It's probably hard to write or pencil a monthly comic around all of those convention appearances, variant covers, and Dynamic Forces autographed comics. Those are the real obligations.

I was asking out of actual curiosity, that's all. "Mail"
can mean any number of things these days, and I
was interested in how Jason was reading all of
Morrison's comics. No antagonism or coal-raking
intended.
And I'm sure that we've all bought or read stuff from
creators with less-than-perfect track records (based
on our own personal opinions), but most people
don't keep spending money on a creator that lets
them down consistently with every project.
**
I knew that All-Star Superman was coming out less
than monthly, but didn't know it was hitting comic
shops that sporadically. It's currently my favorite
ongoing series, so I just buy it whenever it shows up
at the comic shop. It's not tied into any other series,
isn't holding anything else up if it doesn't ship, and
I'm never really expecting to see a new issue when I
hit the shop on Wednesday, so it's an unexpected
bonus when it shows up. As I said before, I don't
read Previews, so I never really know when the
non-regular stuff is supposed to show up in stores
anyway.

Ah, sorry about that then. Disregard any potential bile in my last few posts.

No problem. What's a little bile between message
board posters, anyway?

ALL-STAR SUPERMAN #4 was delayed and eventually was out 6/21/06. #5 which was supposed to be in July, will be out this week, at the end of the month. While delayed, it's not exactly four months.

No, that was #3--hit stores on the last week of December, really.
#4 came out in May.

Ugh, what a mess trying to track down the release dates of each issue of a "monthly" title.

The lateness of All*Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder is
incredibly irritating. I haven't heard of any apology for or explanation of
the delay from Bob Schreck, Frank Miller or Jim Lee. Maybe Mike Marts's
appointment to the line might turn things around.
*************************
Jim Lee did say that he has the first 6 scripts of All-Star Batman and its his fault that the book is late. Can't find the link,but it was in Newsarama.

Jason, I'm just curious. I haven't noticed Morrison taking an shots at superheroes in All Star Superman (certainly nothing on the level of the New X-Men scene, or even the scene in Batman).

I really do not mind the fact that All-Star Superman doesn't come out every month, 'cause it's so good. I think I might drop All-Star B+R, tho.

To clarify, Batman in DARK KNIGHT RETURNS does break the Joker's neck. Meaning, the Joker was never going to walk again. His suicide is by finishing the break, severing the spinal cord completely, probably at the base of his neck since Batman has just spent a page playing spin the bottle with the Joker's head.
Anybody have a scan?
It's interpreted wrongly (on Wikipedia, surprise!) that the Joker is killing himself to set up Batman for murder. I didn't get that. My understanding was the appearance of Batman brought the Joker from a "living death" of coma, and as the Joker has shot and stabbed Batman and done his best to kill him, the Joker "returns" to death as he's only alive when the Batman is there to "play". Since it looks like Batman is going to die, that's the Joker's cue that the game is over.
Besides that, Batman incinerates the body, and the proof of "murder". I wish I had it in front of me. Now I fear my memory is lapsing.
