I suspect you're playing catch up your own self though, so I don't feel so bad. They were big 'ol entries, they were!<br /><br />If you haven't read "American Secrets," it may well be the book you've been looking for on the Hammett front...Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-8770943019936203242012-11-05T21:35:16.911-06:002012-11-05T21:35:16.911-06:00"This is the story of how I saved America... ..."This is the story of how I saved America... touched a little bit of heaven... and got burned."<br /><br />It's stuff like this that makes me keep a peripheral eye on the Martian Manhunter in all things. One of my FAVORITE movies of all time is Humphrey Bogart's 'The Maltese Falcon'. Every now and then I'll read a line that J'onn says in a sort of Sam Spade voice and it just fits. I keep waiting for an AMAZING Sam Spade take on the Manhunter with amazing art and I just never get it.<br /><br />Speaking of art, I was NOT impressed with the very bland art in this issue. Lacking detail in SO many places!<br /><br />But thanks for playing along with the blog cross over Frank!

(In the new 52, J'Onn has erased a few minds but largely to protect the secrecy of Stormwatch or his yet unrevealed larger mission.)will_in_chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468337654400802576noreply@blogger.com
