Doc Savage returns to DC Comics this week and comes face-to-fist with The Batman in the Batman/Doc Savage Special. Brian Azzarello (100 Bullets; Joker Hardcover) and artist Phil Noto shine the first light on a shadowy new version of the DCU, where thugs run rampant, corruption runs deep, and heroes can’t be trusted.

Similar to the recent Batman/Spirit One-shot, this new book serves as a prologue to an upcoming 6-issue miniseries by Azzarello and Rags Morales (Identity Crisis), revealing the full width and breadth of DC’s new pulp-influenced universe.

Also featured is sketchbook material by Morales that will show you just what you’re in for early next year.
