THE JOKER IS DEAD. There is no doubt about that. But whether Batman
finally snapped his scrawny neck or some other sinister force in
Gotham City did the deed is still a mystery. Problem is, Batman can
t remember and the more he digs into this labyrinthine case, the
more he starts to doubt everything he s uncovering. So who better
to set him straight than John Constantine? The problem with that is
as much as John loves a good mystery, he loves messing with people
s heads even more. So with John s help, the pair will delve into
the sordid underbelly of Gotham as they race toward the
mind-blowing truth of who murdered The Joker. Batman: Damned is a
groundbreaking supernatural horror story told by two of comics
greatest modern creators: Brian Azzarello (Dark Knight III: The
Master Race, 100 Bullets) and Lee Bermejo (Hellblazer, Joker).

menaces of today, while exploring what it means to be the hero that
he is. Members of Batman s supporting cast enact roles analogous to
those from A Christmas Carol, with Robin, Catwoman, Superman, The
Joker and more playing roles that will be familiar to anyone who
knows Dickens original holiday tale.

The controversial, long-awaited prequels to the best-selling
graphic novel of all-time are finally here: BEFORE WATCHMEN For
over twenty years, the back stories of the now iconic characters
from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon's landmark graphic novel have
remained a mystery, until now. DC Comics has assembled the greatest
creators in the industry to further paint the world of WATCHMEN,
with this second volume starring two of the most polarizing
anti-heroes ever, COMEDIAN and RORSCHACH.
Eisner Award-winning writer and creator of 100 Bullets Brian
Azzarello brings his gritty, nuanced storytelling to these two
recognizable characters. In RORSCHACH, Azzarello again teams with
superstar artist Lee Bermejo (JOKER, LUTHOR, BATMAN/DEATHBLOW) to
illustrate how one of most dangerous vigilantes the comic world has
ever seen became even darker. COMEDIAN, featuring art by J.G. Jones
(FINAL CRISIS, Wanted), plants the famed war hero within the
context of American history, as we find out how the Vietnam War and
the Kennedy assassination revolve around him.
Collects BEFORE WATCHMEN: COMEDIAN 1-6 and BEFORE WATCHMEN:
RORSCHACH 1-4.
