VERY FINE/NEAR MINT

(W/A/CA) 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. Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham brings Rafael Grampa's twisted vision of both the Dark Knight and the city of Gotham to life in a DC writing debut that will reach its icy black tendrils into the deepest and darkest corners of human nature and leave you gasping for breath--and for more!

Brazilian creator Grampa manages to invoke some very Dark Knight Returns vibes with this strange mix of alien and familiar. There's even a panel that may as well have "Hi Frank!" on it as a sound effect. It's oddly nothing like DK, but you can just feel it in the bones. I'm not saying that it'll change the landscape of American comics as we know it, I'm just saying that it's some double-plus aces work. Highly recommended for those in the mood for just one more Batman story, anybody that would like to see Otomo and Moebius draw after a telepod incident, and anybody who can still recall that "What did I just read and I'll just have to read it again to be sure" feeling they had after putting down Dark knight for the first time.
