Man-Bat #1

Man-Bat is on the run from the law following a horrific night of blood and mayhem on the streets of Gotham. But the police aren’t what Kirk Langstrom’s monstrous alter ego should worry about…it’s Task Force X, better known as the Suicide Squad. To undo the damage he caused, Man-Bat must seek out a cure for the innocents he has injured, all while staying out of the deadly sights of the world’s most dangerous mercenaries!
Man-Bat #2
Written by Dave Wielgosz Pencils Sumit Kumar Inks Sumit Kumar Colored by Romulo Fajardo Jr. Cover by Kyle Hotz, Alejandro Sanchez Release Date: March 2, 2021
Kirk Langstrom’s mental state has been deteriorating for years, but in the wake of his violent altercation with the Suicide Squad, he’s found himself on the verge of a complete emotional collapse. Luckily (or unluckily) for Kirk, Dr. Harleen Quinzel is offering pro bono-and entirely unsolicited-psychological counseling.
As Harley delves deep into his damaged mind, she uncovers tragic events that set the stage for his transformation into Man-Bat in the first place. Will her psychotic brand of psychology help Kirk make peace with his inner demons or leave his mind even more fractured than it was?

Pareil. Le gars de Black Science, c’est frappant.
Mora, il a visiblement regardé d’autres choses. Y a un peu de Murphy, mais un peu de Jim Lee aussi. C’est plus disparate, comme influence. Et surtout, le résultat est nettement meilleur qu’ici.
Scalera ?
J’ai pourtant l’impression qu’il est presque de la même génération que Murphy (en gros, plus récent, mais pas au point d’être influencer par Murphy). Mais je peux évidemment me tromper.
Sur la couv’, tous ces gens masqués autour de Man-Bat… C’est comme ça qu’ils fabriquent le vaccin, à partir de la chauve-souris d’où provient le coronavirus, c’est ça ?
Je suis perdu.
Scalera a dessiné Katana récemment ?
Parce que c’est ça que je dis : Mora est bien meilleur que Scalera parce qu’il puise à plein d’autres sources. Et parce que, à la base, il dessine mieux.
