Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham #1
(W/A) Rafael Grampa
EISNER AWARD-WINNING STORYTELLER RAFAEL GRAMPA’S TWISTED VISION OF THE DARK KNIGHT! When you chase your own shadow…it leads you into the abyss. In a Gotham City where every day feels darker and more irredeemable than the last, Batman makes a definitive choice–to kill off the Bruce Wayne identity for good and embrace the cowl full-time. But though he knows the streets of Gotham, Batman will soon come to find that he hardly knows himself. A serial killer is on the loose, and while the murder victims seem random at first, every clue draws Batman closer to the terrifying truth–that they are all connected, not just to each other…but to him... When an all-new rogues gallery of utterly depraved villains begins to emerge from the depths of the city, Batman will have to contend with the very nature of evil–including that which lurks inside in the darkest corners of his own heart–to face what’s coming for his city.
