I commissioned an IMMORTAL LEGEND BATMAN sketch cover from the great (and lovely!) @jakebartok.bsky.social! I love how it came out 😍
I’m actually collecting ILB sketch covers by Australian artists, another one on the way soon… any guesses as to who?

IMMORTAL LEGEND BATMAN #3 is out today — and we're taking a big, weird swing.
It's a story. It's more insight into what shaped our Bruce Wayne. But it's also a playable puzzle.
Very curious to see/hear what you all think!

I had high hopes for Immortal Legend Batman after chatting with @matgroom.bsky.social about it. It exceeded my expectations with a fresh galactic take on our favorite caped cohort. The toku element fits it so well and immediately builds in a legacy.

So here’s one of those weird little quirks of comic scheduling….
Last week, SPIDER-VERSE VS VENOMVERSE #4 dropped.
Next week, SPIDER-VERSE VS VENOMVERSE #5 drops!
And then we’ll be done! Weird!
Thanks to everyone who joined us on the journey! 🙏
