Zdarsky Substack
Speaking of DC, they just gave me an EXCLUSIVE SUBSTACK REVEAL! Apparently they’ll be collecting the Penguin/Catwoman backup stories that I did with the amazing Bélen Ortega into its OWN COMIC! More details to come, but it’s going to be called PENGUIN #0. Why is it called that and not, like, CATWOMAN V PENGUIN: DAWN OF JUSTICE? It’s even got DAWN in the name!! Nobody listens to me.
Pulls: Batman, Detective Comics, SiKtC, Catwoman, Nightwing, Titans, Godzilla, Wonder Woman, Batman & Robin, Brave and the Bold, No/One, Kill your Darlings, and Deviant.
My runs: Batman #230-, and Detective #420-

Now time to chat about The Penguin (Tom King, Rafael De Latorre, with a variant cover from Brian Bolland)... King mentions "The Scorsese Penguin... the Godfather Penguin...He goes where he wants to go... The exact opposite of Wonder Woman"
I'm always a bit intrigued by Tom King's writing at least at first . So it should be really interesting what he does with Penguin . Hopefully it's a crime book with emphasis on the Cobblepot long history in Gotham that may put him up against the Wayne's long history too . A more human looking Penguin would be cool too but still sinister looking.
Even if the book only lasts 12 issues , that seems to be the right length lately for King anyway.
got 2 read issue #1 this morning.
i really enjoyed the premise of the issue. of course the killing time is essential reading before this..
also the 1st pages of him and batman will tie to gotham war. since the story does a time jump to his 1st year living in metropolis.
highly recommend
Killing Time being essential reading is a turn-off. Didn´enjoy it as a whole or King´s takes on the characters.
One Bad Day Penguin was also not good. I might still buy it for Gaudiano´s moody artwork.
I cannot believe this will be worth the cost of producing and distributing this.
Keep your hands to yourself, leave other people's things alone, and be kind to one another.
