John Ridley returns to the world of Batman joined by Olivier Coipel for Batman: Reign of Assassins
This February, acclaimed writer John Ridley and artist Olivier Coipel reunite for Batman: Reign of Assassins, a five-issue DC series bringing both Batmen—Jace Fox and Bruce Wayne—together for the first time.
When mysterious forces from Jace’s past converge on his present, Jace turns to Katana and Gotham City’s Caped Crusader for help. The mission sends two very different Batmen on a globe-spanning adventure that will require them to find common ground against a dangerous new threat.
Batman: Reign of Assassins continues the adventures of Jace Fox, who assumed the mantle of Batman and established himself as New York City’s Dark Knight in I Am Batman. Ridley and Coipel previously collaborated on I Am Batman #1 and now reunite for the next chapter in Jace Fox’s story, bringing Jace together with Bruce Wayne’s Batman for Reign of Assassins.
Batman: Reign of Assassins is written by John Ridley, with art by Olivier Coipel, colors by Mat Lopes, and letters by AndWorld Design. Batman: Reign of Assassins #1 features a main cover by Coipel and Lopes and variant covers by Dan Mora, Kyuyong Eom, and Travis Charest, along with a foil variant cover by Coipel and Lopes. The 32-page debut issue of the five-issue limited series will be available at participating comic book shops and digital retailers on February 17, 2027, for $4.99. Card-stock variant covers will be available for $5.99, with the foil variant available for $7.99. Visit your local comics shop to preorder Batman: Reign of Assassins.
