Written by Brian Azzarello Art by Phil Noto Sketchbook material and variant cover by Rags Morales Cover by JG Jones Doc Savage returns to DC Comics?and comes face-to-fist with the Batman! Superstar scribe Brian Azzarello (100 BULLETS, JOKER) and the breathtaking art of Phil Noto combine to shine the first light on a shadowy new version of the DC Universe, where the thugs run rampant, corruption runs deep, and even heroes can’t be trusted! Doc Savage, the Man of Bronze, hates what he’s heard about the connections between a grisly murder and Gotham City’s violent new vigilante. But the Batman can’t abide do-gooders getting in his way?and his .45 just won’t stay in its holster!
