The recent Mark Waid run on the book is excellent. In preparation for the series, I've also read some of the Frank Miller classics. Out of everyone I know, I shoudl be the deepest into this series.
Yet, somehow, I'm in last place. EVERYONE I know is telling me to catch up. And it's so much better than that stupid movie.
There aren't many reasons to start watching a new show in season six. So everyone who cares about this show is already watching it. But this stuff makes me so happy.
