Little off topic, but this post reminded me of how awesome ur X-men/FF mini was. I was excited about seeing what came next for Franklin and his family with the Krakoa agenda going on. Was there ever meant to be a follow up to that from u? I know Dan kinda killed that with his retconing Franklin as a non mutant, but I can help but imagine u had more to tell with that particular thread.

We're just going to breeze past the fact that he signed that picture to "Goo Goo Goggles"?

Nobody in the MU wants a Wolverine signature. The guy ain't fond of ink, if you catch my drift. Bub.

Wow, I never noticed that before, and I have seen many autographs from him from friends over the years. If u wanna challenge any X writers to meet ur idea, then Ben Percy is ur guy. He’s the best at what he does, and what he does is Wolverine.

Also, how long have u wanted to kill off Penguin? Was this from before u took over Batman or after u came on and wrote Failsafe?

This is such an incredibly earnest comments section today! I almost felt like I stumbled on the wrong substack. And in keeping with the spirit of today's REALLY GOOD questions, I have a question too: Will elements of "The Knight" eventually play out across the current Batman? (You may have answered this one previously. It also feels like I'm asking if your Batman book will be influenced by Batman. ) But from when that book was announced, I don't think you knew yet you'd be on ... Batman. Or I could save all the meta Batman questions for Ram!

Holy shit was Batman 126 fantastic. One of the best superhero fights/action scenes I've read in ages - and being a wise/grumpy 30 something, I usually bounce off the frenetic fisticuffs action. That two page Nightwing entrance in particular is a masterpiece of panel design.

Just finished 126! Great stuff!! Plus I heard that if a Batman movie starring Failsafe ever makes more than one billion dollars you get a Starbucks giftcard!
