I had the opportunity to meet Chris Burnham recently at Emerald City Comicon in Seattle – and I got a Batgirl head shot sketch! Burnham is joining Grant Morrison on a new Batman Incorporated. The new title is part of DC Comics New 52: The Second Wave. DC revealed preview art and a new quote from the artist.
“Oh, man, I am so excited for this book to come out! Grant and I have put our all into making this the best reading experience possible. We’re trying to do away with the widescreen movie-wannabe comics of the last ten or fifteen years and make the comicbookiest comics we’re capable of. Breaking borders, impossible perspectives, intricate panel interplay, sound effects, speed lines, splash pages, and some stuff that I’m not quite sure how to put into words. Words are Grant’s department, anyway!
We’re throwing everything we can think of at the wall and I’m pretty sure most of it’s sticking. It’s exciting, dramatic, funny, violent, deadly serious, utterly ridiculous, and, hopefully, moving. We’re doing our darnedest to dress the entirety of human experience up in tights for 20 pages a month and punch it right in the teeth.”
