IT'S WAR!!

On Gotham and Kaptara?!

First off, I’m really jonesing to see the new comedy BOTTOMS:

But being on a tiny island my viewing options are limited. So I did a quick google:

…and now my search results—and my sexual outlook—will never be the same!

It’s a BIG DAY over at the ol’ Zdarsky Manor!! Today we kick off the big Bat/Cat crossover, GOTHAM WAR with its oversized Special, THE GOTHAM WAR: BATTLE LINES!

This has been brewing a long time from me and Tini and is pretty essential to both the BATMAN and CATWOMAN titles. I don’t want to spoil anything, but there’s a real moral conundrum at the heart of it that will challenge our fair characters. Plus! This issue brings back Mike Hawthorne and Adriano Di Benedetto on art, with their wild details and cool anatomy!

We’re super proud of this story and we’re just getting started. And just wait until you see what Jorge does in Chapter Two YOWZA

Next up is the return to print of our beloved Kaptara with KAPTARA: UNIVERSAL TRUTHS #1!

Kagan and I started our first volume back in 2015, so it’s a great feeling to finally have our second volume coming out at Image. This one’s for all those readers we left behind, the ones with the Motivational Orb tattoos. We didn’t forget about you!

(Of course my dear paid Substack readers have already read this issue because they’re the best!! The rest of you are okay.)

And if you need a recap going in, well, shit, why not check out the ENTIRE FIRST VOLUME!! WOW!!

SO GENEROUS

Well, sometimes I’m generous and other times I charge a bunch of money for things. Like…

It’s TRUE. I’m doing one of those fancy CGC PRIVATE SIGNINGS! You’ve got less than a month to get your issues in to be signed! I’ll also be offering little head sketches on them, much better than the example they showed?!

YOU’RE SO GENEROUS

I guess I am!!

In fun, weird news, my Daredevil run with Marco is getting … uh … Minimates? So if you like tiny toys AND Daredevil, boy are you in luck!

Pretty cool, I guess? I never really thought of assassins as adorable before, but—

Uh, wait … what is …

…good god I think I’m in love

IGN also did a nice write-up on our Daredevil run.

And that’s it!! Are you not satisfied?!

NO

May I suggest googling “bottoms playing in my area”
