ALL-STAR BATMAN #5, #6, #7 COVERS

[MattBrady]

At the Gelatometti blog, Jim Lee has posted the pencils to the covers of All-Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder #5, #6, and #7.

Issue #5 is currently slated for a May 16th release, according to the latest from DC. The solicitation for the issue reads:

Written by Frank Miller; Art and cover by Jim Lee and Scott Williams; Variant cover by Miller

The pulse-pounding adventure continues with the All Star creative team of Frank Miller, Jim Lee and Scott Williams! The Batman puts Dick Grayson to the ultimate test, and the orphaned aerialist must make a difficult choice before becoming Robin, the Boy Wonder! Retailers please note: This issue will ship with two covers.

[Colonsus]

Sweet art.

Just think, in a mere 6-10 months, it'll be inked and in press!

WHOOO!

One quick question, though- can a comic be "pulse-pounding" when it comes out once or twice a year? Seems like it leaves everyone's pulse pretty glacial most of the time...

[rodolfo leon]

holy cow! Jim Lee is on top of his game!

[Mazukan]

These all look so amazing.

[Baka baka]

It's kind of sad that the art can be so nice but the book is so so bad.

[EyesBL7]

Im having a hard time accepting the fact that the fan community is still going to support this debacle We truly are our own worst enemies.

[dantebk]

I haven't enjoyed a single issue but I'll keep buying them.

What? Is that hypocrisy? Or even worse a meta-comment on hypocrisy?

No, I just think they're funny and I like knowing what people are talking about when they goof on them... and they come out so infrequently that they don't impact my budget... if it was a monthly I would have to drop it...

yeah well... it's just that...

i mean, if you look at it from a different persp... well...

ehm...

it's not like its...

...



you know what? you're right.

[Darquehex]

Wait, what?

Did I miss something or has Jim Lee placing his two books on hold for the better part, and in this case over, a year not had any negative effect on him?

I mean, really, is anyone here enjoying All Star Batman...?

[gsam4ever]

Ahhhhhhhh.... I remember the good ol' days when books came out on time like The Ultimates (wel..), Civil War(umm..), oh forget it.

[Wade Wilson]

No script for WildC.A.T.S. therefore no pencils.

[MurrayC]

Take a look at the Batgirl cover....

At first glance, it looks like Batgirl has one wicked Camel Toe!

Hell, yes. This art is beautiful, the writing is so bad it's funny. Obviously I'm not enjoying the book as a straight up Batman story, but as a parody on Batman, but still...

[froinlaven]

These are gonna be awesome when they come out in 2015.

Yes, I, for one, am enjoying it.

Advertising covers for books that are, more than likely, months or years from ever being completed... if ever....

Ladies and gentlemen, the new Rob Liefeld.....

[Kenro]

I'll keep buying it as it's probably the best art book on the market (Who really buys it for the story?).

Meanwhile I can't wait for All-Star Superman #8.

Well then go read something else. Jim Lee probably don't really need fans like you.

Anyway, the covers are tight as sh*** ! Way da go Jim, keep on drawing amigo !

[Snikkas]

You know what goes well with covers, Actual Issues. Just a thought DC, just a thought

[theprimedreamer]

Too little, too late; thank goodness for Batman in 'Tec, JLA, & Batman.

[johnny.blaze]

Like the issues before it, I'm definitely going to buy it whenever it comes out. n for all you haters out there, you know what? This book *will* be in the top 5 in sales for *whatever* month it comes out. 'nuf sed

[Quetzal]

Wow, I was expecting something like that, after a looooooooong time!!!!!!
Jim Lee... the man!!!!

[Jay Figgs]

Wow.

He managed to slut Canary up even MORE. Miller must have had a real effect on Lee, now she's not even afforded the little dignity the jacket provided her.

[Awake1313]

I love this book - shoot holes at me, I don't care, thats all people seem to do on this site, so here goes: Frank Miller's story is great, and although its BS that it took so long, Jim Lee is the man. Now who is gonna be the one to make fun of me first?

[artiepants]

sweet art, but given the abysmal non-story an easy pass.
