BATMAN/GRENDEL pits the relentless determination of the Dark Knight Detective against the diabolic methodology of Hunter Rose, the first incarnation of Matt Wagner's now-classic creation, Grendel. While Bruce Wayne and Hunter Rose play power games in Gotham's high society, Batman finds himself up against a new and vicious foe of uncanny intellect and evil intent, one more than capable of testing the Dark Knight's formidable skills to their limits. Written and illustrated by Grendel creator Matt Wagner. Painted cover by Wagner. Prestige Format. Co-published by DC and Comico, the Comic Company. Cover price $4.95.

To some people, guns are a scourge; to others, a Constitutional right; for still others, they are merely a means to achieving an end. But at every level of society, children find guns, usually by chance...and often at the cost of their own lives. In BATMAN: SEDUCTION OF THE GUN, Batman and Robin confront the issue of gun control head on, in an action-packed and thought-provoking tale of gun-running, gang violence and the insidious lure of firearms. Inspired by today's headlines, this special takes a hard look at the way guns are perceived and used, with particular emphasis on their accessibility to juveniles. It is an extensively researched look into the subject with a strong emphasis on a story that avoids advocating any particular political view. Written by John Ostrander, with art by Vince Giarrano. Painted cover by Dave Dorman. 68 pages. Cover price $2.50.
