I actually never read any of this, but I'll certainly give the show a chance when it comes out! I've enjoyed other stuff I've read by Brubaker. -
I did, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was supposed to serve as a prequel to the Gotham television series for the Alfred Pennyworth character of that continuity. It was really good, but like a lot of series that get cancelled prematurely it ended on a cliffhanger that I really would have like to have seen resolved. It is basically the origin of Alfred (Alfie) and how he meets Thomas and Martha Wayne in London and their life before Gotham City. Towards the end of the 2nd season it began to introduce metahumans / powered individuals who were supposedly just starting to appear at that point in time. If you don't have expectations of it being anything similar to Batman then it was a very well written show. It started off pretty grounded and got a little crazier and more comic book like as the series went on. I would have really liked to have seen a fourth and final planned season with it ending with Thomas, Martha and Alfred all permanently relocating to Gotham. I've watched all of these shows religiously that Warner Brothers has recently cancelled: Pennyworth, Doom Patrol, Titans, Flash, Arrow, Batwoman, Legends of Tomorrow, Stargirl, etc. and I enjoyed all of them. Stupidly I also got exactly two episodes into WestWorld before they removed it from HBO Max. That pissed me off too, but that's what I get for waiting years to watch it, I guess. I'll probably just finish watching that on Tubi when it gets there.

Now that's cool. All the volumes I've read have at least been pretty interesting, and the finale of the first vol. still sticks with me even though I haven't read it since the original publication years and years ago. -
Sources from within have informed Deadline that Amazon Studios is finalizing deals for Criminal, a TV adaptation of Ed Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips’ bestselling crime comic book series. The project is being described as an interlocking universe of crime stories based on Criminal writer Brubaker's award-winning comic book series. Brubaker will serve as executive producer and showrunner. Nick Pepper, Amazon Studios’ Head of US SVOD TV Development and Series – Wholly Owned signed Brubaker into a development deal back in 2019 and, along with EVP Development King, put Criminal in development at the indie studio. Pepper and Matt King, Head of Tentpole, Genre, and Universe Development of Wholly Owned content, are pushing for Criminal to be developed. Brubaker has received numerous accolades and won both the Eisner and Harvey Awards for Best Writer five times. For DC Comics, Brubaker overhauled Catwoman with artist Darwyn Cooke and was the co-creator of Gotham Central. He changed Marvel’s Captain America including the creation of the “Winter Soldier.” Television credits include serving as Supervising Producer on HBO’s Westworld, and, functioning on Disney+’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and was co-showrunner of Batman: Caped Crusader, the animated series from executive producers Bruce Timm, J.J. Abrams, and Matt Reeves, which had a straight-to-series order from HBO Max and Cartoon Network. -
I'm excited for these, but also somewhat concerned that the line is going to go on longer than I expected. I got in on the DC Universe Classics sculpted by The Four Horsemen that was sold exclusively on mattycollector.com a decade or so ago and ended up buying every single figure they made up until they ended the line. I then ended up getting an offer for that collection that I couldn't refuse and sold it all in one shot. However I have no interest in going that deep again, but I'm also not sure I'll have the willpower to stop after I've bought everything they've done for the Masterverse line so far. I haven't bought any Origins and don't intend to. Masterverse would only be my fourth line in terms of priority behind Marvel Legends, DC Multiverse and Spawn and I tend to buy at least one of every character made in each line. I did recently quit G.I. Joe Classified though after they went to windowless packaging. I've got at least one version of every character they made in windowed packaging (including the Cobra Island / Python Patrol / Tiger Force stuff) but I decided to call it there. I just don't open those figures. That will save me some $$$, I guess.
