THE BEST BOOK CLUB IN THE MULTIVERSE!

The Book Club Bois discuss one of the darkest chapters of Bruce Wayne’s life in the latest installment of Tom King’s BATMAN REBIRTH!

THE BEST BOOK CLUB IN THE MULTIVERSE!

The Book Club Bois dive into the hidden history of Cassandra Cain in the latest chapter of James Tynion’s DETECTIVE COMICS REBIRTH!

The League of Shadows. A whisper in the dark amongst the most powerful individuals around the world. A rumor of the secret organization that birthed the League of Assassins, yet outclasses Ra’s al Ghul’s creation in every way. There has been no proof that this legend even exists… until now. The terrifying force Jacob Kane warned of has arrived in Gotham with one goal – wipe the city and its inhabitants off the map. The Gotham Knights must assemble once more to combat this dark army and save their home… but to do so they may need the help of the Demon’s Head himself!

MALCOLM IS IN A BOOK! Friend of the show Nacho Teso is releasing an english translation of his self-published essay MILES MORALES: ACROSS THE SPIDER-MYTH. This self-published essay centers on the character of Miles Morales and explores not only his history within the panels, but also his impact on the Spider-Man legend, as well as how these themes are addressed in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Malcolm provided the afterword for this new edition of the book, and it is SENSATIONAL! Check it out wherever books are sold!
