I commissioned an IMMORTAL LEGEND BATMAN sketch cover from the great (and lovely!) @jakebartok.bsky.social! I love how it came out 😍
I’m actually collecting ILB sketch covers by Australian artists, another one on the way soon… any guesses as to who?

IMMORTAL LEGEND BATMAN #3 is out today — and we're taking a big, weird swing.
It's a story. It's more insight into what shaped our Bruce Wayne. But it's also a playable puzzle.
Very curious to see/hear what you all think!

So here’s one of those weird little quirks of comic scheduling….
Last week, SPIDER-VERSE VS VENOMVERSE #4 dropped.
Next week, SPIDER-VERSE VS VENOMVERSE #5 drops!
And then we’ll be done! Weird!
Thanks to everyone who joined us on the journey! 🙏

I'm tremendously proud of the book. I hope you'll join us.
As mentioned, the first issue drops on August 27 — but to ENSURE you'll get a copy, you've got to pre-order, and comic stores have to have their orders locked by THIS MONDAY (August 4)... so make sure you hit them up!

This intense piece by @homare0601.bsky.social!
In this book, we're pushing the Batman mythos (and our abilities) to the limit.
New planets, new enemies, and what I think is a genuinely new take on what it means to be Batman.
I truly can't wait for you all to read it...

It really is wild to me how much working on IMMORTAL LEGEND BATMAN feels like working on a creator-owned book.
The scope, the freedom, the ground-up world-building, experimenting with form, the collaboration with (and creativity of) everyone involved...
Feels real good.
