Participating Digital Platforms Tuesday, April 6, 2021

Tensions are sky-high in Gotham City following the attack on Arkham Asylum, and public opinion and unrest are starting to boil over. The Dark Knight has his hands full juggling the investigation of the reappearance of an old enemy, and the rise of a new gang in Gotham called the Unsanity Collective… Gotham City is getting more dangerous by the minute!

Plus, who is The mysterious Gardner, and how does she figure into all of this?

Also, in part one of “Legend of the Ghost-Maker,” James Tynion IV and Ricardo Lopez Ortiz tell the most insane tale of action and adventure featuring Batman’s frenemy Ghost-Maker! This one is not to be missed!

And three pages from the Ghost-Maker back-up strip:

These pages are intriguing, and more than slightly gorgeous!

Has Killer Croc mutated again? Who is the Gardener, the mysterious, well dressed lady, with the fascinating florid pets? What’s her story?  How awesome does Harley look? How terrifying is this new incarnation of Scarecrow?

I know I’m biased, but in recent years the Batman series of titles have been regularly excellent. Of course, this is largely due to the fact that the character seems to attract the very best writing and artistic talent in the business. This leads to us, lucky readers, receiving some truly first rate entertainment.

While some are bemoaning the fact that this series has gone back to shipping once a month, rather than twice, we’re getting two stories in every issue. Add this to the fact that we now also have Mariko Tamaki and Dan Mora on Detective Comics, a brand new monthly Joker book, and two new Bat-titles; Batman: Urban Legends, and the returning Batman: Legends of The Dark Knight, plus Tom Taylor and Andy Kubert’s Batman: The Detective.

Has there ever been a better time to be a Batman fan?

What do you think of this First Look at Batman #107? Is this series on your pull list? Please let us know, as all Bat-Fans should stick together.

Fantastic Universes Interview: Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz From 'The Walking Dead'

Image
Interview panel led by Steve J. Ray, with a gathering of Comic/TV Media Journalists. I've spoken to some amazing people over the last couple of years; writers, artists, costume designers, and actors from some of my favorite TV shows. It's no secret that I'm a huge comic-book fan, and one of the TV series that's based on and inspired by a comics title - but has gone on to be so much more - is The Walking Dead . At a recent Comic-Con in London, I had the great opportunity of leading a panel where some fellow journalists and I spoke with Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz, three siblings who played Sophia and both iterations of Henry on the show. The eldest, Madison Lintz (born 1999) played Sophia Peletier - Carol's daughter - in the first two seasons. She's also well known for playing Maddie Bosch in the Amazon series Bosch . She started acting at the age of six, filming commercials and voice-overs. Matthew (born 2001) took over the role of Henry from ...
