Villains Month is a feast for fans of evil icons like Joker, Zod and Darkseid. This week Batman and Robin #23.2 Court of Owls stars the malevolent secret society that could inspire fear in the rest of DC’s solo super villains.

 

James Tynion IV and Jorge Lucas craft a visually and tonally dark  stand-alone issue that could be the most terrifying tale of this month of all-star evil.

 

Exquisite Dread is a chilling tale set in the past and present of Gotham City.  3 stories of poor souls who dare to defy the Court of Owls woven through the current day storyline as the Court reacts to a world in chaos after the death of the Justice League.

No word yet on a third Thor film so The Dark World will likely be Loki’s swan song but not if the Loki Army has something to say about it… Continue reading LOKI Solo Movie Petition
