More About The Product
"The Wake is as close to an ideal comic book as I've come across. The text and visuals come together in an unsettling sort of harmony, while the tightly paced plot is guaranteed to pull you under."--"IGN" Praise for Scott Snyder's BATMAN VOL. 1: THE COURT OF OWLS: "A+. The hero's got personality (and is unafraid to release a quip as sharp as a Batarang), a horde of supervillains, gumption to spare and a whole host of high-tech gadgetry to suitably impress longtime fans and those new to the Dark Knight."--"USA TODAY"Praise for Sean Murphy's PUNK ROCK JESUS: "Amazing. The series has been incredible right from the beginning and it ends in a spectacular fashion. It's brilliant and heartbreaking, epic and emotional.... This is book that makes you think.... Don't miss one of the best series of 2012.""--IGN" "From the Hardcover edition."
