So got my hands on Tales from the Bayou collection and was a bit surprised by Azz/Capullo story. It reads like a set up for a new villain, but nothing more came out of it? With recent news about Batman/Spawn I started wondering if something similar wasn't planned here as well? Because Lord Barren, from what we heard about him in those 12 pages, sounds very similar to The Rot and likely would feel redundant, unless it wasn't supposed to be a DC thing.
