I believe in... sitting down and having a nice cup of tea.
I spent an inordinate amount of today dedicated to an upcoming post wherein I look at Two-Face: Year One, the first major look at Harvey's origin since The Long Halloween. Did I say "look at"? I meant "tear the frell apart."
Then, I tracked down an interview with the author to promote the book's imminent release. And damn it, my heart's just not in it anymore. The guy just seemed to have such high hopes for the series, y'know? So I'm gonna try to be a bit more measured and considerate in my eventual post.
I'm also weighing the options on whether or not I should post about Long Halloween. I mean, is there anyone here who hasn't already read it? It's such an overexposed, overvalued story that the most I could really do with it is focus on what it does with Harvey and Gilda's relationship, and why the ending doesn't make one goddamn lick of sense.
But in both cases, I'd rather devote my time on this blog to celebrating the character's greatness and showcasing odd and obscure stories that receive little to no recognition. That's the real fun of doing this. After so many years of being a fanboy, I have so little energy devoted to negativity and harsh criticism nowadays.
Eh, no wonder I'm exhausted. Here, have this tidbit by Evan Dorkin:
Discuss. Whatever you'd like to discuss.
