Kevin Smith and Pal on Batman

DC is very proud of the upcoming Batman: Cacophony three-issue series written by filmmaker and raconteur Kevin Smith. (It’s rare enough that he does comics, let alone completing what he starts. Some are still waiting to see if Daredevil/Bullseye: The Target will ever continue, after releasing one issue.) They’d like you to know that there are preview pages available on MySpace. The story features the sound-effect villain, Onomatopoeia, Smith created for his Green Arrow run.
Me, I was interested to learn that it’s drawn by long-time Smith pal Walt Flanagan. That’s a great way to get work from a major comic company! Flanagan has previously drawn two comics for IDW, both written by another View Askew bud, Bryan “Steve-Dave” Johnson: the four-issue Karney (2005) and the three-issue War of the Undead (2007).

Daredevil/Bullseye never wrapped up? I had completely forgotten about it.

Yep, surprising, isn’t it? It’s one of the great vaporware comics.

Did his Spider-Man/Black Cat mini ever finish?

Yes, four years later — it started in 2002 and ended in 2006.
