At the ComicsPRO meeting held in Texas this week, DC Comics announced that Lee Bermejo will both write and draw a new Batman graphic novel, titled Batman: Noel.
Bermejo's best Batman work to date is the 2008 graphic novel, Joker, with Brian Azzarello. His new undertaking marks the first time that the artist is also taking the writing reins of a project.
Per DC's The Source blog:
As you might have guessed from the title, BATMAN: NOEL will be a holiday tale… with a twist.
Here are a few words about the project from BATMAN: NOEL editor, DC’s VP of Art Direction & Design, Mark Chiarello:
“I’m TOTALLY excited by this project, and not only because Lee Bermejo is such an astounding artist. Sure, the work he’s done in the past (“JOKER” ogn, “WEDNESDAY COMICS”) has been pretty brilliant and I’d expect nothing less from Lee, but the added bonus of BATMAN: NOEL being drawn AND written by Lee is extra cool. In other words, I knew Lee could deliver the goods artistically, but I never knew he was also this great of a writer!”
