We really dig Kev’s villain and can’t wait to see him face off against Bats. The saddest news of the whole thing is probably the confirmation that it’s just 3 short issues, though we’re betting the story will be packed. The variant cover details are also interesting to see, at the rate they’re being issued, it certainly seems they’ll be rare (so if any kind comic shop owners out there can get us a hookup on the rare books, let us know, lest our View Askew comics collections be incomplete). We’ll of course keep on top of this story, a great Fall followup to “Zack & Miri” will be the new Batman book, just two weeks after we see the film!
