I just read that MICHAEL ZULLI has died. When I worked as a BATMAN editor, I had the pleasure of working with Michael on NO MAN'S LAND SECRET FILES. When I told him I loved his issues of TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, a week later I was received a package with all three signed. May he rest in peace.

"DC Comics’ CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS was as much a story about the Golden and Silver ages of their publishing legacy as it was a cosmic-level saga, and EPIPHANY ENGINE follows in that tradition with a twist." - via @comicsbeat.bsky.social www.comicsbeat.com/joe-illidge-...
