Superheroes were an American invention, at least the modern conception of them. But they have spread across the world and taken on many forms. We’ve done an episode about Batman stories across the world before, but this weeks we’re focusing specifically on Batman stories from Japan. We’re reading the first collection of stories that spun…
Co-creator Lazlow, artist David Lapham and editor Shelly Bond join The ComicsXF Interview Podcast to talk about their Dark Horse Comics series American Caper.
Hell comes to Gotham as Team BatChat covers the two-part crossover between DC’s Absolute Wonder Woman and Absolute Batman.
This week, BatChat is once more joined by Patreon backer and friend of the show Matt McThorn. This time, Matt wanted to talk about times Batman and his allies and enemies crossed over with properties from Dark Horse Comics. So we have Batman meeting Hellboy (and Starman, but that’s less of a jump), The Joker…
Writer Fred Kennedy joins The ComicsXF Interview Podcast to talk about his new Mad Cave Studios series, The Florida Hippopotamus Cocaine Massacre.
We read three stories an episode. So with that math, episode 222 means we are ranking story 666, which is certainly a portentous number. It’s a number that screams horror.

Joe Pruett joins the show to talk about the return of his comics anthology Negative Burn, currently crowdfunding on Zoop.

This week, BatChat is returning to the three runs we’ve been following in order. Well, sorta. Yes, we’re reading the next arc of No Man’s Land and the penultimate arc of Grant Morrison’s epic run. But Injustice has been showing signs of severely diminishing returns the past few volumes, and we had something else we’ve…
Kristen Gudsnuk joins the show to talk about her new Dark Horse Comics series Touched by a Demon.
Bruce Wayne’s date with Anna Zeller is interrupted by assassins trying to kill the doctor. Can Bruce get them out of this without revealing his other identity?
The Creeper is a weird character. He’s a guy with yellow skin, a green and black banana hammock, and a red fur boa. That’s a heck of a look. He’s also a good guy that most think is a bad guy. And sometimes he hangs out in Gotham City. That’s a lot on a character…
It’s the start of a new year again, and so, as we do every year, it’s time to look at some new visions of Batman in a handful of Elseworlds. We’ve got a pulpy adventure of Batman and Superman, the Bat-pirate Leatherwing sailing the seven seas and an issue of the Batman Chronicles anthology with…
Tony Thornley, Dr. Anna Peppard and John Bush join Dan and Matt to talk about the best comics of 2025, along with picks for best writer, best artist, best publisher and hopes for 2026.
It’s the end of the year, and at the beginning of 2025, the ComicsXF team set some new year’s resolutions. So how did we do with our resolutions from 2025?
