- When Kevin broke into the comics biz years ago, the industry changed forever, as he truly made waves, taking his screenwriting talents and adapting them to a medium that’s been in his life since he was a child. Now, along with his good friend Walt Flanagan’s amazing art to go with the words, the duo have created a new 3 book miniseries titled “Batman: Cacophony” and issue #1 has been out a few weeks now taking over sales charts everywhere. Don’t have a copy yet? Order one from the Stash before the first run is sold out.
Aint It Cool News posts a very positive review of the book this week as part of the “Pull List” feature, read on for some choice passages.“…Kevin brings his trademark humor to a story of murder, drugs, and intrigue. The best part of this book hands-down is Onomatopoeia, a superb villain who first debuted during Kevin’s GREEN ARROW run. It’s perfect that he brings him back for this story, but it also brings up a gripe I have with DC. This guy is phenomenal – why do you not put him in more books!?!? Out of the four baddies who appear in the first issue, the others being Joker, Zsasz, and Deadshot, Onomatopoeia steals the show once again.”
“…I have to commend Walt Flannagan and his artwork. Traditionally he’s been the guy that sells comics at the Secret Stash in Red Bank or Walt the Fanboy in Smith’s movies, but the guy actually has some very serious talent.”
“…BATMAN: CACOPHONY #1 was an amazing return of Kevin Smith to DC Comics. Smith handles Batman like a true pro and masterfully runs us through the issue. Flanagan is a much welcome addition to the comic book world and the two are truly a dynamic duo together (bad pun well intended). This is a comic I can’t wait to get my hands on, so hopefully the rest of the series will come out on time.”
Books 2 and 3 are written and drawn, so expect to see them in your hands in the next couple of months. Then it’s just a matter to see what comic project Kevin will take on next – Hopefully once again with Flanagan’s awesome art to go with it.
