My Buddy, Killer Croc

[Hypo]

My Buddy, Killer Croc is a charming tale of a boy in a new school, his new friends and enemies, and the super-villain who teaches him how to put the bullies in their place.

Andy is new to Gotham. He’s shy and quiet and in need of friends. Then he meets his wrestling hero, Waylon Jones, now known as Killer Croc. How will Andy react when he finds out the truth about his idol?

Andy, like a lot of kids, feels a little lost and out of place when he moves to Gotham. He’s quiet and shy…and a little worried that the scar on his face makes him stick out. Some classmates make him feel welcome, and others don’t. But Andy has a secret.

Back in Florida, his dad introduced him to the wrestler Waylon Jones, and Andy’s pretty sure he’s in Gotham now, too. If Andy can find him and ask for some wrestling tips, he can have it all. Finding Jones won’t be too hard, either…because in Gotham, Jones goes by the name Killer Croc! Trouble is, Batman is looking for Andy’s childhood hero, too.

How sweet.
Can’t wait for my BFF Zsasz.

This looks cute. I feel like of all the Rogues Croc usually gets played the most sympathetically, so I kind of see where they're coming from.

(Also looks like they're giving him a literal tail).

[TheRay]

I think Riddler, Two Face, and Mr. Freeze get sympathy points.

[Drako]

I would be fearful for this kid if this was called "My Buddy, Sobek".

[GamerSlyRatchet]

Pretty off-beat premise for these books, but I'll take it. We already got villain protags with Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and even Mr. Freeze.

I can't wait for the kids GN about nerdy Edward Nygma trying to impress his crush Barbara Gordon .

[Vakanai]

Could be cute and/or good. Interesting anyways.

In all seriousness, I think Solomon Grundy would be a good rogue to play off for sympathy in a story like this if this sort of thing continues onward.

True, but Croc is probably more recognizable/popular than Grundy.

[TheRay]

Right, that's why I said if they continue with this.

This should be out this coming week.

This should be out this coming week.

Ah, I had totally forgotten about this...

Well, in All Star Comics #33, some kids invited Grundy to play marbles with them, but his misshapen fingers couldn't shoot right so he had a TANTRUM!

This sounds like a neat, cute, and sympathetic story that I would like to read. I've always enjoyed Killer Croc and feel he leans on the misunderstood villain side. Well depending on who's writing him. If that art is anything to go by it'll be a cute read. Bring on the croc!
