Tom King is allergic to solicitations. There's never a listing for Batman that he can't twist, turn, betray, change, or completely ignore when it comes to the actual comic book.

So when he posted news that Jorge Fornés was to be drawing an upcoming issue of Batman, little did we know he actually meant the following issue of Batman.

(W) Tom King (A/CA) Mikel Janin

The feathered felon turns to his old foe to snitch on Bane's scheme, but has to prove his intentions to avoid a Bat-beatdown. Along the way, this Gotham odd couple begins to bond-could there be a new bird joining the Bat-Family? Not if Bane has anything to say about it…In Shops: Dec 05, 2018
SRP: $3.99
