OFF THE PANEL #12 - Gotham By Gaslight: A Tale Of The Batman

 
In the series' twelfth installment, the Skirt (Merce Mueller) chooses the second foray into Gotham City and enlists the aid of an all-around Bat-slave in the form of the Sloth (Alex Koch), while the Sphinx (Wiegeabo Kilijabob) makes his OTP debut by joining them after savagely murdering women in the streets. That's right, on this episode, we're discussing the one of the quintessential entries in DC's Elseworlds line, and infact the very first book to be given the name - so put on your Victorian hat, hope inside your stagecoach, and witness the familiar origin story of The Dark Knight Detective told anew as he's pitted against legendary serial killer Jack The Ripper in the 1989 one-shot, Gotham By Gaslight: A Tale Of The Batman.

OFF THE PANEL #9 - Moon Knight: The Bottom


In the ninth installment of the series, the Sloth (Alex Koch) enlists a brand new voice into the myriad of Off Panel alumni - The Australian, better known as #1 Moon Knight fan Matt Fuss - in order to help dissect the many personalities of Marvel Comics' premiere schizophrenic vigilante. As much of a character study as a review of an acclaimed graphic novel, the two dive into the surprisingly layered world of the one character in comics who can be three or four people at once and yet still be called a Batman ripoff by almost everyone. Considered to be the big breakout story under the Moon Knight label since his creation in the 80's, listen to the only two fans on the planet of this character delve deep into Moon Knight: The Bottom.
