Sorry you had to find out this way, Chip. But surely you must've known that Batman likes to play the field.

Hi Jason! Can you confirm that you’ll be at New York Comic Con this year? You’re listed as a guest on the website but I noticed it’s not in your upcoming appearances list here on Substack. Please advise. Thank you!

Jason Aaron's avatar

Yes, I'll be there. Gonna send out a newsletter this week with info.

This looks awesome . I really enjoyed your Penguin yarn from many moons ago and am thrilled to see you given a larger DC canvas to paint with! Hopefully, we will also see new SCALPED collections as well.

This sounds very exciting.

What a wild idea. I sense a theme between this, your Avengers run, and Sea of Stars - big, fun stories that are Starlin-esque. Any Batman issues I should read to prime myself?

Jason Aaron's avatar

No, this isn’t directly connected to any previous Batman stories. But it’s definitely got some Atari Force and Omega Men and Year One in its DNA.

Neat! Couldn't ask for a better Batman collaborator for a space mission!

So excited about this news! Been very curious for a while, what your DC stuff would be like, and for it to be Batman, this will be great

I've been waiting for you to write Batman for a long time. Not usually a fan of the more fantastical space stuff when it comes to Batman but I'm sure you'll make it cool.

Then hopefully later you can do some proper mystery/action/adventure Batman stuff and show Chip how it's done. He clearly needs help.

Jason Aaron's avatar

It's definitely got a gritty sci fi vibe to it. This is a young Batman, not too far removed from Year One, so the fun is in seeing that guy deal with these sorta alien threats for the first time.
