Hey I KNOW it shall be good regardless but I wanna know what LEVEL of power the Great BRU shined on the TPB on the Joker’s Origin.
Did he give all of his power to the book or just a quarter of his holy greatness??
That’s all I ask from my fellow Bru Worshipers.
P.S. All who are just lurking in this thread don’t know who the great Bru is just check his site out and you’ll understand why we greet him with so much respect.
My fellow Bru Bakers, how do you feel about ranking the Bru’s works? As key members of the Church, I think it’s our sacred duty to rank the Bru Canon. I will try to start by simply listing the things I can recall he has written. Let us rank by the standard shoryuken way- TIERING.
Lowlife
An Accidental Death
Prez (Vertigo one-shot)
Sandman Presents: Dead Boy Detectives
Scene Of The Crime
Point Blank
Sleeper
The Authority: Revolution
Gotham Central (Bru > Rucka)
Catwoman
Batman #603
Runs on Batman and Detective (I don’t remember which issues)
Batman: The Man Who Laughs
Uncanny X-Men
Captain America
Daredevil
Immortal Iron Fist
I personally believe that Sleeper, Catwoman, Gotham Central (Bru > Rucka), Daredevil, Lowlife, and Scene Of The Crime belong in the Top Tier. Everything else can go in the Upper Middle Tier. I guess that’s a pretty shady, unbalanced tiering, but at least we may all agree that Bru > Rucka.
I’m not a member of the Church of Bru either (I haven’t read a lot of his work); however, I have to say his Daredevil and Ironfist runs are very good. But his Uncanny X-Men has been woeful (it’s not his fault, as the whole line has a curse, ask Grant Morrison, Robert Kirkland, Chris Claremont, etc).
I knew you’d be in here sooner or later Pope Zeph good shit on the Bru Tier List!
I haven’t checked out alot of his shit for DC yet but imo the Authority Revolution was a first round knock-out. I especially love the shit he pulled off at the end of that run…great stuff.
Daredevil’s plot has builded up alot more since Bru took over, I WANT MORE!!!
What I really want to check out though is his Sleeper stuff, just can’t find yet in my area.=[
WAIT A MINUTE Pope Zeph!!! You forgot to add Criminal up on that tier list, the story for the first Arc may not be in the god tier section but it is high upper tier well imo I feel it should be ranked there…
You would debase the sacrosanct Church of Bru by calling me a pope? As you pointed out, I forgot to mention Criminal, so obviously I am not worthy to be anything higher than a boy-fondling priest.
Bru’s Authority run was underrated. With that Dustin Nguyen artwork, it was all sorts of awesome… That two-page spread of the Infinite City with all the Jennys was amazing. Midnighter Vs. the rest of the Authority was a greatly choreographed fight. Heathens don’t understand how masterful the Bru is when it comes to orchestrating team superhero books…
The Bru’s wikipedia page has a more comprehensive bibliography than the pitiful list I had. I did not know he had written one issue of Robin.
