We’re joined this week by our newest Dick Grayson-tier Patreon backer, Matt McThorn (McThorny!), who wanted to talk about series released under DC’s mature readers (mostly) superhero imprint, Black Label. We have the infamous debut book of the line, where Batman goes full frontal, a story of the Joker driving his therapist insane (not that therapist, another one), and a journey through a dark-mirror Gotham. And yes, even Gotham can have a darker mirror, as hard as that is to believe.
  • Batman: Damned #1-3
  • Joker: Killer Smile #1-3, Batman: The Smile Killer #1
  • Batman: City of Madness #1-3

In this week’s BatChat column, we read Detective Comics #1,085, Batman: Dark Age #3 and Batman: The Brave and the Bold #13.

Matthew Lazorwitz

Matt Lazorwitz read his first comic at the age of five. 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 creator interview podcast WMQ&A with Dan Grote.

Will Nevin

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