I’ve recently figured out that I prefer a well-adjusted Batman. I have lost all taste I once had for a broody, sulky sad sack Batman, or the uber-dark paranoid dick Batman. There is no better adjusted or happier Batman than the Adam West Batman.

Ok, PANIC!: New 52
Of all the DC Comics New 52 launches, OMAC was my favorite. So of course it was the first cancelled.
20. John Constantine, Hellblazer
Oi, piss off. Hellblazer # 300 comes out today in comic shops everywhere and concludes the longest running Vertigo comic and – on a technicality – DC comic. I’ve already said my piece on the subject of John Constantine and DC’s cancelling of his book in favor of a New 52’d version. Since I get …
8. Batman
Batman doodle on a Post-it. I do not like a short-eared Batman. Unless it’s Adam West.

Superman
Just for fun, I wanted to tweak Superman’s costume, make it less dumb and more classic, but still modernized. I’ve also wanted to try my hand at working on a “look” for him, inspired by Frank Quitely, and my ongoing attempts to swing more cartoony. I had a tiny epiphany when I realized that Clark …
