Dance, little Pyg, dance!

August 28, 2009 by

Batman and Robin has been quite amusing so far. It’s always fun to see a good artist try and make a coherent comic out of Grant Morrison’s stories, and Frank Quitely has a good stab at it, leading to a book that’s fun and readable. When Phillip Tan takes over next issue, we’ll see if that sticks.

Still, you have to wonder what Morrison was thinking of when he created the frankly quite disturbing Mr Pyg…


For once, I agree with Damian…


I may actually be warming to the little snot. There was a final nice touch, with the new team bonding and heading into a situation straight from the flashforward at the start of Batman RIP, back in Batman #676…


…although, really, would it have killed anyone to make the scenes tie together art-wise?

    It's Quitely, not Cassaday.

    Paul you're right of course – this is what happens when I type without thinking!

    Corrected now – thank you!

    Both are mind-blowingly awesome, so you are completely excused.

    Nice – Grant seemed to wonder off a bit lately but 'Batman and Robin' is one of his best works – it's good to have him back!

    I never did like Quietly's art very much; everyone always looks so ugly, even the heroes.

    Interesting to note the position of Robins arms in the Pyg sequence… Compare the location of Robin's left arm between the middle and bottom rows.
