The highly-anticipated DC Comics' new imprint DC BLACK LABEL starts here! In BATMAN: DAMNED, the award-winning creative team of writer Brian Azzarello and artist Lee Bermejo bring you the blood-chilling sequel to their best-selling 2008 blockbuster graphic nove, JOKER! To begin with, Joker is dead. There is no doubt about that. But whether Batman finally broke his scrawny neck or some other sinister force in Gotham City did the deed is still an open question. Problem is, Batman can't remember...and the more he digs into this labyrinthian case, the more his mind starts to doubt everything he's uncovering. So who better to set him straight than...John Constantine? Problem with that is as much as John loves a good mystery, he loves messing with people's heads even more. So no, not the most reliable sidekick Batman ever had...With John's "help," the pair will delve into the underbelly of Gotham, encountering friends and foes alike-Enchantress, Deadman, Zatanna, The Demon and more-as they race toward the mind-blowing truth of who murdered the Clown Prince of Crime. BATMAN: DAMNED is a bimonthly super-natural horror story told by two of comics' greatest modern creators-a visceral thrill-ride that proudly puts the "black" in BLACK LABEL. FINAL COVER MAY VARY. ALLOCATIONS MAY OCCUR.
