Panel Chewing Pick of the Week: Indie Chaos, Batman’s Final Stretch & A New Manga Journey

This week on Panel Chewing, we break down the best (and worst) comics we read, crown our Pick of the Week, and continue our discussion of Batman by Grant Morrison before starting Lone Wolf and Cub.


Another week, another stack of comics, and this one had a little bit of everything.

From sharp indie storytelling to chaotic satire and a divisive stretch of Batman, this episode of Panel Chewing: Pick of the Week covers a wide range of books, with a few surprises along the way. Whether you’re hunting for your next read or just want to hear what’s worth your time, we’ve got you covered.


📚 What We Read This Week

This week’s pull list brought a mix of indie standouts, new #1s, and ongoing series hitting very different notes.

Some highlights include:

  • American Caper #6 – A consistently entertaining satire with strong character work and laugh-out-loud moments
  • Fury of the Firestorm #1 – A darker, more complex take on a classic hero
  • Corpse Knight #1 – A medieval revenge setup with some intriguing ideas
  • The Hab #1 – A twisted post-apocalyptic bunker story filled with tension and strong character dynamics
  • Florida Hippopotamus Cocaine Massacre #3 – Over-the-top, chaotic, and relentless… maybe too relentless

We also wrapped up Knight City, continued with Spawn: The Dark Ages, and caught up on Hyde Street, which continues to impress with its character-driven storytelling and top tier artwork.

As always, not everything hits, but that’s part of the fun.
