Newsletter #39: Batman Begins (2 Suck)

Jingle Bells, Batman smells, but Daredevil smells better because of his heightened senses caused by radioactive sludge* (*Daredevil #1 -ed.)

The bat’s out of the bag!

OH FOR FUCK’S SA—

I’m writing Batman! Specifically a miniseries starring Batman and Red Hood, starting in BATMAN: URBAN LEGENDS #1, a new anthology featuring some pretty great talent and me! Eddy Barrows is drawing it and he’s amazing!

Though the above art is David Finch.

ANYHOO, this has been a ton of fun to work on. I’m not going to lie, growing up on the comics, TV shows and movies, it was like Batman raised me. Like he was a father to me and I was simply another one of his Robins, trained to fight in daddy’s war.

PLEASE DON’T LOSE THIS GIG BEFORE ISSUE ONE COMES OUT

Sorry sorry, you know what I mean. Writing Batman is fun. I like it.

But! It pales in comparison to writing the ORIGINAL Batman: Daredevil!

WOW WAY TO PLAY BOTH SIDES

I love my dark, tortured men!

This has been a wild couple of weeks with DAREDEVIL 25 coming out and going back to press with multiple covers. I still don’t want to spoil anything for people who haven’t read it yet, so if you want to check out the spoiler-heavy covers, head over to manwithoutfear.com for all your man without fear news!

OKAY WILL DO

And then tomorrow you can head into your local comic shoppe and get your hands on this bad boy!!

STILLWATER #4!

We go back to the beginning of the blessing/curse of our creepy town! Ramon and Mike once again knock it out of the park. Honestly? I think you should buy it.

CAN I GET A COMP COPY

No.

But! I’m not without a heart! If you purchase the AFTERLIFT collection in February, you’ll get a free signed JEFF LEMIRE bookplate! That is, if your retailer had the incredibly easy foresight to order five or more copies for their shop!

Look! It’s local hunk/artist Jason Loo signing a whole bunch of them! For YOU!

What a guy!

HUH LOOKS LIKE HE SIGNS HIS FULL NAME UNLIKE SOME OTHER COMIC DIVAS

Shut up! I’m a single name! Like Cher! Or Elmo!

You may not respect me, but you know who does? IGN (International Gaming News)!

They were kind enough to nominate DAREDEVIL for comic series of the year! And me as Best Writer! Go vote for me, mom!

SURELY SHE’LL VOTE FOR YOU

She’s a huge Al Ewing fan, so we’ll see how this plays out.

Anyway, that’s it for me this week. Here’s another convention t-shirt I want to sell and make a million dollars with.

Love,
Chip!
