade, respected among heads as well as having a great Web presence, however never rather breaking through. When he started, he was a hungry, scrappy up-and-comer looking for his shot. Now, he’s older. He has a kid. He has a family. He needs a routine income. His buddies have gotten busted or disappeared. “Thirty years old as well as you never had a breakthrough. now you can’t leave.” What do you do when you feel like there’s more in the rearview than the front? When you feel like everybody is biting you, however you’re not getting the cred for your own ideas?

It’s an fascinating concept, as well as it has me wondering if this is Zilla’s last hurrah? If so, it’s not his finest album, however it’s a great one–and it’s extremely interesting.
