IGN Comics continue their coverage of this years most anticipated Batman event BFTC. This time talking with writer Kevin VanHook on his tie series Oracle: The Cure.

IGN Comics: Getting back to the plot of the series a bit, what kind of an impact will Batman's disappearance have on Oracle? They've had a rocky relationship in recent years, so how does she react to Batman's absence as your series begins?

VanHook: She has set up a wall around herself in a lot of ways. When we find her on the first few pages of Oracle #1, people in her life are trying to reach her. People like Black Canary and Nightwing and so forth. Because of what's going on, they're specifically concerned with why she's back in Gotham. Her father is looking for her. We get across the idea that she's gone inside a little bit, and she's really not there. She's starting to live much more in the hacker world. It's like trying to have a conversation with somebody who's just not really paying attention. She's got her own stuff going on in her head. We see it when we're outside in Gotham and we see the smoke and fires in the distance and hear comments that let the reader know the city is in turmoil.

Also artist Guillem March has done an amazing set of covers for this series, see the cover break down he recently posted on his blog:
