rhythmbandit: he flies through the air with the greatest of ease... (Bats * Robin flying)

Thought I'd share a comic I just read called Josh and Imp. Written by Jon Bernhardt and drawn by Diana Nock, it was made for an anthology that never got made.
It's kind of a freeform exploration of the superhero lifestyle, riffing on the Batman and Robin partnership. With kisses. And grappling hooks. It's a bit dialogue-heavy, but it's worth it for the awesome ending. I think you'll like it.

And here's a page from one of my favorite Robin comics, #148. Written by Adam Beechen, pencils by Karl Kerschl.



Good times.

'Course, later in the arc, he does just that.

Beechen really half assed his writing when it came to Robin, even if one ignores his treatment of Cass.

Sigh, if I felt Batman was even saying that in a light hearted tone I'd buy it, but he seems to be aiming for his old "inconsiderate pillock" mode.

Whoa. That's a pretty cool comic, all right. I mean, it could've been just a LITTLE less transparent about who Devilman and Imp were really supposed to be - those costumes weren't really even trying - but it was a very nice examination/dissection of just what a superhero's life must really be like. I approve.
