Take a closer look at Dick Sprang's awesome Batcave print

The Comics Alliance offers an in-depth analysis of this wonderful Batcave print by famed artist Dick Sprang. I wish I owned a copy of this. It's a treasure trove of Batman history and just plain fun.

Wire creators talk about new series

NPR interviews David Simon and Eric Overmyer about their new HBO series "Treme."

Unlike The Wire, Treme is not about drugs or rampant corruption among city officials. Instead, the series follows ordinary New Orleans citizens as they attempt to rebuild their lives following Hurricane Katrina. Overmyer tells Terry Gross that the decision to leave the grittiness behind in Baltimore was a conscious choice.
"We spent almost a decade working on The Wire," Overmyer says. "In New Orleans, there's a different story here to tell and we're very intent on that. There are some things that may echo in terms of our production logic, or how we approach doing a show, but it's really a very different story."

Neal Adams details his new Batman project

The legendary Bat-artist is both writing and illustrating Batman: Odyssey, a 12-issue series that debuts in July.

The story of "Batman: Odyssey" will challenge readers basic assumptions about who Batman is in the modern era through a series of challenges, encounters and journeys. "In a way, Batman has become sort of outdated," said Adams of how he sees the character today. "Even in the movies, they've had to put armor on him and do things to him that have made him stiff and uncomfortable. And they've had to deal with the question of how does Batman – who comes from a time of gangsters and pistols and minimal armament – come into a time where we seem to have the most powerful guns, the most frightful explosive devices...we seem to be in a time where gangsters are armed in a ridiculous manner. There used to be a time where Batman was worried about whether or not a guy doing a mugging had a gun. Today, a guy pulls out a gun as long as his leg and starts firing at Batman.
