COLOR 🖍️ or BLACK & WHITE 🖊️? Same comic but two very different experiences. Watch my comparison of both versions of SKINBREAKER (by superstars @RobertKirkman and @DFinchArtist ) in my latest Closer Look Review! youtu.be/ln6yuIn5rwE (FYI: I'm Team Black & White)

It goes without saying that this Darwyn Cooke | Batman Absolute Edition is impressive because of all his phenomenal artwork and stories. But the commentary from Mark Chiarello makes the impact of his legacy more personal and it makes it even sadder that Darwyn is gone.

James Gunn and Peter Safran are stepping down as co-heads of DC Studios after four years: • Marvel Studios veteran Jeremy Latcham will take over as president and chief creative officer on Dec. 1 • Gunn and Safran will “return full time to their creative work” ahead of “Man of Tomorrow,” the sequel to 2025’s “Superman,” which hits theaters July 9, 2027. • Said Gunn and Safran: “Four years ago, we set out to unite DC under one creative vision. In that time, we helped restore Superman to the heart of DC, while opening new doors and telling new stories in film and television with Peacemaker, Creature Commandos, Lanterns and Clayface. We’re immensely proud of the team that turned that ambition into something real, including the actors, crews and executives we had the opportunity to collaborate with. We’ve shared a creative history with Jeremy going back to Marvel, and we’re eager to see the perspective he brings to DC’s next chapter. We’re excited to return to what drew us to this job in the first place, which is telling the stories we love, including the next chapter of Clark and Lex’s journey in Man of Tomorrow.” variety.com/2026/more/news/j…

Crazy news
Gracias, amigo. My life was immeasurably changed for the better by having met Eric Bauza in 2003. He just made everything he worked on better. A generational talent. A legend. I would write and design characters giddy thinking how he would bring them to life. And behind the scenes, an incredibly kind, humble and open-hearted good dude. How luck we all were to have been able to witness his talent shine. And boy did it shine!!! My heart goes out to his family and friends. Adios, amigo. You will never be forgotten.
