Just in time for Halloween, DC has announced a brand new Black Label series featuring the Dark Knight. Batman takes a trip into a gory Gotham City horror story in Batman: Full Moon, a four-issue monthly DC Black Label series (ages 17+) slated to debut on Wednesday, October 9.
From Eisner-nominated writer Rodney Barnes (Killadelphia, Marvel’s Star Wars: Ahsoka, Star Wars: The Mandalorian, Luke Cage: Gang War) and artist Stevan Subic (The Riddler: Year One), an ancient and supernatural force stalks the streets of Gotham City—a werewolf so powerful it’ll defy Batman’s most trusted resources: his brilliant mind and extensive gadgetry. But are Batman’s physical strength and resilience alone enough to put the creature down for good, or will this fight strip him down to his very bones? Even powerful magical allies like Zatanna caution the Dark Knight that he may not walk away from this encounter unscathed.
Here’s a first look at several pages from the series’ debut:
Each issue of this horrific tale of pain and redemption will feature a glow-in-the-dark main cover by series artist Subic, with variant covers for the debut issue by Steve Beach, Francesco Francavilla, and Mike Perkins. Batman: Full Moon #1 is available for preorder at participating comic book shops and digital retailers Friday, July 19.
