Dear Batman Fans,
It's only the fourth time in the history of comics we get a proper Batman #1, and it's been more than a decade since the last one (hello, Tom King!), so this is kind of big news:
Batman #1 is on sale (and #2 is on FOC)
For once, we actually managed to offer a big book on its official release day... and yep, it basically flies out of the many storage boxes.
And rightly so. Batman #1 delivers. Matt Fraction nails the tone and character work, Jorge Jimenez and Tomeu Morey are operating at “best in the biz??” level, and while issue #1 is strong, the story really kicks into gear with #2. Honestly, we haven’t seen this kind of creative energy on DC’s trinity (and their Absolute counterparts) in a long time. We're STOKED for DC right now!
Check the early reviews:
League of Comic Geeks
ComicBookRoundup
And no, this is not my classic FOMO push, we’ve stocked plenty of the regular cover and plan to keep it around for a very long time.
The variants though? No promises (sry, can't help myself!)
More importantly:
If you want to subscribe to the series from issue #2 onward, just hit the little black button on the product page before Saturday, 4PM.
And done. You're in.
But wait! If you’ve never subscribed or pre-ordered singles with us before, take a few minutes to... get initiated.
Is it harder than deciphering the Necronomicon? Only slightly. And the video tutorial helps. Please have a look here for a comprehensive overview.
More FOC goodness?
Yes, courtesy of Matheus and coming tomorrow. Stay tuned!
Cheers,
Walt
