BATMAN AND ROBIN #2 Hits Stores TODAY!
The debut issue of series villain SHUSH makes this the MUST-READ comic of the week! Plus, the DARK RIDE VOL. 2 trade paperback!
NYCC is this week. One of my favorite cons. And it’s going to be a busy one. I’m leaving super early tomorrow morning and I’ve been even more super screwed on deadlines, so I’ll keep this one fast. Lots of cool art in this week’s newsletter, so on with the show!
