Review: "Heads or Tails," the Two-Face segment from Walt Simonson's "The Judas Coin" (2012)

Four months have passed since the release of Walt Simonson's excellent new graphic novel, The Judas Coin, so I think it's finally time for me to examine the story's Two-Face segment, Heads or Tails, in full, exhaustive, spoilery, scan-heavy detail.

Yeah, I know where you're coming from - life just gets in the way of writing sometimes. In terms of my own personal stuff, I often find that the best way to get past a block is to just walk away from it for a little while, and noodle around with other stuff until the inspiration starts to flow again. In fact, it's often during these times that some of my wildest ideas are created - ones that usually have nothing to do with what I'm actually working on, but what the hey, ideas are ideas.
So yeah, maybe a little recharge-the-batteries time is just what you need. For the moment, though, I have a suggestion, if I may. I used to be a member of a message board that started out as being devoted to V for Vendetta, but it rapidly turned into a 'just talking about whatever' sort of thing as we ran out of things to say about the subject at hand. At a couple of points, we tried coming up with collaborative stories - everyone who wanted to participate would come up with a character, someone would start a story using theirs, and then we'd all take turns following up on it with our own.
Do you think something like that might work here? There's a fairly intelligent bunch on this board. We could do a Bat-related fanfic-type thing - you could start it off, and then everyone else chimes in with their own bits until the thing wraps itself up. Feeding off other people's creative energies can be a great way to get your own flowing, at least in my experience. What do you think?
