Welcome to a special fifth week BatChat. For those not deeply entrenched in comics distribution, when there are five Wednesdays in a month, shipping can get … weird. So this week there are no comics with Batman as a lead! What are we to do? Well, to start, we’ll look at last week’s digital release…

“You’ve always been drawn to buses.” Helen, Baby with the Bathwater Of all the media I have ever experienced, this is the single most memorable line. I am not sure if it was a particularly striking performance when I saw Christopher Durang’s 1983 play, if it’s the absurdity of the line or if it is…
The shield has been stolen! No one understands the value of the shield like those who’ve wielded it, so Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson set out on a road trip across America to chase down the thief. But instead, they find the Captains, everyday people from all walks of life who’ve taken up the mantle…

I’m sick of talking about Jean Grey’s green dress. You know the one—the minidress with the low-slung belt that debuted in 1967 and was abandoned in 1976 when Marvel Girl became Phoenix, before reappearing, along with the Marvel Girl codename, in 2019’s House of X/Powers of X and hanging around ever since. People love and…

Hill, in Image’s Crossover…

In 2001, I went to the theater to see the big release of the summer. It opened, like many animated tales do, on a narrator expositing about a princess locked in a tower, waiting to be freed by the true love’s kiss of a valiant knight. Our narrator scoffs, “Like that’s ever gonna happen. What…
