IGN has a 5-page preview up as of yesterday. The book comes out this Wednesday, 4/1.

Check it out!

Jose Ladronn discusses his painted covers for the BATMAN: BATTLE FOR THE COWL one-shots at Comic Book Resources (including MAN-BAT, written by yours truly).

IGN has a great interview with editor Mike Marts regarding the BATMAN: BATTLE FOR THE COWL event, including some insights into the MAN-BAT one shot I'm doing with Jim Calafiore.

DC Solicits have leaked out. IGN has the rundown of the rest of the BATMAN: BATTLE FOR THE COWL event following Batman's apparent death in the R.I.P. and FINAL CRISIS storylines.

I love Man-Bat. I think he's Batman's dark reflection, monstrous yet sympathetic, lost and dangerous but well-meaning, noble and in possession of immense power, rage and pain.

Jim Calafiore's artwork is stunning. We're going for dark and gritty here. Man-Bat is an outcast. He doesn't play well with others. And dark, disturbing things seem to follow wherever he goes.

And ain't that Jose Ladron cover sweet?
