This month, we welcome Bill Bere of The Bat-Pod to the Reunion! He picked a doozy, as the table is set for 5 stories this month! The Huntress begins her solo strip with a barbeque (of Gotham), Lori dumps Dick, Babs slaps a Senator, and Kirk is wistful for his glory days! Oh yeah, and Batman swims through sewer water, earning Shawn’s respect forever! Come join the fun and have some strawberry shortcake!

This month, we welcome our Bat-Cousin, and another Batman Family letterhack, Martin Maenza, to the Reunion!  The Huntress meets her Uncle Bruce and the rest of the Bat Family!  Man-Bat meets the Demon!  Bat-Cousin Shawn’s apple pie wins an award (4^th place)!  But the big news is that Batman Family is now a DOLLAR COMIC!  We bite off the tasty morsels of stories, as Batman and Robin team up to save Lori, the Bat-Ladies take on Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Madame Zodiac, and we await the arrival of Baby-Bat!

Shawn and Paul are sitting alone at the picnic table this month but hoo-boy! What an issue to discuss! We get Robin, Batgirl, Bat-Girl, Commissioner Gordon, Cold-Shoulder Lori, strange video equipment, father-daughter teasing, a color-blind villain, and plenty of hamburgers – all in the first story!  Man-Bat shares billing (and the reward) with Jason Bard (who also eats a burger) in our second story as they save Francine from the Shotgun Sniper! Shed a tear as Shawn shares a tale of heartbreak over Superman vs. Muhammad Ali!  Come on down to the Wayne Family Gardens and join the fun!

Brave CG!

Getting ready for dinner!

Daddy gets teased!

The print version.

The digital version.  Hmmm.

Yeah let's all resign.

Unnamed villain taken out by cardboard cutouts of Batgirl and Robin!

Wow, just wow.

Taking out the bad guy, with "flair"!

Get ready to be a Daddy, Kirk! (but put your shirt on first)

The stars of Shawn's Broadway show are the villains here.

Earth-2 adventures!
