Description: Showdown at Ace Chemicals! Punchline’s construction of her Royal Flush Gang court draws the attention of Gotham City’s thriving Yakuza faction and Batman. All things come to a head at Ace Chemicals. Will Batman successfully stop Punchline and her court, or will the factory bring him another devastating failure?
En même temps, c’est Melnikov. Lui et Bogdanovic, ça fait maintenant quelques années qu’ils traînent. Et à mon avis, ils ont grandi avec Image, donc peut-être les Spawn de Capullo, ou The Creech ou ce genre de choses.
Encore un signe que le temps passe. Et plus on vieillit, plus il passe vite.
Bogdanovic est né en 1981. Il avait une douzaine d’années quand Capullo était sur Spawn (ou Creech, j’ai pas les dates précises), un bon âge pour être influencé.
Melnikov, je ne sais pas quel âge il a. Il me semble plus jeune.
Mais quoi qu’il en soit, tu as peut-être raison sur l’importance des Batman de Capullo, hein. Une chose me semble sûre : les editors ont bien perçu l’influence du premier sur les deux autres et compris qu’il fallait les garder sous la main.
Au niveau des visages je trouve notamment la seconde case avec Bruce et Dick. Pour moi ça fait très seconde période de Génération X. Je trouve qu’il y a un mix avec Capullo.
