He then began writing Batman for DC Comics, making him one of the highest-profile comic book writers in the direct market today. Though I don’t see his name on any of the Absolute Universe projects yet, Marvel’s Ultimate line or the Energon Universe from Skybound/Image, so what’s up with that? He also publishes Public Domain and Kaptara through Substack, picked up by Image…
And now Zdarsky Comic News!
