Matthew Lazorwitz and Will Nevin4 months ago4 months ago02 mins

It’s always a good time for us to return to the runs that we’re following in order.

It’s been a while, but we’re returning to the three runs that we’re following in order. In No Man’s Land, we take a break from big story revelations for an anthology month of four of shots.

BatChat With Matt & Will: THE RE-RANKENING!

Matthew Lazorwitz and Will Nevin9 months ago9 months ago02 mins

We’ve talked about it for a while, and here it is. This week, Matt and Will each picked three stories that they felt were too low on the Big Board, and they discussed them again and moved them to spots they felt more appropriate. It’s a lot of the creators we talk about regularly, and…

BatChat With Matt & Will: Bat to the Future

Matthew Lazorwitz and Will Nevin9 months ago9 months ago02 mins

Welcome to the world of tomorrow! Like, way tomorrow. Matt McThorn is back, and we are talking about the 853rd century and Grant Morrison’s first DC crossover, DC One Million. It’s a wild, sci-fi epic, which we all know if completely Will’s jam. But you might be surprised as we talk about the core mini-series,…

BatChat With Matt & Will: Jason Todd – Red Headed Stranger

Matthew Lazorwitz and Will Nevin1 year ago1 year ago02 mins

It’s been a while, but we’re back reading the three series/runs that we have been following (mostly) in order. In “No Man’s Land,” both Batman and Jim Gordon make some choices that definitely won’t come back to bite them on the butt. In the Morrison run, they investigate ethics in vigilantism and Jason Todd’s hair…

BatChat With Matt & Will: Weaponized Memories

Matthew Lazorwitz and Will Nevin1 year ago1 year ago03 mins

Of all of Jack Kirby’s creations at DC, the Fourth World is probably the most well known, the most expansive, and the most ill used by other creators over the years. Some really get the wild cosmic and Shakespearean vibe the King of Comics was putting down. Some don’t and just try to make the…

Matthew Lazorwitz and Will Nevin2 years ago2 years ago02 mins

I kind of can’t believe we made it this far, but here it is: episode 100! And for that, we’re hitting one of the last legendary Batman stories we haven’t touched, and one we’ve slowly been building towards for many of these 100 episodes, the culmination of the first act of Grant Morrison’s epic run:…

Rereading the Morrison run, Part III: Live, reader, live

Stephanie Burt2 years ago2 years ago030 mins

Click here to read Part I. Click here to read Part II. Sometimes a year’s worth of comic books feels like a day, and sometimes a day feels like a year. Our first two parts of this three-part look back at Grant Morrison’s New X-Men (2001-04) were written and edited before Fall of X (2023)….

Click here to read Part One! Welcome back to our three-part look back at the Grant Morrison — and Frank Quitely and John Paul Leon and Phil Jimenez and others — run of New X-Men! From the first arcs — “E Is for Extinction” and its successors, dealing with Cassandra Nova — we’ve seen how…

Rereading the Morrison Run, Part I (of III): Nothing Less than Fabulous

Stephanie Burt2 years ago2 years ago025 mins

Modern X-fans — even those who dislike it — agree that the recent era of X-comics, depicting the rise and now fall of the Krakoan nation-state, is a grand, far-reaching change to mutant history. You might say — as several fans and journalists have all but said — that it represents the greatest X-change since…

BatChat With Matt & Will: Devil Batman Went Down to Gotham

Matthew Lazorwitz and Will Nevin2 years ago2 years ago02 mins

We’re back to the three series we’ve been covering arc by arc. This time, Will actually likes a Grant Morrison story in his run on Batman! The Penguin has a rough day in No Man’s Land! And a reasonable number of artists draw an arc of Injustice! It’s a miracle all around! Well, except for…

They stalk the night. When they have your name, you are as good as dead, so pray that you never draw their attention. They are the League of Assassins. Whether they serve Ra’s al Ghul, his daughter Talia, the Sensei or any other master, the League has been a thorn in the side of Batman…

Bat Chat With Matt & Will: The Players On the Other Side

Matthew Lazorwitz and Will Nevin2 years ago2 years ago02 mins

Of all superheroes, Batman seems to have spawned more characters that are dark reflections of him than any other. Sure, Superman has Bizarro, and Spider-Man has Venom, but Batman has a legion of the them: Killer Moth, Bane, Hush, Owlman (the Lincoln March one), Wrath, Prometheus. There are enough to fill multiple episodes, so we…
