@matgroom.bsky.social returns to discuss his projects Inferno Girl Red: Book 2, Immortal Legend Batman & more! @mvcentral.bsky.social @blackmarketnar.bsky.social linktr.ee/TalkingSMAC #IndiePodcast #ComicPodcast #ComicBooks #Batman #PowerRangers #MassiveVerse #InfernoGirlRed #ChristinaVee

I appreciate ANYONE who takes the time to review + discuss my work. I do especially appreciate Bob, though — because he consistently validates the extra effort of exploring complex themes, layering worldbuilding and pushing your craft (by proving there are folks out there who value that richness).

I commissioned an IMMORTAL LEGEND BATMAN sketch cover from the great (and lovely!) @jakebartok.bsky.social! I love how it came out 😍 I’m actually collecting ILB sketch covers by Australian artists, another one on the way soon… any guesses as to who?

It’s true, after 5 years, what started with THE RISE OF ULTRAMAN… ends with THE FALL OF ULTRAMAN!

AIPT@aiptcomics.com · 10mo ago

The Ultraman era at #MarvelComics is coming to an end. 💥 Writers @kyledhiggins.bsky.social & @matgroom.bsky.social team up with artist Davide Tinto for THE FALL OF #ULTRAMAN, the climactic one-shot closing a 5-year saga of kaiju, courage, and cosmic destiny. 🌌⚡ #comicsky Details:

Why’s IMMORTAL LEGEND BATMAN #3 got folks saying “one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen in a comic” (@KaijuUnited.bsky.social) “one of the most out of the box from the big 2” (@getyourcomicon.bsky.social) “feels genuinely new for the Dark Knight” (@kpbcomics.bsky.social) ? It’s a 🧩!

Mr. @comicdrake.com just released a video on IMMORTAL LEGEND BATMAN! If you’ve been curious about our little series, wondering if you should pick it up… I recommenced watching this! It also touches on the wild story of why ILB almost never happened at all! youtu.be/GZdt-UPkMwA?...

‘Immortal Legend Batman’ #3 invites readers to tap into their inner Dark Knight

Yes, this is a Batman with a sword, and it's freaking awesome.

IMMORTAL LEGEND BATMAN #3 is out today — and we're taking a big, weird swing. It's a story. It's more insight into what shaped our Bruce Wayne. But it's also a playable puzzle. Very curious to see/hear what you all think!

Preview pages for next week’s IMMORTAL LEGEND BATMAN #3 are out, and the first page spills the beans on what we’ve been hiding about this issue, sooooo… What do you think? 🧩❔ Do you want to play a game? ❔🧩

Hey so normally at this point I’d do a little graphic showing off some pull quotes and review scores for IMMORTAL LEGEND BATMAN #2… …but right now I have a fever and am not up to it, so could y’all just do me favour, trust me that the reviews are great and go buy it? Please?

‘Immortal Legend Batman’ #2 pushes its Dark Knight to his limits

Immortal Legend Batman #2 continues to flesh out this bold new Elseworlds.

aiptcomics.com

Our IMMORTAL LEGEND BATMAN #5 covers are out there— by Dan Mora, @tokitokoro.bsky.social + Ethan Young!! 😍😍 Unfortunately for our Batman, the rumors are true… there really is not any place quite like home…

I had high hopes for Immortal Legend Batman after chatting with @matgroom.bsky.social about it. It exceeded my expectations with a fresh galactic take on our favorite caped cohort. The toku element fits it so well and immediately builds in a legacy.

So here’s one of those weird little quirks of comic scheduling…. Last week, SPIDER-VERSE VS VENOMVERSE #4 dropped. Next week, SPIDER-VERSE VS VENOMVERSE #5 drops! And then we’ll be done! Weird! Thanks to everyone who joined us on the journey! 🙏

IMMORTAL LEGEND BATMAN #1 came out last week... but did you know that wasn't the only issue featuring our new hero to come out then? Check out the bottom left of the first page of JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED #10 (from ILB progenitor Dan Mora and ILB contributor @tamrabonvillain.bsky.social)!

It’s always so fun to chat to these fine gents, and I was so honored to be on for EPISODE 100!! 🎉🎉🎉 We chat IMMORTAL LEGEND BATMAN, SPIDER-VERSE VS VENOMVERSE, and INFERNO GIRL RED: BOOK TWO! Check it out!

I had the pleasure of reading an advance copy of Immortal Legend Batman and it kicks so much ass! The mythology that @kyledhiggins.bsky.social and @matgroom.bsky.social built for this world is super fascinating and I really vibe with the aesthetic and atmosphere.

Did this comic end with the greatest thing I’ve ever seen in my life? Yes! Am I going to spoil it? No! Should you read my review? You absolutely should! I read #SpiderversevsVenomverse by @matgroom.bsky.social @kyledhiggins.bsky.social & Jim Towe! Check it out here: bobgillinger.com/blog/723-com...
