Damn, really liking the new suit design for DD. U have any input in the design Chip?

And yeah, having Jorge on ur team is a 100+ advantage to have on any series. The way he draws the characters, invokes the best of anime that I grew up with.

Also, and I mean the utmost respect for Bruce, but what exactly was he taking when he decided to make this thing? I mean, at first it was a him contingency plan, but now Failsafe seems to be incorporating every contingency plan that he has for everyone. Is this just until it gets its hands on Bats, or is Failsafe going to just keep going after everyone one after the other? Is this an error in his programming?

Iā€™m curious, just which members of the family escaped Failsafe during that two week time skip, and which members, besides the ones already shown, were caught.

Ah...a thought just occurred to me. So, and hear me out, Failsafe was made by Batman, to stop/kill Batman should he act in a behavior that was not like Batman (ie. Kill somebody) if thatā€™s true, and he were to kill Batman, doesnā€™t that mean it is doing the very same thing it came online for? And wouldnā€™t it have to destroy itself?

Um, I absolutely adore Daredevilā€™s new suit/look too. šŸ˜ˆšŸ‘šŸ˜ˆ So much I preemptively ordered a few of this variant of DD #5 knowing Marco would deliver.

And I will not complain if you, Marco,Rafael,Matt & Clayton are on Red Batman for years. This woman can dream right Chip?

Congrats on all your success.

Poor Godzilla. If you don't know your lines you're wasting everyone's fucking time (as I've been told on occasion). In Godzilla's defense he probably got a little flustered when he heard the next Reed Richards was on the set!

Hey Chip, in #127 did I spy a Robin of Zurr-En-Arrh costume in a display case in Batman of ZEA's little hideout? I wonder what the implications of that could be! I guess there have probably been three comic website articles about it by now though.

I had not heard of that Godzilla TV series, with Fraction involved it sounds like it could be a lot of fun!

Hi Mr. Zdarsky! I have no idea if youā€™ll see this comment but I donā€™t want to forget this, so Iā€™m documenting it here (where better?). I had a dream about you last night! Donā€™t worry it wasnā€™t one of *those* dreams, but I did wake up ā€œhappyā€.

Anyway, I was on an old-school 80s/90s commercial airplane - the ones with the monitors up on the ceiling where they showed the movies. You were a flight attendant. You were masquerading around with a ā€œSteve Murrayā€ name tag, but I knew what was what. Star Wars (A New Hope) came up on the monitors and you sat down in an empty seat across the aisle from me. I turned to the guy next to me and whispered, ā€œthat guy writes Batman. His name is Chip Zdarsky!ā€ He gave me a look, like ā€œitā€™s the trench scene dude. Leave me alone.ā€ Then I woke up. Oh and we were in first class. Or at least I was, and you were serving me. I feel like there was a gin and tonic involved. Canā€™t be sure - it was a dream.

Anyway. I think Iā€™m a paying subscriber. Happy to support you, if so!
