Look, you can stop asking "Who do you think should be in the next Batman movie?" because we are beyond SICK of that question!!! Just stop it! Enough already!! Basta es basta!
(besides, the obvious answer is Robin an the Joker. Duh!)

However, I will tackle a few of the questions so many of you ask me over and over.

1) What do you consider to be the 'Must-Read' graphic novels?

Here's a good starter list of the Best of the Best (a couple clicks should take you to their Amazon listings)

Kingdom ComeBatman: The Dark Knight ReturnsBatman: Year OneWatchmenBatman: The Killing JokeV for VendettaPreacher Vol. 1: Gone to TexasThe League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 1Swamp Thing Vol. 1: Saga of the Swamp ThingMarvelsWantedThe Ultimates, Vol. 1Kick-Ass HCPunisher MAX, Vol. 1John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dangerous HabitsPunisher: Welcome Back, Frank Premiere HC (Punisher)Punisher MAX: BornRoninDaredevil Visionaries - Frank Miller, Vol. 1Wolverine by Claremont & Miller (Marvel Premiere Classic)Daredevil: The Man Without FearDaredevil Legends Vol. II: Born AgainDaredevil by Brian Michael Bendis & Alex Maleev Omnibus, Vol. 1Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 1: Power and ResponsibilityStray Bullets Vol. 1: Innocence of Nihilism (Stray Bullets (Graphic Novels))The Walking Dead Book 1 (Walking Dead)Invincible: The Ultimate Collection Volume 4Why I Hate SaturnThe Cowboy Wally ShowSuperman: Last SonMusic for Mechanics (Complete Love and Rockets, Book1) Vol. 1Ghost WorldMage: The Hero Discovered, Vol. 1Elektra by Frank Miller OmnibusBatman Legends of the Dark Knight Prey Series (Issues #11, #12, #13, #14 and #15.

2) You often mention having worked in the comic book industry. What comics did you work on?


Sorry, I'm not gonna post my resume here, but I freelanced for almost every company at one time or another. Possibly the most famous piece was this Spider-man poster that I collaborated on with Todd MacFarlane (which I stupidly forgot to sign).




3) I'd like to draw comics when I grow up. What books should I buy?

There's so many that can help you (mostly photo reference books), but these are the only books you'll ever NEED:

Hi Leon It's been a minute since I've posted a question due to college , and I just plowed through all the episodes from august of last year to now. I must ask of your opinion because I didn't hear you guys discuss DC's plan to end new 52 in 5 years when every book reaches issue 52 . With everything picking up from where it left off right after Blackest Night. Here is the link and the details http://www.comicvine.com/news/off-my-mind-the-new-52s-five-year-lim... But since this announcement DC hasn't give the fans a moment to breath with cancellation of "some" good books, writers being changed or leaving the company because of stupid ideas. Like trying to merge more vertigo series into the main universe such as I Zombie and some others as well as gimmicks to make major news and the shear bastardizing of the characters and what they stood for. In response fans haven't stopped calling DC on their bullshit in the fear that this may lead up to them remaking Crisis on Infinite earths. Sorry if that was too long it's been a while since I've done this

Dear Leon,

Considering your background as a colorist. Are there any books or resources that you'd recommend in order to get a better grasp of the fundamentals. I really want to give my stuff a sense of energy and make it look vibrant, and lately my art has been feeling rather dull.

I learned my sense of coloring from studying Richard Corben. Lots of contrast colors and double lighting.

Do you feel All-New X-men is pretty much, a more drawn out Days of Future Past with nice art and some nice character moments? 

Dear Leon,

So of course, the Nolanverse of Batman is over and Robin never made it to the big screen. It seems like he's just a character that directors don't want to touch for fear of not being taken seriously. If it were up to you, how would you throw Dick Grayson into a big screen Batman movie (is he from the start, is he saved for the sequel) and how would you make audiences take him seriously?
