I’ve always been a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes. I love stories set in Victorian London, and I love detective stories – combine the two and you’ve got the ultimate in fiction for me … of course, I think my love of them may have actually come from reading Sherlock stories growing up. With the […]

Patrick Gleason also wrote one of my favorite post-Final Crisis Batman moments, with Alfred saying goodbye to Bruce Wayne in the Batman and the Outsiders Special. It was an emotional […]
