Have we featured The Cult here yet? You really can't do Batman's Got a Gun Month without spotlighting Batman: The Cult, a comic that wants to be The Dark Knight Returns so badly that it's actually kinda cute. Who wants to be a big grown-up Frank Miller book? You do! Awwww, you do!
Anyway, if you want an armed Dark Knight, here you go.

And let's face it, The Cult #4 may be titled "Combat," but it pretty much could be just all called "Batman's Got a Gun."

Damn...! I was never a fan of Starlin, but Bernie Wrightson has done some amazing work in his time. This looks terrible.
^ Yeah. I was so disappointed when it came out. I didn't care for the story and the art was not just subpar Wrightson but subpar art period, so I dropped it after the first issue.
