A horrific new Bat-family is born in Detective Comics #19 this week. An all-star cast of creators celebrate the 900th issue of Detective Comics with four chilling stories of the Dark Knight and stunning pinup art.
John Layman and Jason Fabok are the mad scientists behind The 900. An outbreak of Man-Bats, a serial killer makes a monstrous evolution and Batman’s alliances are tested in the aftermath of Death of the Family. John Layman and Andy Clarke give us a tale of love, relationships and twisted science starring Kirk Langstrom and the debut of a new threat in the skies over Gotham City.
James Tynion IV and Mikel Janin assemble a War Council in a tale starring Bane that flashes back to the Night of the Owls and teases a showdown coming in the pages of Talon.
John Layman and Henrik Jonsson take the shocking ending from this issue’s first story and twist it into this book’s current storyline showing the downfall of the Penguin and Emperor Penguin’s violent rise to power.
In Through a Blue Lens Layman and Jason Masters rekindle the spirit of Gotham Central in a story of the city’s police officers reflecting on Batman’s adventures in The New 52.
If The New 52 relaunch didn’t happen you would be reading Detective Comics #900 this week! This 80-page milestone issue packs stories that push The New 52 Gotham gallery while capturing the spirit of Batman’s dark history.
