Batman: Arkham Asylum is the first DC Compact Comics Clunker with Text that’s Unreadable

Posted on by

Grant Morrison and Dave McKean’s all-time classic Batman story is now available in a portable, 5.5″ x 8.5″ format!

Written by legendary comics creator Grant Morrison and beautifully drawn by artist Dave McKean, Batman: Arkham Asylum stands as one of the most perennially revered Batman comics of all time. Now, this celebrated graphic novel is more accessible than ever before, in a casual reader-friendly Compact Comics Edition!

In 1920, following the death of his disturbed mother, brilliant psychologist Amadeus Arkham began the conversion of his ancestral home into a hospital for the treatment of the mentally ill.

More than half a century later, the Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane is a place of dismal corridors and oppressive shadows–a dark riddle in stone and timber, best left unsolved.

Within its claustrophobic walls, the demented and deformed enemies of the Batman brood in padded cells and unlit cellars, dreaming of a day when they might rise up and overthrow the world of reason.

That day has finally come.

It is April 1st, and the lunatics have taken over the asylum. Led by the Joker, Arkham’s inmates issue a terrible ultimatum to the man responsible for their imprisonment.

The Batman must descend into this heart of darkness, confront his greatest foes, and face the truth of his own divided identity — or condemn himself to share their fate.

Wonder Woman: Blood and Guts feels like those into mythology will really enjoy it

Posted on by

The superstar team of Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang redefined Wonder Woman during the New 52, and now their game-changing run makes its Compact Comics debut, with this epic story now presented in a portable, casual reader friendly 5.5″ x 8.5″ format!

The Gods walk among us and only one woman would dare try to protect humanity from the wrath of such strange and powerful forces. But is she one of us–or one of them?

When Wonder Woman is willing to take a stand against Hera, Queen of the Gods, she makes herself an enemy. But Hera isn’t the one Wonder Woman should be worried about…her daughter, Strife, is coming to Paradise Island…and she has a secret that will shatter Wonder Woman’s life. Will the Amazons’ most powerful daughter be there to shield them from the wrath of Hera when she arrives?

When Hades and Poseidon need to settle who will be King of the Gods–Wonder Woman can’t let their turf war decimate the realm of man!

And what true story of the Gods is complete without a little trip to hell?

DCeased is a nice spin on the zombie genre and perfect to sit back and just enjoy

THE END IS HERE!

Six hundred million people. That’s how many fall victim when a mysterious techno-organic virus is unleased on Earth. Six hundred million infected. Six hundred million turned into mindless, rampaging killers bent on death and destruction.

And that’s just the beginning.

Cities. Nations. Undersea kingdoms and paradise islands. One by one, they fall to the monstrous hordes. Now only Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the rest of the Justice League stand between Earth and utter annihilation…

But for how long?

Nothing they’ve ever faced has prepared them for an onslaught of this magnitude. Nothing they’ve ever seen can match the scale of the tragedy and terror that have been unleased. As heroes and villains, gods and monsters are wiped out, only one question remains: What happens to the World’s Greatest Heroes if the world ends?

The Static: Season One DC Compact Comics edition is a nice introduction to the Milestone Universe

Posted on by

Bullied nerd Virgil Hawkins wasn’t the kind of kid you’d normally find on the streets at a protest—but like everyone else in the city of Dakota, he was fed up. Unfortunately, the first time he stood up to raise his voice, the world turned upside down. The experimental tear gas released that day left some of his classmates maimed or dead…but it left Virgil, and others, with stunning new abilities. Virgil has power inside him now—real power, the ability to channel and manipulate electromagnetic fields.

But there’s anger burning inside him, too.

What is he supposed to do about all of this? And first and foremost—what is he supposed to do about his bullies, now that they’ve got superpowers too?
