Wayne’s Comics Podcast #90: John Layman

Don’t miss a special interview during the 90th episode of the Wayne’s Comics podcast, now at MajorSpoilers.Com!

This week I get to talk with John Layman, from Image’s Chew and DC’s Detective Comics! John talks about how both gigs came to be, and even hints at what fans might expect from both titles in the coming months! It’s always something terrific when I get to chat with a person working on Batman, but it’s extra great to discuss the fascinating Tony Chu!

Then everything wraps up with Gianluca Glazer discussing the latest ‘News & Previews’ with me!

Wayne’s Comics is created by Wayne Hall, who also writes the weekly Comics Portal column and reviews comics for this site as well!

 

REVIEW: Detective Comics #14

Or – “Batman!  Always Batman!  Always Driving Us Bats!”

The saddest part about the popularity of Batman comes in the fact that the various incarnations of the Dark Knight (from Dick Sprang to Adam West to Deidrich Bader) get short shrift in favor of whatever is the latest and most badass.  (Witness the Major Spoilers Podcast’s inability to talk about Batman without mentioning Christopher Nolan.)  While I like Batman, I think that one of the most awesome parts of the character is his flexibility, and how he is as much at home fighting Ras Al Ghul as he is dog-fighting the ghost of the Red Baron.  Will Detective Comics impress or distress?  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
