**Iconic Batman artist Jock delivers a bare-knuckle brawl through the
blacked-out streets of Gotham!

All they had to do was get him across town.
It was the sort of mission Batman had run a thousand times. From high
above the sweltering summer streets of Gotham, Batman would escort the
GCPD as the dangerous metahuman super-villain known as E.M.P. was
transferred from a temporary holding cell to his permanent home at
Blackgate Prison in Gotham Harbor. E.M.P.'s electrical powers posed a
dangerous threat, but the situation was well in hand.
Until it wasn't.
Now every light in Gotham is out, the police have been knocked into
disarray, and a broken, bleeding Batman must fight his way to Blackgate,
block by block, dragging E.M.P. behind him. But it's not just the gangs
who want to make life difficult for him. The dark corners of Gotham
contain many surprises...and E.M.P. has many more shocks to deliver
before the night is through!
One of the most iconic Batman artists of the 21st century, the
incomparable Jock (THE BATMAN WHO LAUGHS, BATMAN: THE BLACK MIRROR), has
focused all his storytelling powers on the tale of one very, very dark
night in Gotham City. It's always darkest before the dawn--if it ever
comes...
