Wow that is us.
Also when someone clocks that you’re just fully pulling a ToQger, that’s nice too >.>
I appreciate ANYONE who takes the time to review + discuss my work.
I do especially appreciate Bob, though — because he consistently validates the extra effort of exploring complex themes, layering worldbuilding and pushing your craft (by proving there are folks out there who value that richness).
Yeah we don’t do heaps of super direct references like that, but that one was quite intentional. BOOK ONE in particular is so much about their relationship, it seemed right to do a little shout-out to one of the most significant works in the mother/daughter drama canon!
AHHH, YES!! 🙌 🙌🙌

RISE, TRIALS, MYSTERY and then ULTRAMANxAVENGERS!
If you've ever been to Books with Pictures (@bkswpicspdx.bsky.social) in Portland, you already know how fantastic it is.
For everyone else — it's exactly the sort of inclusive, thoughtful and welcoming comic store that our industry NEEDS.

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?
Gaaaaaaaaaah so hard to pick. Probably #6.
Interesting! I appreciate you chiming in!
It’s true, after 5 years, what started with THE RISE OF ULTRAMAN… ends with THE FALL OF ULTRAMAN!
A HUGE thanks to Daniel Bayliss for joining on this issue to provide three double-page spreads (including the image above) that both provide our puzzles /and/ look absolutely STUNNING.
It was a tough job, but Daniel completely crushed it 🙌
Why’s IMMORTAL LEGEND BATMAN #3 got folks saying
“one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen in a comic” (@KaijuUnited.bsky.social)
“one of the most out of the box from the big 2” (@getyourcomicon.bsky.social)
“feels genuinely new for the Dark Knight” (@kpbcomics.bsky.social)
?
It’s a 🧩!
Mr. @comicdrake.com just released a video on IMMORTAL LEGEND BATMAN!
If you’ve been curious about our little series, wondering if you should pick it up… I recommenced watching this!
It also touches on the wild story of why ILB almost never happened at all!

Absolutely love that Dan is continuing the grand toku tradition of broken visor shots 😍😍
Covers for IMMORTAL LEGEND BATMAN #6 — our big finale — are out in the wild! 😍😍
They’re by Dan Mora, @dinicuolo.bsky.social and Sarah Baslaim respectively!
Pre-order them to ensure you don’t miss them!
I sat down with @kyledhiggins.bsky.social and @matgroom.bsky.social on my interview channel to talk about their new Immortal Legend Batman series, with a full video on my main channel dropping tomorrow! www.youtube.com/watch?v=wspu...

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!
These pages drawn by Erica D’Urso, colored by Igor Monti, and lettered by @beccasee.bsky.social!
Preview pages for next week’s IMMORTAL LEGEND BATMAN #3 are out, and the first page spills the beans on what we’ve been hiding about this issue, sooooo…
What do you think?
🧩❔ Do you want to play a game? ❔🧩
I caught up on two of the coolest books in comics! I read #ImmortalLegendBatman by @matgroom.bsky.social @kyledhiggins.bsky.social Erica D’Urso and Dan Mora & #AbsoluteGreenLantern by @al-ewing.bsky.social, Jason Howard & Riley Rossmo! Check out my thoughts: bobgillinger.com/blog/1015-br...
Honestly, that makes me feel much better. Thank you.
