  • Perfect for the new Batman comic reader

    I grew up obsessed with the animated series, movies, and Arkham video games. I needed something to do during the ✨pandemy✨and picked up year one after I stumbled upon this podcast.

Batman TMNT III (Episode 260)
Q: Why Batman TMNT Ninja Turtles number three? Why is that the book of choice?
Because it's great, because all three of them are great, and I think for three, what I was so impressed with was how they found a new creative spin that was something very unique, very different from what we had seen in the first two, but still fun mashing up the two worlds.
Steve Englehart Returns (Episode 256)
Q: What was your first writing assignment for comics?
Englehart recalls being handed a six-page monster story that no one else wanted to write, which led to more opportunities in various genres.

Q: What got you into comics professionally?
