90 weeks! 90 weeks is a long time. 90 weeks feels like the right time.
Alas fellow Review Groupers, it is with great sadness/excitement that I am announcing this will be my final week as your Tyrant. While for some I may have been the only Tyrant you've known, I assure you that the Review Group got by just fine for 159 weeks before me and I'm sure will do great things over the next 159 weeks and beyond without me. Well not without me exactly, I'll still be here posting my thoughts/reviews and generally being annoying like always, I'll just go back to being a regular member.
If I had any goals when taking over as Tyrant, it was to leave the Review Group better than I found it. Moving the Group to The Outhouse did most of the work for me, but all in all I'd say mission accomplished! I certainly didn't do it alone however, so to thefourthman, starlord, Victorian Squid, Punchy, 48THRiLLS, guitarsmashley, Doombug, MrBlack, Chubbles, Kerny, Old Man (RIP!), Daringd, Jude Terror (doubly so for all the front page stuff he's helped out with), Eli Katz, Jubilee, GLX, SuperginraiX, Mr_Batman, Zero, BlueStreak, young neil, The Phenomenal Sire, john lewis hawk, Ameobas, GHERU, King Impulse, SilverPhoenix, Chris, Dragavon, Frag It, Fieldy Snuts, McKegan, PDH, Royal Nonesuch, Flynn the Pirate, Fintan, prozacman, Stephen Day, Porcelain38, ThrillHouse, BubbaKanoosh, Alex Delarge, Jack Burton, Shiro, Zechs, Klown, spidertour02, YeaSureWhatever, Timberoo, Jess Nukem, Dum Dum Dugan, VinnyPic, mrorangesoda, GOSD, stingerman, MistaT, Hnutz, Greg, MrWadeWilsonHimself, Tony Starks the Ironman, rdrsfn82, nerdygirl and AMS whether you posted 102 reviews or just 1, I owe you all a sincere and heartfelt THANK YOU!
I would imagine right about now you're asking yourself, what the hell Snow, who's going to be our new Tyrant? Never fear fellow Review Groupers, our new Tyrant is...
BlueStreak!Would you believe
BlueStreaker actually volunteered for the job? Crazy, right?! Short of death, I wasn't sure there was any way I was ever getting out of this thing.
I've no doubt that Christian will bring the energy and exuberance to the Review Group that the position of Tyrant requires. Let me be the first to officially congratulate him on his ascension and to wish him good luck and a most excellent and long reign. Not too long of course, 89 weeks max.
So... this week's comic. Hellboy! Yay! Perfect timing, obv. I hope everyone enjoys. Adios amigos! It's been a genuine pleasure.
And just because I can...

selected by John SnowWriter: Mike Mignola

Batwoman #0
selected via poll by thefourthmanWritten by J.H. WILLIAMS III & W. HADEN BLACKMAN
Art by J.H. WILLIAMS III and AMY REEDER with RICHARD FRIEND
"I suspect that Batwoman is socialite Kate Kane. I intend to prove it beyond a shadow. I need to know if she can be trusted, what her motivations are. I'm going undercover." – Batman: Mission Log Entry 2756
Featuring a unique story composition that combines the art of Eisner Award-winner J.H. Williams III (DETECTIVE COMICS, PROMETHEA) and Amy Reeder (MADAME XANADU), this special #0 issue acts as a new introduction into the life of Batwoman! Things pick up roughly where the BATWOMAN: ELEGY HC left off, and this issue acts as a primer for the upcoming new series featuring multiple award-winning creators!
Batman | 32pg. | Color | $2.99 US
If you would like to join the group, it's easy. Just post a review and I'll add you to the member's list. As long as you stay active, eventually it will be your turn to make a pick.
With $4 comics becoming the norm, the economy being what it is and the growing popularity of mail order services the Review Group recognizes that it's becoming harder and harder to commit to participating each and every week. As long as you can post one review per calendar month you will stay in the member's list. It doesn't matter if you post your review the week of it's release or if you post it later. There is no such thing as a "late" review.
The only request I make is that if you don't plan on posting a review or if you're going to be posting late is that you drop a note in the thread so that I can keep track of who is active and who isn't. The Spreadsheet of Doom is thorough, but it can't read your mind.
Comics are to be scored on a scale from 1-10. 1 being suck, 10 being a damn good comic. Beyond that, there's no right or wrong.
If it's your week, you must announce your selection by 5pm EST the day Diamond releases it's shipping list. If you do not announce your pick at that time, I will add a poll to the thread that will remain open until 12pm EST so that the group can make the selection for that week. (If you're seriously MIA, I'll probably put the poll up sooner) To ensure that you know it's your week, I will PM you when Midtown's list goes live on Thursdays. Also you'd better keep in mind the Amber Atoms rule, if your pick isn't reviewed by 2 or more people you will be exiled from the Group for 1 year. Our definition of a single issue comic is limited to comics listed at $3.99 or lower, anything above that is off limits.John Snow (this week)
