No one has mentioned the ending of BATMAN and DETECTIVE with the Neil Gaiman issues. Check out this interview with Gaiman himself from Splashpage.mtv... here's a quote with some of the more interesting items highlighted:
“It’s one of those things where they phoned me up and said, ‘This is what we’d like you to do,’” Gaiman started to say. “It wasn’t even ‘This is what we’d like you to do,’ it was, ‘This is what’s going to be happening with Batman. Would you like to write the last issue of Batman and the last issue of Detective Comics?’ And when they make an offer like that, you say yes.”
Gaiman also says he expects the books to be out in Febuary which is in line with the cancellation of the rest of the Bat-Family books.
October 3, 2008 6:00 am I'm going to miss the weekly "New Comic Preview" the most. I don't know how many books I have picked up because you guys put them on my radar. For example, I most like would not have picked up "Four Eyes" if it wasn't mention in this week's mini. It's now my pick of the week.
