Return of Bruce Wayne Hardcover Coming This Week

Hey guys,

I just wanted to drop by and remind you guys that Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne Deluxe Edition Hardcover comes out this Wednesday, and if you'd like, you can go ahead and click on the image below, and preorder it from Amazon to guarantee that you get yourself a copy.

Obviously, I read this in single issues, but I clearly remember a lot of people hating it primarily due to the delays associated with the book, so the hardcover collection will take away all of those problems, and I for one think that reading it as a collected edition will be extremely beneficial since it will read seamlessly.

It retails for $29.99, but you can get it from Amazon for only $20.24! It's a great deal for the awesome 200+ page oversized format. So pick it up, I know I will.

Also, how can you go wrong with Pirate Batman?

The Return of Bruce Wayne #4: Preview

I have not had too much experience with Mr. Jeanty's work, but these preview pages certainly have me salivating for Wednesday's Return of Bruce Wayne

Twitbits: News from Twitter

Hey there Gotham,

Are you on Twitter? Do you follow the Bat-family of creators? If the answer to either of those questions is "no", I suggest you change that ASAP!

Cameron Stewart, (@cameronmstewart) artist on Batman & Robin #6-9 and Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne #3 and Dave Baron (@MyZombies), colorist on Detective Comics #861-863 both dropped a little bit of info concerning some future books they are working on.

Baron mentioned that he is the colorist on the upcoming Batman Beyond mini-series, and he also linked and mention the art of Ryan Benjamin, the artist on Batman Beyond.

Also, Stewart has been updating his blog consistently with art from his upcoming issue of The Return of Bruce Wayne, in which we see Cowboy Bruce!

Return of Bruce Wayne: The Covers

After a little bit of time in Photoshop, I've been able to give you the "bigger picture" of The Return of Bruce Wayne. Hope you enjoy!

Personally, I am going to do my own coloring for this, just for kicks and giggles, leave comments if you want to see them ;)

But seriously, look at that beautiful artwork from Andy Kubert!
