Geekscape Comics: Damian Wayne Returns To DC This October!

by Derek Kraneveldt

That didn’t last long.

Damian Wayne suffered a pretty horrific death in Batman Inc. #8 back in February, but that doesn’t mean that we won’t be seeing him around.

A new Damnian Wayne centric miniseries titled Damnian: Son of Batman is set to launch this October. The four issue series is written and illustrated by Andy Kubert, and heads into a future where Damian survives and eventually takes on the role of Batman.

Whether Damian permanently returns following the series is still unknown, but of course it wouldn’t be the first time that a character came back from the dead.

In speaking to the New York Post, Kubert States “I had a big affinity for Damian when I drew Batman issue #666 (in 2007). I really liked that Batman and always wanted to revisit him. Damian is a bit different than the ‘Bruce Wayne’ Batman. Grant Morrison tweaked his character in a way that made it very endearing for me to draw. And to write. Basically, what I’m doing is exploring the path that Damian has taken to become Batman. I think readers will see him in a different light than before.”

The first issue of Damian: Son of Batman  will release on October 30th. Take a look at some key art for the series below, and let us know if you’ll be adding it to your pull list!

Damian Wayne – R.I.P.

by Derek Kraneveldt

Tomorrow’s edition of Batman Incorporated will feature a very unexpected death. Damian Wayne, the 10 year old son of Bruce Wayne and Talia Al Ghul will fall victim to an assassin cloned from his very own genes. Dang.

 

If he has to go… at least he goes out a hero, writer Grant Morrison confirmed that “He saves the world. He does his job as Robin. He dies an absolute hero.”

 

Damian’s death has been crafted to focus how parents can lose sight of their children when they fight. It’s certainly an interesting time to kill the character off, as the current Boy Wonder is much loved by fans of the DC Universe.

 

Again, Damian will lose his final fight in tomorrow’s Batman Incorporated #8; the death will be reflected throughout the DC Universe. Check out the issue’s cover below (a clear homage to Morrison’s Batman RIP), let us know what you think! How will you handle Damian’s death? How do you think that Bruce will take it?

Geekscape Comics: Grant Morrison Leaving Action Comics And Batman Incorporated

by Shawn Madden

An a recent interview with CBR, Grant Morrison made an announcement that is sure to be very upsetting to fans. Morrison announced that he would be stepping away from ongoing superhero books for the time being.

The ‘Action Comics’ run concludes with issue #16, ‘Batman Incorporated’ wraps up my take with issue #12, and after that I don’t have any plans for monthly superhero books for a while. ‘Multiversity’ is eight issues and I’m 30-odd pages into a Wonder Woman project but those are finite stories.

While the news of Morrison working on a Wonder Woman project may make Geekscape writer Eric Diaz quite happy the rest of the news here is sure to disappoint a number of Morrison’s fans.
