The Joker has gone missing from Arkham Asylum, but not even Batman can comprehend the grisly evidence the notorious madman left behind. Something strange and terrible is happening in Gotham City, and it all seems to revolve around a new villain known as Dollmaker.
The relaunch of DC’s flagship title for the first time ever, DETECTIVE COMICS, VOL. 1: FACES OF DEATH comes to you from acclaimed writer and artist Tony S. Daniel. In addition to compiling issues #1-7, this hardcover collection also includes an exciting array of bonus features in the back of the book. Keep checking back to THE SOURCE every day this week for a sneak peek at some of these supplemental materials, including some of Daniel’s sketches and layouts.
DETECTIVE COMICS, VOL. 1: FACES OF DEATH is available in bookstores everywhere now.
My humble opinion: The story promised to be a good Joker story until he dissapears after issue 1, leaving his face in Arkham Asylum…literally. What happened to him is a big mistery. Maybe great plans are in the boiler for the Clown Prince of Crime in future issues of Batman and Detective comics, but for now I will settle for the extra perks of seeing more of Tony Daniel’s art and sketches…
