JIMBO!
My true legacy
That’s Matt Fraction alerting me to the fact that the new Lego Batman game has the option to turn Commissioner Gordon into JIMBO THE SKELETON GORDON:
Yup! That’s right! From my second BATMAN arc with the amazing Mike Hawthorne!
In a lot of ways, I think we peaked with Jimbo. I should’ve had him become Bruce’s new butler. Oh well! No regrets!
I would play the game if I had any spare time but my life is COMICS! COMICS! COMICS! With some KISSING! every once in a while. AKA, the perfect life.
Speaking of comics, last week WOLVERINE: WEAPONS OF ARMAGEDDON #4 came out, our final issue!
WAIT WAS IT CANCELLED
What? No, it was a miniseries
UGH NOTHING IMPORTANT EVER HAPPENS IN A MINISERIES
Well then you haven’t read THIS miniseries! Issue four tees up a bunch of stuff for Logan and our former Captain America, Dave Colton. No spoilers, but if you’ve been reading CAPTAIN AMERICA and/or want to get ready for AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON, then this issue is a big one.
Go get it!
And while you’re at the comic shop, you may want to check this bad boy out as well:
That’s right! My first full Batman story, BATMAN: CHEER is in this giant collection of BATMAN: URBAN LEGENDS, the amazing Batman anthology series!
UGH NOTHING IMPORTANT HAPPENS IN ANTHOLOGIES
you’re the worst
In Chip Pal news, KAPTARA’S very own, Kagan McLeod, has been painting some amazing new pieces that he’s going to be selling at the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair this July!
They’re hand painted and incredibly cool. Comic book editors! Get Kagan to paint your covers if you want to SELL COMICS!!!
Last but not least this week, here’s the latest CHIP CHAT with David Harper! We talk a bit about the SEX CRIMINALS adaptation and the rise and self-fall of ZCN!
Always a fun time. Check it out!
Bye!

Nothing!! Leave me alone!!
When your newsletter dropped into my inbox I just thought you were sending me a casual email.
I was already planning on getting Lego Batman, but now I HAVE to get it now that I know Jimbo the Skeleton is in the game. That was the best thing to come from your Batman run. Failsafe, who?
