If you see this comic book, BUY IT! (All Star #10)

[Mistwell]

I can finally talk about a legal phone call.

ALL STAR BATMAN AND ROBIN THE BOY WONDER #10 is being recalled by DC.

They messed up, and the black bar they tried to put over certain cuss words was insufficiently opaque.

I cannot disclose what my phone call was specifically about, but I can say that if you happen to see this at your comic book store today, tomorrow, or the next day, buy everything they have of it.

For further details, see this article. Warning, strong language (duh).

Here is the Diamond advisory that went out:

"Holy Oops!"

I still remember the Spectre with nudity that got out and some of those. Gawd I feel old. That was in the 80's!

DC dropped the C-bomb I almost doubt this was an accident.

Sadly, my shop didn't get any of them so I couldn't nab one.

I must admit, I've seen the scans and such and wow, its just...excessive. Its very, very Frank Miller. And the more time goes on, the more I'm finding "Frank Miller" to be a negative in almost everything.

Once again Frank Miller proves how much cooler he was back in the 80's compared to the hard core hack he is today.

Seriously, is he just f***ing around w/ the fans on this poor excuse of a Batman comic?

P.S. Notice how much better I am at censoring my stuff rather than DC.
