NML Crossing, Episode 047 - Batman: No Man's Land #1 (1999)
Friday Mar 08, 2024
Friday Mar 08, 2024
It's taken us over two months... and many, many, many hours to get here... but, today we finally enter NO MAN'S LAND!
Welcome to the "new normal" where apples are worth more than diamonds, crudely-sharpened spears are more valuable than firearms, and the GCPD is nothing more than a roving street gang. The Penguin rules the roost, and Batman hasn't been seen in over three months... or, has he? We're laying the first few bricks in our massive year-spanning crossovent... and it's gonna be a good time (for us anyway, notsomuch the poor Gothamites).

We have finally arrived at the END of the Road to No Man's Land! Today we're officially drawing a line under Gotham City... the hard-luck town finally goes down for the count, but not before one more tango with one'a Nicholas Scratch's League of Losers! Plus... Cobra Commander?
Also: A great dive into the NMaiLbag!

NML Crossing, Episode 045 - Detective Comics #728 (1999)
Wednesday Mar 06, 2024
Wednesday Mar 06, 2024
It's the penultimate issue of the pre-No Man's Land era... and we're about to lower the bar on what it means to be an effective bad guy, cuz it's time to meet a few more of Nick Scratch's own personal goof-troop! Make way for the Dyna-Miteer and Tumult (as in, tumultuous)... and yes, they're as horrible as they sound. Perhaps moreso!
We do get a bit with Commissioner Gordon... applying for jobs outside Gotham City, which is actually far more interesting and discussion-worthy than it has any right being.
We're also going to track the Road to No Man's Land through four issues of Wizard Magazine that ran through this leg of our NML Crossing journey... with the news of a certain character from Batman: The Animated Series finally being added to the mainstream DCU!

NML Crossing, Episode 044 - Detective Comics #727 (1998)

Kicking off the final arc before we hit No Man's Land proper... which takes us back to Gotham City, for the war at home! Nicholas J. Scratch's minions are being unleashed to cause as much havoc as possible... as if it even matters anymore! The seams are, sadly, really starting to show for the Road to No Man's Land leg of our NML Crossing journey!
Plus: The NMaiLbag is a hoot... walkin' down memory lane chatting up those oddities in our comic collections we can hardly explain!

Monday Mar 04, 2024
Wrapping up the last pre-No Man's Land issue of the flagship, where the hammer finally (officially) drops on Gotham City. Bridges are bein' blowed up, and it's time for all good Gothamites to up-stakes and get the eff out. We also get some more ineptness from Nick Scratch and his crew of buffoons.
Plus: One'a dem "soul bearing" installments of the NMaiLbag!

NML Crossing, Episode 042 - Batman #561 (1999)
Friday Mar 01, 2024
Friday Mar 01, 2024
In which Bruce Wayne takes the stand and pleads the case for Gotham City to be bailed out by the United States government... and comes across as completely tone deaf and out of touch! Not a good outing for the fella I'm struggling to remember is also actually Batman! With advocates like this, who needs enemies?
Plus: The long-awaited (by me) return of the NMaiLbag!

Mr. Wayne Goes to Washington... and isn't off to the greatest of starts in his attempts to plead the case for saving Gotham City with the United States government!
Also... ugh, Nick Scratch.

With meds, food, and supplies completely depleted, Jeremiah Arkham needs to make a decision that brings with it some horrible consequences. Does he let all of the inmates starve to death... or, does he give them their freedom -- releasing them into the new-look Gotham City? Judging by Jerry's recent decision-making process, the answer ought to be clear!
Alan Grant and Mark Buckingham's time on Shadow ends in pretty spectacular fashion!
