Batman RIP Checklist

Let’s face it, we don’t need another incident of having to wait for a second printing of Robin or Nightwing just to figure out what the eff happened with that Ra’s Al Ghul story.

You can thank DC for shoving this checklist in their comics this week.

Batman #676-681
Detective #846-850
Nightwing #147-150
Robin #175-176
Batman & The Outsiders #11-13

There.  Tell your LCS to get ready.  Oh, and pick up Batman Confidential #17, just ‘cause it’s awesome!

Long in the Sabertooth

Donald Soffritti’s Comic Book Superheroes and Villains Drawn as Old People:

Italian comic artist Donald Soffritti drew very funny cartoons of what super heroes and villains would look like in old age! Doc Ock above doesn’t seem too thrilled having all those arms to carry grocery bags home.

Tons of other excellent drawings of super heroes as fat, middle aged men and women: Link - Thanks Haendel Dantas!

Free Comic Book Podcast Fallout

What? You only got ten free comics from your LCS?  You’re just upset you didn’t get All Star Superman even though you already bought it.

Face it, podcasts only care about what they read and laughing at their own jokes for three hours, which is why I identify with them so well.

Here are a few so far that remotely covered the most important day for comics this year.
