Some of My Friends Read Comics 246 – Batman: Creature of the Night by Kurt Busiek & John Paul Leon + Thunderbolts #19

Hot on the heels of Kurt Busiek’s take on a real-world(ish) Clark Kent, we’re reading his Batman focused followup called Creature of the Night from 2017, with art by John Paul Leon.

We meet a young kid in a non-superhero world named Bruce Wainwright who’s obsessed with Batman comics, and that doesn’t really change after his parents get murdered by robbers.

So what’s the deal with this Batman that starts showing up immediately?

Then we move onto Thunderbolts #19, featuring the winner of the Wizard Create-A-Villain contest!

Some of My Friends Read Comics 226 – April Fool’s Day 2024: Spider-Ham Fights Baron Zebro + Carol Danvers Dates Her Son + Earth X Finale

April Fools! We’re doing some weird comics today, because that feels like it makes sense.

We wanted to read Peter Porker and we only picked issue #16 because it had Baron Zebro in it. 

Then we read Avengers #200 because it’s said to be one of the worst issues of all time, and it definitely deserves that accolade.

And we finally end Earth X in issue #X, in which Spiders-Man wears a hard hat.

The best thing in all these comics is the cool dinosaur that attacked Avengers Mansion.
