Panel Chewing #126: Pick of the Week, Comic Hits & Misses + Grant Morrison Batman Deep Dive

This week on Panel Chewing, we’re back in the saddle with a stacked lineup of comics, breaking down the best reads, biggest disappointments, and everything in between.

From indie standouts to superhero staples, we dig into what worked, what didn’t, and what’s worth adding to your pull list.

💥 This Week’s Highlights:

• American Caper #5 – Still wild, still fun… but not its strongest issue 
• Dead Teenagers #1 – A 90s-inspired time loop horror with potential 
• Deathstroke #1 – A decent entry point, but does it deliver? 
• Battle Beast #7 – A welcome breather from nonstop chaos 
•  A couple of books we’re officially dropping this week 👀 

🔥 Pick of the Week:

• Knight City #2 – A fresh take on superhero burnout and the cost of always being “on” 

📚 Group Read (Join Us!):
We continue our read-through of Batman and Son by Grant Morrison, diving into:

• The Clown at Midnight (a bold prose-style issue) 
• The Three Ghosts of Batman
