Blank cover from original solicitation.

That's pretty slick.

>Obligatory big guy comment.

Jesus Christ how horrifying

I really like this sequence. More than I think I should.

>Tell me I'm a big guy

I PROMISED MYSELF I WOULDN'T READ THE PREVIEWS FOR TOM KING'S BOOKS.
BUT I CAN'T HELP MYSELF FOR THIS.

HOLY HECK THAT WAS SICK.

Tell me I'm the biggest of them all

Im so god damn hyped for King to handle Bane. He hasn't been done justice in so long.

>Cred Forums doubted King

>Tell me I'm big enough

>Of...of course, mr. b-b-B-BANE?

BANE?

This based colorist is gonna save Janins 3d models

>Bane just wants to use Psycho Pirate to kick his addiction to Venom

This is an interesting turn of events

This looks fantastic, which is a big relief after Monster Men which just feels like meaningless filler.

So fucking cool

...

Holy christ is King in therapy? I love his work but I really worry about this guy sometimes.

I mean, this kind of literal tortured childhood for Bane is nothing new; even the "I wanted to die so much but I just couldn't do it" aspect isn't exactly new for Bane. So I wouldn't think it's King revealing his inner demons, so much as beautiful showcasing Bane's.

I think writing angsty comics IS his therapy.

I think King actually makes Janin standout. He was really good in Grayson as well. His action sequences, panelling and background were really good. you could see the difference when he was drawing jld and Superman. The colorist plays a huge part here as well.

Can't wait for the monster crap to end and this to start.

Im enjoying the Monster Men. Its only 5 issues across all books and is halfway over, chill out.

His work in final days of superman was the best part of that crossover though.

Fuck off.

And King's writing Jason in his next arc, so maybe he'll be rescued from the shit list as well

not the next arc, I am Suicide is the next arc. then 2 issue filler that is probably about duke and gotham girl and then I am Bane arc starts.

Mate, this looks fucking sick.

Based King. His run so far has been great.

So much better than Snyder's run so far and I am probably the biggest fan of that run on Cred Forums

Holy shit he's like over 7 feet tall without venom.

Wait so it's
>I am Gotham
>NotMM
>I am Suicide
>I am Bane

And that's kind of the first 20 issues right? Damn this guy plotted ahead nicely.

Unpopular confession time
>i never really liked Bane.

>implying Red Hood isn't the best Bat/Trinity related book DC is publishing right now

You kind of have to when double shipping just to give the artists enough lead time

You've terrible taste.

He said he's plotted up to the mid-20s prior to Rebirth's launch.

Someone get this hothead outta here.

Superman is.

I mean dude this is Bane's origin.

Yeah the coloring is pretty good

shitty besides the last issue?

it's been good all along? Except the Rebirth issue.

isn't dick gong to be in it too.

Source? I highly doubt this.

...

Hope Dick and Jason are both in it. They are rarely together.

>Catwoman costarring in Suicide.
>Jason costarring in Bane.
Who next?

Jean?

what use would Jason have with taking down Bane, all Batman needs is Duke.

would be interesting if he had a growth condition that the vemon reduced the pain for
like those giant people whos bodies cant handle being that size

You have to when you're double shipping

Hitch said he's like up to scripting issue 20 something right now

well Bane was pretty much intended from his creation to be "Doc Savage but a bad guy", so it makes sense that he's huge even without Venom

man this is great, never expected I'd get feels out of Bane of all people

Shoo shoo Snyder

Azrael BABY

Jason guesting is a surprise, does he have a history with Bane?

you mean boring as fuck

no he died before Bane showed up, but does.

There was that fight in Batman and Robin eternal.

I can already tell I'm not going to like this art.

Makes sense why you're a Jason fan now.

Im glad there's someone else thats willing to go deep with Bane, Gail Simone was the last writer that tried something good with the character.

Hopefully, this arc will be better than the previous one.

Good taste, user. And I totally agree.

Looks fantastic, to be honest.

TELL ME ABOUT THE PIRATE. WHY DOES HE WEAR THE MASK?

even if the rest of his run is meh at least he'll be one of like 3 writers that ever did anything worthwhile with bane beyond him being a dumb brute
