Lord KMacsworth III of Inkshire and Sir Yexington, Man of Comic Sans Letters bring you this time a heartpounding tale about a denary nighttides for a Slavic savage killing all in is path while being hunted by the Detective. The fashion minded killer won’t stop until all of those involved with creation of U.S. Millenium Falcon are мертвый. Can the Dark Knight get a step ahead in time to save the Gipper? Nancy does not D.A.R.E. to ask what will happen after 10 Nights of the Beast.

- A Complete Story Telling Ride: The covers make you want to read the book, the story keeps you turning the page, and the art and panel layout keeps the right pace for four fun issues.
- Batman gets the Beat Down: Proto-Bane just whales on the Bats. Two gunshots through the same shoulder hole. Good planning Dark Knight.
- Batman, the Detective: Only Batman can harass every street hood to find out where a Russian assassin hunting the president is. Gotham is his home and he knows every sewer storage room cul de sac.
- Reagan!: If you’re going to tell the ultimate 80s Cold War Story, you better not back off in featuring Ronnie hangin’ with Commissioner Gordon.

2024 World Cup of Beers - Guinness St. Pat's Off, and Irish Mutants
Sláinte or something, you dark beer loving spring drinkers. The boys are ready to rate Emerald Isle beers so you know what you must drink when wearing silly slogan-ed green tees to avoid getting pinched. That’s right, we review all three types of proper Irish black gold: Guinness stout. And after we down a few, we riff on which comics characters are shameless stereotyped Leprechauns. Poor little guys. All they want to do is grant some wishes, keep their pot of gold, and hang in the ‘hood.
Brewery: St. James's Gate Brewery, Dublin, Ireland
Guinness Extra Stout
Style: Irish Dry Stout, 5.6% ABV,
First Available: 1821
Tasting Notes: Hopped, bitter chocolate woody Black Tom flavors that drive you mad for a Juggernaughtin'.
Rating: 3.6/5
Guinness Foreign Extra Stout
Style: Irish Dry Export Stout, 7.5% ABV,
First Available: 1801
Tasting Notes: Coffey, full bodied enough to let your Scottish girlfriend cut your face off and wear it without emitting your Banshee wail.
Rating: 3.7/5
Guinness Draught
Style: Irish Dry Stout, 4.2% ABV,
First Available: 1959
Tasting Notes: So slinky, smooth you got to use a “gh” instead of an “f” and want to replace an “e” with a “y” to sing a Siryn song of Pogues lyrics.
Rating: 3.85/5
