Neal Adams: Too lazy to draw a banana.

Batman to Aquaman: "You know...sometimes...not always, but sometimes, you are a scary-looking dude, my friend."

JACKSON H. MONKEYSPIT!

Y're having a laugh, Neal.

the first page of the newest issue!

if this thing was on matte paper I would buy it for the awesome wtfness

"even now, HERE, I can feel my frustration, THEN"
i'm totally buying this in trade

I have no idea what is going on in this comic, but Mr. Adams has kindly put together a recap page like this. Now, having read it, I really have no idea what is going on.

In factttt

it swirled around me... and ra's al ghul... and somehow... oil

professional climbing axe is a rich man's toy

Neal Adams making Frank Miller look completely sensical

honestly, that's too good

okay that is REALLY making me want to buy a Batman comic

there's a very real possibility that this will make even less sense in trade

lolling here

kinda wanna spam every thread on every board with that image

THEY WERE DOING THEIR TRAPEZE ACT!

this dude has no idea how to use ellipsis

i mean read that panel out loud and give each ellipsis a good 2 second pause and the dialogue gets even wackier

ASK AWAY

I don't think I like the look of this new Phoenix Wright game tbh.

they were shot ... when they ... you can't

I think Neil Adams is secretly doing some cut-up technique shit here

he looks like arnold getting explosively decompressed in Total Recall

so he's saying "ask away." with that face

looks like a cross between jon hamm and christopher lloyd

robin...
dick.

is the storyline that the Graysons stole someone's trapeze moves, and therefore they were justifiably kiled under circus law? And now Batman has to kill Robin under that same circus law, because he's a real stickler for following the law, even circus law?

Robin's... dick is exactly what I would call the rich man's climbing tool in the first image above. Am I wrong? Or does it look totally like a sex toy?

its weird that sienkiewicz is now inking this, after all those years painting himself out of that 'neal adams' copyist tag

For my review of this I was planning on posting that first page and just leave it at that. Sadly, I have no scanner and GIS was coming up with nothing so I just posted two clips from IRMA VEP.

A fellow Miriam Toews fan, huh?

I can't stop thinking about what happened to that axe between panels (and for the rest of the issue!)

oh why did i ever stop following batman...

Has Batman been naked this whole time?

ALSO: special appearance by Bane.

i don't even

...NUMBED TO VIBRATING OBLIVION, BATMAN IS JACKED AROUND LIKE A PUPPET.

dayummmm

IT... THE BODY JERKS ABOUT SO UNCONTROLLABLY, IT MORE RESEMBLES A MAD MARIONETTE THAN A HUMAN BEING.
IN FACT IT CAN'T FALL UNTIL ALL THE JACKING STOPS.

i have to go get this now, literally tearing up a little

feel I should reiterate the Burroughs parallels here lol

That "...Ruben Blades..." thing is still bugging the hell out of me all these months later.

Wow. Does no one edit Adams' scripts, or did they just not care? I mean, the "jacking" thing is just...words fail me.

the only thing that bothers me is the illegibility of the white text and the cut-and-paste "BADA"s. thank you comicraft for ruining comics forever.

that's the ONLY THING about this that bothers you

all this batmarionette stuff is less bothersome than adams' plate tectonics weirdness. it's good that he found an outlet!

#1. Visually touch the body in front of you. Caress it with your eyes, drink it in slowly.
#2. Close your eyes; remember the body you've just seen, then slowly undress it.
#3. Reach out, and without touching, show what you want to do to the body in front of you
#4. Put your right hand upon the shoulder of the body in front of you.
#5. Rhythmatically move your body to the beat.
#6. Physically touch the body in front of you in every way imaginable.
#7. Lose complete mental control, and begin to jack.
