I agree that Lanzing and Kelly showed they know the character(s) and I loved that the art shifts for each character. Just an odd book, but that's kind of what I like in Annuals!Jim Wernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307419602315578911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-65319196900033509032016-06-29T15:22:25.959-04:002016-06-29T15:22:25.959-04:00Pretty much "whelmed" with this Annual, ...Pretty much "whelmed" with this Annual, but I think it shows, at the very least, that Lanzing and Kelly do in fact have a better grip on the character than their showing in the final issues in the series. Without the constraints of King and Seeley's scripts they get to cut loose a bit, which works (mostly).<br /><br />I enjoyed most of the stories(with a minor quibble about the dialogue in the Constantine chapter), but my favorite was the Azrael tale, which showcases the heart of Grayson, not just his arse. Very well done!<br />The Harley Tale was cool , but I was hoping she would have known who he was immediately after kissing him, although I don't think that they've kissed in this continuity, I'd just like to think they crossed "paths" in her early days as Harley and his as Robin, would have been a cool twist.<br /><br />But for me the hero of this Annual is the art! I spent so much time lamenting the loss of Mike Janin, that its hard for me to appreciate just how cool different artists' renditions of my favorite character actually are. This issue puts it front and center, and I really appreciate their various takes on Agent 37.<br /><br />Completely unnecessary, but I agree it was a fun romp!<br /><br />Rock on!<br />-Ascent (formerly Fall)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
