I haven't had time to pick it up yet Chris. Between the holidays and the fact that we just moved...I'm all backwards!
You know I loved your pencil work, though!

Thanks for the kind words, everybody. I wasn't just fishing for compliments. I was curious to hear specifics of what people thought of the story or the art. We had a great fill in script by J Torres this issue, and I try different things art-wise every issue. I'm always interested to read what people like or don't. Feel free to get into the panel-by-panel nitty gritty, people.
BTW - I'm currently working on #20, my eighteenth issue. I can't believe I've done 18 of these things already!

Well, I have to say so far I find nothing to be a problem I'll look over a few issues and see Chris .

Well it doesn't HAVE to be about finding problem, although I'm certainly open to comments both good and bad. When you're reading an issue, if you find yourself thinking "that's a great line", "I love this panel", "I like the way they're portraying Bruce," or even "what's up with Alfred's moustache on page 4?," that's the kind of thing I'd love to hear!

Oh I see I really liked page 15 in #7 when Batman is fighting Mr. Freeze I also like what Mr. Freeze said. He told Batman how his death would be in great detail but, then Batman busts out of the ice. I also like page 15 in #1 as well where Yin says Kabuki is 19th century. That was funny to me. Also page 20 where Bruce sees his mother and father's grave, where his eyes gleam with saddness and I really like the quote he said. I thought the same thing when my friend died," Do you think they know how much I miss them?" Great Chris I really will be looking in #17 I will have detail for each page.

Hey Chris great job on Hit and Run! I just wanted to say I loved the title page on page 2. Specifically the bat symbol with the title over it. It harkens back to the comics of the 80's I use to read that had the same bat symbol with Batman written over it.

I love referencing those great 70's and 80's logos. They're from the comics that introduced me to the character and made me fall in love with Batman in the first place...

I harassed Chris about doing one that says Batman for us to use! It'd look amazing. Hey, doesn't hurt to ask right? lol

I noticed that Batsymbol as well I loved that I also agree Matt that we should get our own Bat logo. If Chris made one for us that would be awesome . By the way Chris I reserved 3 Batman Strikes #17's 1 to collect, 1 to read, and 1 to experiment with. I'll make one of the pages panels my signature thanks Chris (the wait is finally over Riddler has returned) this should cheer me up . Here's a hero!

"I harassed Chris about doing one that says Batman for us to use! It'd look amazing."
Hey Matt, what was it you were wanting? That logo with the Matsuda Batman head and "BAT MAN" instead of "HIT and RUN"? Or do you want one that says "THE BAT MAN"? Or LEGIONS of GOTHAM?

Chris Chris...depends on how much time you have (I know thats VERY little) one that says LEGIONS of GOTHAM would be ideal...and one that says The Batman if you had time. If you did find time to make it..I wonder if Melissa would color it for us hey, doesn't hurt to ask, right? ;D

I'll hopefully have time to stop off at the comic shop, and score it on Wednesday, so I can post either that night or on Thursday about it w/ a scan or two. And yeah, Riddler thats the logo I'm referring to. Isn't it fantastic? I absolutely love the way Chris incorporates so many classic homages into his work.

Man oh man Matt this is so exciting we in the U.S. haven't seen Riddler since September 10th in "Night In The City" it's so nice to see Riddler again. Yeah I do like that Bat-Head symbol it reminds me of the 'Batman' covers symbol (from the 80's) it's awesome. Here is some more good news my friend Mike Tierney also seen in "Comic Book Price Guide #35" owns the comic shop I go to and he infromed me that this issue might not last long on the shelves seeing everyone wants it luckily I reserved one. Wait a second isn't Terry's birthday tommorow!!??!!
