Back Issue Banter #29: Batman Odyssey

About this episode

The episode reviews Neal Adams' challenging work, Batman Odyssey, and discusses its enigmatic nature.

For this change-of-pace episode we review one of the most interesting and challenging works of artist / writer Neal Adams, namely, his maxi series Batman Odyssey from the early 2010s. Describing this work is something that goes beyond mere words, as it's a challenging read from one of Batman's most famous creators and does not easily fit into any established genre, much less a traditional Batman story. But it did trigger a very interesting and involved conversation, as we try to puzzle out this um...enigmatic work. Your hosts are Brad Page and Chris Karam
