Batman and Scott Pilgrim



This one was a request from my niece, who is a big fan of the Scott Pilgrim comic series.  Bryan Lee O'Malley must have done something right, because those comics and TPB's seem to have tapped into a demographic that mainstream comics have been unable to get the attention of.  I had heard mixed reviews of the movie, and I had never read the series, so I watched it with an open mind.  While visually very interesting and inventive, I felt that most of the humor fell flat and I didn't find Scott or Ramona to be all that likable.  Fans of the comics will probably like it though, I know my niece has given it multiple viewings!  BTW, the Batman image here is by the talented Ralph Cosentino.

    Okay, I'll say it. I lesbians both the comic and the movie, and think this is a great cover!

    Not sure, I stumbled onto the image on Deviant Art.

    Has anyone checked the Paul Pope story in BATMAN CHRONICLES #11(Winter 1998)? I thought I had a copy, but I can't find it. The reason I'm guessing it's him is the gloves. The figure has the clean minimal look of a lot of artists like Rude or Mignola, but Pope seems to love the reflective sheen of black vinyl or leather. The gloves have more detail than the rest of the figure combined.

    The batman illustration is from my series of super hero books which I wrote and illustrated. Pretty funny cover but please credit me Ralph Cosentino as the artist.

    Thanks! Keep up the fun work!

    Regards
    Ralph
