Pete’s Interview with Cameron Stewart
I finally got my Cameron Stewart interview uploaded onto ComicbookDaily.
We talk about his upcoming stint on Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne. (He’s doing the art for the Cowboy Batman issue.) Sea Guy, what it’s like to work with Grant Morrison and his feeling’s on the iPad. I’m pretty happy with it, and I hope you guys enjoy!
Don’t forget to check out What’s Shipping this week as volume one of Batman & Robin comes out! There’s a reason by I’m pushing it so hard and it really has to do with the level of quality. It’s seriously the best thing DC is putting out right now!

Pretty awesome stuff eh? This story was luckily reprinted in Batman: Ego and Other Tails… worth it’s place in your collection.
