Moonstone Triple Threat, June 2022B

I almost didn't scroll down far enough!

First Comics News shared Moonstone's June solicitations last week. They include one of the publisher's Triple Threat books, an ongoing series of three-story anthologies. Each book seems to run between 70 and 100 or so pages in length for the three stories combined.

Moonstone rarely has many books solicited in any given month. When I saw a Triple Threat issue that did not include the Black Bat, I figured it was another dry month for our favourite characters and was prepared to move on.

That book was labelled "Jun '22A", however, which strongly implies a "B". Clearly, reading all these detective stories has made me mentally razor sharp. Sure enough, there are two issues of the Triple Threat title scheduled for June and the second includes our boy, as seen below. 

Three pulp-action-adventure thrillers! The Lone Ranger stars in “Bad Company”, The Black Bat in “The World is Sick”, and Domino Lady and Judgement star in “Served Cold”!

David Boop has some experience with the character. He co-wrote (with Josh Vogt) one story for Moonstone's The Black Bat Returns anthology called Light And Dark in Symphony teaming the Bat with Domino Lady, and wrote another called The Blind Leading The Brave.

The cover is by John K. Snyder. This particular issue is said to be 70 pages long for $6.49. Even assuming he gets a full third of that page count (which I doubt based on cover prominence), that's not a lot of room for Mr. Boop to work with, but I'm still eager to see what he has in store for us.
