There are a lot of takes on Batman, but we all have our favorites. Sometimes he’s campy, other times he’s gritty. Batman’s one of the most versatile characters in media today. My favorite take on Batman isn’t one steeped in the DC universe. I like to see Batman the noir detective, who’s more of a vigilante than a superhero. So needless to say, I absolutely adore Detective Comics from Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato, they’re doing my Batman. This is my Batman book. Beware spoilers.

Happy Friday the 13th!!! I’m super excited, because not only is it a Friday AND the 13th, BUT it’s also HORROR on the 13th! Woo hoo! Yay me! Wow, that may have been far too much cheering for the beginning of this article. Let’s start over.Hello and welcome to a Friday the 13 edition of Horror on the 13th! I, of course, am Susan, your “Horror Girl” (which we all learned is very different from being the “Whore Girl”). The topic of this month’s article is one that is very near and dear to my heart. Since I know that you all watch my videos and listen to my podcasts, I don’t think I have to repeat this. However, for those who might be brand spanking new to Comic Impact, I will let you in on what’s going on with Susan (me): I’m obsessed with werewolves.

Hello and welcome to the first Pick of the Week Podcast of 2012! Susan had the pick, and the boys weren’t too happy with her selection. They accused her of being charmed by the debonaire stylings of Brian Buccellato. The first pick of 2012 was Foster #1. Let’s face it. It’s independent and horror, so Susan’s kryptonite. Not to mention, Mr. Buccellato’s smile (perhaps she’ll leave Scott Snyder alone for a few weeks). Anyway, beyond that, Sheldon geeked out over the latest from his favorite, Ed Brubaker, Fatale #1. Simon got an Apes fix. We all love Animal Man and Swamp Thing, but we each have our preference. Throw in some of Sheldon’s Marvel fandom and Susan’s proclivity towards female leads, and you have found yourself listening to the Pick of the Week! Happy 2012 Comic Impact!
