BatChat With Matt & Will: Spud’s All, Folks!

Joe Potato Banner

The beauty of a Patreon request is you never know what you’re going to get. And bless Dan Grote, co-host of WMQ&A and BatChat’s first patron and guest, for coming at us with a request nobody expected. This week, we’re reading three stories featuring Joe Potato, a Gotham PI who we read one story with a while back, and now we’re covering all three of his other appearances. We have a story that does a Reefer Madness but with Ecstasy, Anarky makes Will really mad and a Pulp Heroes annual that totally gets the assignment. All of these served up hard boiled, even though mashed would have been more appropriate.

  • Ecstasy (Detective Comics V.1 #594)
  • Anarky: Prophet of Doom (Batman: Shadow of the Bat #40-41)
  • I Was the Love Slave of a Plant Based Killer (Batman: Shadow of the Bat Annual #5)

Matt Lazorwitz read his first comic at the age of 5. It was Who's Who in the DC Universe #2, featuring characters whose names begin with B, which explains so much about his Batman obsession. He writes about comics he loves, and co-hosts the podcasts BatChat with Matt & Will and The ComicsXF Interview Podcast.

Will Nevin loves bourbon and AP style and gets paid to teach one of those things. He is on Twitter far too often.
