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?
I’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 that’s true, and he were to kill Batman, doesn’t that mean it is doing the very same thing it came online for? And wouldn’t it have to destroy itself?
Lol fine, then allow me just this. Would u say that Failsafe is going beyond the parameters of his function in the name of taking down Batman as of this weeks issue?
Well, one: Batman didn’t make him. Zur did. So there’s going to be some extremes there. But even still, killing Batman is essentially him being less pro-murder and more pro-euthanasia ;)
That’s actually a good point. I forget sometimes that Zur is Batman without any Bruce in him. There probably wouldn’t be any limits in something like that would there?
But since it was built by “A” Batman, does that still mean there r limits built into what it will or won’t do?
A very Batman thing to do. Hell I recall Bruce was ok with killing the Bat who laughs only because it was himself from an alt universe. Though he might have gone a little easy back there with the Kryptonite don’t you think?
From your fantastic fingers to my fan woman mind Chip, I agree: DD is fuckin hawt indeed (Thank Marco for continuing to scratch my Robert Redford as DD itch here too.)
The wait between issues is 🫣😈. Glad you & Rafael have #4 coming next week.
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!
love the update from the godzilla set. the godzillas, they're just like us!
thanks chip! glad you're alive and healthy and an inspiration and full of vaccine boostings (plus some joke about a microchip inside macro-chip [that's you])
comment over! thanks again for all! ok comment over NOW!
Hi Mr. Zdarsky! I have no idea if you’ll see this comment but I don’t want to forget this, so I’m documenting it here (where better?). I had a dream about you last night! Don’t worry it wasn’t one of *those* dreams, but I did wake up “happy”.
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 “Steve Murray” 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, “that guy writes Batman. His name is Chip Zdarsky!” He gave me a look, like “it’s the trench scene dude. Leave me alone.” 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. Can’t be sure - it was a dream.
Anyway. I think I’m a paying subscriber. Happy to support you, if so!
wow that selfie of you and matt is only showing a ... fraction ... of your faces (thank you thank you i'll be here all week)
wow
Yup, they went there.
ZUR EN ARRH BABY
YEAH BABY YEAH
Wonder what a Batgirl or a Nightwing of Zur En Arrh would look like?

2 many questions

Yup! He won't kill anyone, except for BATMAN

I’m inquisitive by nature 😆
ohhhh, boy, daredevil is depressed [again].
Can't wait to read 128!
I just read Batman 128.
I really enjoyed it. All of it, including the 2nd story.
Thank you.
LEO AND JORDIE ARE THE BEST!!!!
CHIP TOO I GUESS
Um, I absolutely adore Daredevil’s new suit/look too. 😈👏😈 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.
Ha! Thanks! And yeah, Marco KILLS it on designs! DD looks fuckin hotttttt

yeah i probably shouldn't have kept giving him notes too

yeah! it IS a lot of fun! A very cool project and it was fun to see how big it all is in person
Back the fuck off 😄 you'd never catch any off the other Substack creaters giving us that lip. And that's why we love you.
You prick x
