Robot 6
A first look at Cameron Stewart’s work on Batman and Robin
From "Batman and Robin" #7
Cameron Stewart offers a glimpse at a page from December’s Batman and Robin #7, which kicks off his three-issue reunion with Grant Morrison. (The two previously worked together on Seven Soldiers: Manhattan Guardian, Seaguy and Seaguy: Slaves of Mickey Eye.)
“I need you to go in to your local comic shop and talk to the people who work there, and tell them that you’re really looking forward to this,” Stewart writes on his blog, “and if you really want to be bold, suggest that they should probably order a few extra copies to be safe. Tell them that it ties in with the big Blackest Night crossover (it does*) and that sales could conceivably be higher. I feel like, as a guy who hasn’t done a whole lot of big mainstream superhero work, I’m the dark horse in this race and I need all the help that I can get, and it would be great if advance word-of-mouth could help make a little jump in sales.”
Visit Stewart’s blog to see the entire page. Also, check out his interview with Comic Book Resources.

Looking forward to his arc. I think his art is a perfect fit for the vibe we get from B&R.

Exactly. Unlike Philip Tan’s.

I wish they’d do this more often. When replacing an artist who is pretty much Morrison’s most celebrated collaborator, you should try to get someone who’s at least in the top five Morrison collaborators. That Stewart is coming on board for a run is excellent news.
