NOTE: As noted in the letters column of #534, some key dialogue was garbled on page 4 of #531, and word balloons were out of sequence in the last panel of page 18. On page 4, Bruce Wayne should have said: "It may be that all the subatomic particles in existence are interconnected, forming a single universal and non-local consciousness of which any one piece contains all the information required to replicate the entire universe, just as any living cell contains all the non-local genetic information necessary to clone an entire new organism." And the correct sequence of page 18's dialogue is: BATMAN: "Put your arms around my neck, Brand - and hold on tight!" DEADMAN: "No way on a first date, pal." BATMAN: "They're coming - and there's no other way across." DEADMAN: "Hey, you ain't the only one who can swing through the air with the greatest of ease..." 36 Pages, Full Color. Cover price $2.50.
