I can't wait for tomorrow when #663 comes out! Finally, being new to Batman comics, I look forward to another Joker issue (my first being DC #826). As for this look at #666, what an appropriate story for this issue number. I hope Morrison continues with these great issues!

Knowing him, it may not be for a looong time. |

Well, as long as each of those ideas are as good as the past ones (Batman and Son, and the future ones all sound great), I'll be happy no matter how long Morrison is on. I just like the great stories and characters.

Anyone checked out Batman #663 yet? It was a weird one, and I'm not just talking about the format. The pictures are also scary...Joker is nuts, which we all knew but he's really nuts after having a bullet hit his head, man.

Whoa! #666 looks awesome! I can't wait to see what Damian is like as the future Batman. I also got issue 663. It was a very chilling experience, for sure. I hope this new creepy-as-Hell-even-way-moreso-than-before Joker will make follow-up appearances in this run, although I wouldn't necessarily want other writers to try writing him this way. I really enjoyed the format of this issue, but I'll be glad to get back to Kubert's art next time.  |

This Joker was very interesting, especially when he was "reborn." I also look forward to the next issue with Joker to see how he continues. However, I hope not all those scars are all remaining, they scary me  |

Has anyone gotten Batman #664 yet? The website says it's released but my comic store isn't carrying it. Of course, not long ago they released a Detective Comic before the DC site said it was out. I'm just checking to see if anyone's gotten it yet.

Wasn't really a big fan of the format for issue 663, I guess I am old fashion and think that monthly comics shouldn't be toyed with like that and they should go with the formula that has been used for years.
Don't get me wrong I am a HUGE Grant Morrison fan and I can't wait for 664....

When does it come out then? My comic store doesn't have it listed for this week either. My guess would be about mid-month, so I'll look around for sure come that time.

I read that #664 is now scheduled for March 28. Hopefully this book can be on a relatively normal schedule now.

I haven't read too many of his stories, mainly just these Batman issues, but I'd say he's great. I also know he did some work on 52. I didn't read it when it was coming out but I got the first TPB and thought it was great! Of course, several writers worked on 52.

Yeah, this is great news!
Guess what?
I finally located a comic book store near me! It's about 30 to 45 min. from where I live.
It holds new and old comics, so I might be able to scrounge up a couple of these "new back-issues" that my subscription will miss.
