DC Black Label fans have an exciting new addition to add to their library this June as Garth Ennis and Liam Sharp are teaming up for Batman: Reptilian. DC Comics announced the new six-issue series today, which is about a new predator that makes Gotham City its hunting ground. Cully Hamner (Batman and The Signal) will provide the variant cover, and Bill Sienkiewicz (The Question: The Deaths of Vic Sage, Hardware) will provide a 1 in 25 “ratio’ variant.
Each 32-page issue sells for $4.99 and arrives in comic book stores and at participating digital retailers on Tuesday, June 22, 2021.
What’s it about?
Gotham City is filled with murderous creatures who stalk the shadows–foul villains with murderous impulses who strike fear into the hearts of every man, woman, and child in the city. But what strikes fear into the hearts of those who terrorize the city? It used to be Batman, but something far more frightening than a mere man has begun stalking the shadows—and it’s after Gotham’s villains. How savage must a monster be to haunt the dreams of monsters?
Check out an unlettered preview featuring Sharp’s gorgeous art below.
