Arkham Asylum has been destroyed--unleashing Ten-Eyed Man, Professor
Pyg, Mad Hatter, and more onto the streets of Gotham. Can the Asylum's
last remaining doctor retrieve her patients?
The Joker's attack on Arkham Asylum left the long-standing Gotham
establishment in ruin, most of the patients killed or missing, and only
a handful of surviving staff--a few nurses, a gravely injured security
guard, and one doctor. In the chaos of the assault, it is believed that
several of the asylum's patients escaped and scurried off into the dark
nooks and crannies of Gotham City. Now, these Arkhamites walk among us,
and it's up to the Asylum's one remaining doctor, Jocasta Joy, to round
up her former patients.
Meet these Arkhamites: a woman with no face, a pyggy in search of
perfection, a man who feels nothing and burns everything, a woman who
must devour life to save herself, a man unfit for the waking world who
looks instead for Wonderland, a body with more than one soul, a being
unbound from time who lives in the present and the past, a boy who seeks
the comfort of vermin, and the twisted man who sees them all for who
they are. And witness the avenging angel who stalks them.
This volume collects Arkham City: The Order of the World #1-6, the
complete story by Dan Watters and Dani.
