   Stuart Fails To Save The Universe and Crowbound #1 | Fantastic Forum

   The world has ended, a mother is searching for her daughter, and somewhere in the middle of all that chaos, a comic book store owner has accidentally broken the universe. This week on Fantastic Forum, we're talking about Image Comics' Crowbound and the new HBO Max series Stuart Fails to Save the Universe. First up is Crowbound, the new ongoing series from Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen. Rose lives in the shadow of the Factory, a massive structure that has divided what remains of the world. When her young daughter Ava is taken, Rose is offered one last chance to save her, but the price is her soul. Part post-apocalyptic neo-Western, part southern gothic, and part dark fantasy, Crowbound is a bleak and mysterious world filled with strange creatures, dangerous choices, and plenty of questions about just how far a parent will go to save their child. Then we're breaking reality with Stuart Fails to Save the Universe. Kevin Sussman returns as Stuart Bloom, the comic book store owner from The Big Bang Theory, who finds himself responsible for an honest-to-goodness multiverse crisis after accidentally damaging a device created by Sheldon and Leonard. Now Stuart, Denise, Bert, and Barry Kripke have to put reality back together before everything falls apart. Because apparently running a comic book store wasn't stressful enough. Dark fantasy and multiverse chaos make for a pretty strange combination, but that's exactly what we've got this week. We're talking Crowbound and Stuart Fails to Save the Universe. Let's get weird.

   Batman Bad Seed Event | Fantastic Forum

   Gotham is going green, and not in a particularly healthy way. Batman: Bad Seeds has arrived, and Poison Ivy's latest attempt to reshape Gotham has turned the entire city into a prehistoric nightmare. This week on Fantastic Forum, we're diving into DC's massive new Batman event and asking what happens when Gotham itself becomes the enemy. Written by Matt Fraction and G. Willow Wilson, Batman: Bad Seeds brings together Batman, Poison Ivy, the Bat-Family, and just about every corner of Gotham for one very long, very bad night. As Ivy's plan takes hold, prehistoric plant life begins swallowing the city while Commissioner Vandal Savage wages war on the Bat-Family and Gotham's heroes find themselves hunted and in hiding. We're talking Batman: Bad Seeds and digging into the latest chaos to hit the Dark Knight's corner of the DC Universe.

   Batman: Knightfall Part 1, Doom Patrol #1, Batman/Superman/Weird Al: World's Weirdest #1 | Fantastic Forum

   Batman is breaking, the Doom Patrol is broke, and Weird Al is apparently the only person who can save the universe from becoming boring. This week on Fantastic Forum, we're talking Batman: Knightfall Part 1: Knightfall, The Doom Patrol #1, and Batman/Superman/Weird Al: World's Weirdest #1. First up, we're taking a look at Batman: Knightfall Part 1: Knightfall, the new animated adaptation of the classic DC storyline. With Arkham Asylum destroyed, Gotham's villains running loose, and Bane waiting in the wings, Batman is pushed to his physical and mental limits. Based on one of the most consequential Batman stories of the '90s, this is the beginning of a trilogy bringing Knightfall, Knightquest, and Knightsend to the screen. Then it's time for the world's strangest heroes. The Doom Patrol #1, written by Darcy Van Poelgeest with art by Niko Henrichon, finds the team in financial and emotional trouble, forcing them to take on a heroes-for-hire gig. Unfortunately, what looks like a simple missing-cat case turns into something much, much stranger. Because apparently even the Doom Patrol can't just have a normal Tuesday. And finally, Batman and Superman are teaming up with Weird Al Yankovic in World's Weirdest #1, written by Mark Waid with art by Dan Schoening and Fico Ossio. When an affliction makes everything in the fifth dimension, and eventually Earth, dull and ordinary, the World's Finest need help from the one man uniquely qualified to fight the forces of blandness. It's Batman, Superman, and Weird Al. Honestly, what more explanation do we need? Three very different kinds of weird, one very busy episode. Let's get into it.
