About the author

Doug Moench, is an American comic book writer notable for his Batman work and as the creator of Black Mask, Moon Knight and Deathlok. Moench has worked for DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Dark Horse Comics and many other smaller companies; he has written hundreds of issues of many different comics, and created dozens of characters, such as Moon Knight. In 1973, Moench became the de facto lead writer for the Marvel black-and-white magazine imprint Curtis Magazines. He contributed to the entire runs of Planet of the Apes, Rampaging Hulk (continuing on the title when it changed its name to The Hulk!) and Doc Savage, while also serving as a regular scribe for virtually every other Curtis title during the course of the imprint's existence. Moench is perhaps best known for his work on Batman, whose title he wrote from 1983–1986 and then again from 1992–1998. (He also wrote the companion title Detective Comics from 1983–1986.)

Moench is a frequent and longtime collaborator with comics artist Paul Gulacy. The pair are probably best known for their work on Shang-Chi: Master of Kung Fu, which they worked on together from 1974–1977. They also co-created Six from Sirius, Slash Maraud, and S.C.I. Spy, and have worked together on comics projects featuring Batman, Conan the Barbarian and James Bond.

Moench has frequently been paired with the artist and inker team of Kelley Jones and John Beatty on several Elseworlds Graphic Novels and a long run of the monthly Batman comic.

Bruce and Alfred go in search of Tim's Dad. Azrael is only getting worse as Batman.

This was a great issue with cameos of Jason Todd (yes I am counting Tim mentioning him as a cameo, leave me alone I am a Jason stan starved for content), Oracle, twice a mention of Harold (I am counting this too since he’s been gone for so many issues I don’t even remember the last time I saw him and I honestly like him a lot) and none other than my girl Selina Kyle.

It’s incredibly bizarre to see a blond man with the Batman suit, when he’s cowled at least he’s drawn like Bruce so it’s not as visually aggravating.

Cover: 1.5* Who is in the wheelchair? Bruce or Tim's dad. And why is Batman's body made of sweetcorn.
Title: The Venom Connection
Art: 3.5*
Story: 3* Oh my, JP has really lost the plot. Shame cos I like him when he's not completely bonkers.

The venom connection

[Steven Shinder · Rating 4 out of 5]

Jean Paul continues to be aggressive as Batman, and that's a problem.
