More Cooke goodies: DC will be reissuing his Batman: Ego in June - from Comics Worth Reading
For more modern work with classic flavor, in June comes BATMAN: EGO AND OTHER TAILS (200 pages, $14.99). It’s mostly Darwyn Cooke work, but it also includes stories by Paul Grist and Tim Sale. It collects BATMAN: EGO, CATWOMAN: SELINA’S BIG SCORE, and stories from SOLO #1 and 5 and BATMAN: GOTHAM KNIGHTS #23 and 33.
I did read in some interview he gave that he was disappointed with Ego, one of his earlier works. Still, I'll probably pick this up even though I already have the Catwoman and Solo books.
(Not Cooke news, but Johanna also mentions "The Amazing Transformations of Jimmy Olsen" Showcase volume in July - sure to please fans of the wacky.)

Excited and...reserved. I take issue with those complaining about the "complainers."
You only get one chance to do some things right and this is one of them. Frontier was epic. If 70 minutes can do "epic" then fine, but I find it hard to believe.
Just knowing there was thought of cutting the Wonder Women scenes is enough to put a fan of the work on edge. Who was making that decision? Certainly not someone who had any understanding of the purpose of the work. Cutting the Wonder Women and Lois scenes (though there were a couple Lois scenes I thought odd) would not only have turned the film into a testifest but would have taken away major exposition from Superman. Most of what he was in Frontier was seen I thought, through those two characters.
My biggest concern would be marketing making creative decisions. That bodes ill for minor characters and teams. Can you imagine Frontier having the same impact without the opening scenes?

I don't.
Most of the complainers have decided it won't be any good simply becasue of it's length. They aren't just having reservations: They are stating that it can't possibly be any good now, which they can't possibly know.
