Page ChewingThis Comic Feels Like a Nightmare | Panel Chewing #148
This week on Panel Chewing, we're talking Batman, dropping comics from our pull lists, discovering some unexpected favorites and reading a comic that feels like an actual nightmare. We kick things off with a list of the Top 10 standalone Batman stories, including The Long Halloween, Hush, The Court of Owls, The Killing Joke, Year One, and The Dark Knight Returns. Some placements make sense. Others? We're not so sure. We also discover a couple of Batman stories we somehow haven't read yet. Then we dig into this week's comics, including Cruel Kingdom Vol. 2 #1, Fury of the Firestorm #6, Honor and Curse: Eternal #6, The Omega Book #2, Rook: Exodus #11, The Dirt Beneath the Devil #2, The Forever Home #1, and Witness Point #2. Some books are getting better. Some are hanging on by a thread. And one finally gets cut from the pull list. For Picks of the Week, Jarrod catches up with Steve's pick from last week, Karmen Blade #1, and falls for its strange, surreal dark-fantasy world. Steve's pick is The Eye Collector #3, a bizarre horror comic that's haunting, uncomfortable, dreamlike and almost impossible to explain. Finally, our Lone Wolf and Cub readalong reaches Volume 16, where the series continues exploring the people caught beneath the systems of Edo-period Japan. We also wrestle with a difficult question: How different are Ogami and Retsudo when it comes to what they're willing to put their children through? Join us for Batman, weird comics, tough cuts, our Picks of the Week, and another journey down the assassin's road.
