This unauthorized Batman comic by Josh Simmons made me feel very uncomfortable. I’ll be thinking about it for a long time.

Wow. That’s really creepy
Oh my lord. Reading that takes me back to the first time I read “Eightball.” I feel like my brain’s been dented.
It works in so many ways: as a horror comic; as a satire of Batman; as a pretty vicious critique of Batman and superheroes generally; and most miraculously, as a Batman comic, a comic about a Batman who has finally snapped. The art is so textural, the pacing mesmerizing, the physical business impeccably choreographed. I’m really kind of amazed by it.
Dayum. Thanks, Sean, I’d have hated to miss that.
