It's officially 2026 in all time zones, so it's the New Year of whatever you want to do. A "year one", if you will.
And that's me done for today. However, I do plan on going through all the "Year One" comics I can lay my hands on!
>page 10Hell no
>>151958016I really love the Year One storyline thanks OP
>>151958083>>151958018What’s most remarkable about year one is the pace. This shit would take a modern writer 6 issues, half a year, to do.
>>151958756To be fair it’s a low res storytime. If it was high quality digital files rather than scans (even though it’s a recolor) it might do better.

>>151958016I don't have to say it's a kino cover but it's a kino cover. Also the masthead/logo is probably one of my favorites. 80's books had a real bite to them with their slick, clean typefaces. Maybe sometimes a bit too simplistic sometimes but this works.>>151958053Man I forgot about Bruce smiling here. Always liked that about Miller Batman.>>151958053I wonder if this depiction of Selina hurt her over the long-run. I don't know much about Batman. Was this the depiction that a lot of runs and adaptations just stole from?>>151958136>Me on Little St. JamesJust know guys, if it was ME on THAT island, it wouldn't have gone down like dat. Dat's allImsayin' ;I>>151958178I'm surprised this page hasn't been parodied by scooby-doo.>>151959419Eh. OG coloring is more tolerable in low res than a recolor in hi-res.
>>151959419OP here:I prefer using original scans where possible for older comics, as I find digital recolours look a bit... off when viewed on a screen. However, as most comic book companies wouldn't really start using the "Year One" moniker until the mid-00s, you'll be pleased to know that the majority of my threads will be using digital rips, as that's all I could find (and tbf digital rips aren't nearly as jarring for 21st century comics anyway)>>151960062>I wonder if this depiction of Selina hurt her over the long-run.afaik, the whole "Selina was a dominatrix" bit has been politely ignored for the most part. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if the people who wrote Batman Returns didn't take some inspiration from Year One...
>>151960313I meant moreso her being worse off on a socioeconomic level which leads to writers doing the same shit with her all the time like being a prostitute or like always being blackmailed by a mob boss that she has to get away from. The same type of stuff like that with her not being a wealthy debutante. But I dunno maybe I'm getting the wrong impression and misremembering stuff. I guess I don't mind her liking being dominant but yeah Batman wouldn't be someone who I see enjoying that. He's Batman, so he's still that little kid who wants power. He wants to punish that burglar and never lose control again. But I can see Batman liking Catwoman being comforting to him. Just not y'know, dominant. Kinda splitting hairs somewhat but not really.
>>151958016Fun fact: when Max Allen Collins was writing Jason Todd’s new origin story, he asked if he could title it Robin: Year One. They told him no.
