It’s that time again, folks.

We had such a fun time talking FIRST WAVE #1 on Twitter last week that it was a no-brainer to do it again. This time, there are two issues on the table: Writer Grant Morrison and new artist Andy Clarke’s BATMAN AND ROBIN #10 and the JUSTICE LEAGUE: RISE AND FALL SPECIAL, by writer J.T. Krul and artists Diogenes Neves, Mike Mayhew and Fabrizio Fiorentino.

So here’s the deal: Swing by your local comic shop, pick up those two comics (and anything else that strikes your fancy) and sign in to Twitter today at 6:30pm EST to chat with Jim Lee and Geoff Johns about the issues as we all read ‘em together. Don’t have a Twitter account? No worries. Signing up is easy.

And don’t forget to hashtag your posts with “#DCreader” to help everyone keep tabs on the conversation.

See you then!

Rising star artist Andy Clarke joins writer Grant Morrison just in time to see the new Dark Knight face off against the new Boy Wonder — thanks to the manipulations of Ms. Talia al Ghul. But is everything as it seems? Probably not. Hopefully the pages below can serve as a bit of a clue. And did I mention this issue ties in directly to THE RETURN OF BRUCE WAYNE? Well, it does.

BATMAN AND ROBIN #10 hits 3/10.

Writer Grant Morrison and artist Cameron Stewart conclude their epic tale, and with only months under his belt as Batman, will Dick Grayson faces perhaps the biggest threat of his life? In hopes of attaining his heart’s desire, has Dick instead unleashed a terror the likes of which the world has never seen?

BATMAN AND ROBIN #9 hits 2/24.

Did the RETURN OF BRUCE WAYNE covers from Friday sate your hunger for Batman news? We didn’t think so.

Luckily, BATMAN AND ROBIN double-ships this month, and the creative team supreme of Grant Morrison and artist Cameron Stewart continue the “Blackest Knight” storyline with #8.

Only months into his new role as Batman, Dick Grayson faces perhaps the biggest threat of his life. In hopes of attaining his heart’s desire, has Dick instead unleashed a terror the likes of which the world has never seen?

Meanwhile, back in Gotham City, Alfred and a recuperating Robin are at the mercy of someone both fearsome and familiar. But don’t let my words sell you on how great this issue is. Check out some pages below.

Nice way to end the work week, if I do say so myself.

So, new comic book day is almost over. Did you get a chance to swing by the shop? If not, you really should. It’s a busy week for the DCU, with a ton of books shipping, and lots of stuff happening in said book. One title featuring some major shakeups is BATMAN AND ROBIN #7, which kicks off an arc that teams artist Cameron Stewart with regular writer Grant Morrison.

We showed off the first page of the issue on Monday along with a preview yesterday, but those of you that have the issue in hand know that there was one page in particular that stood out. For more, click below. Spoiler alert, and all that, if you haven’t made it to the shop yet.

Yesterday, we showed off a page from BATMAN AND ROBIN #7 — and it was a doozy. But why stop there? We’ve got the first five pages from the issue here, courtesy of the superstar team of writer Grant Morrison and artist Cameron Stewart.

BATMAN AND ROBIN #7 hits tomorrow. Swing back later tomorrow for a closer look at the issue.

Let’s see if we can double that, courtesy of this page from artist Cameron Stewart.

Take a day to catch your breath. And check back tomorrow for a full preview.
