Batman Detective Comics: volume 6 – 9

Batman Detective Comics 6: Icarus

When his newest business associate is murdered on the doorstep of Wayne Manor, Bruce Wayne finds himself at the center of the GCPD’s investigation. Batman’s own detective work uncovers a much more devious plot: a city-wide conspiracy involving corrupt politicians, rival gangs and a deadly designer drug known as Icarus flooding Gotham’s streets.

But a personal stake has Detective Harvey Bullock coming hard after the man he believes to be behind the dangerous drug ring—can the Dark Knight uncover the truth before his alter ego ends up in handcuffs?

The critically acclaimed creative team behind THE FLASH, Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato, reach a stunning new height of comics collaboration in DETECTIVE COMICS: ICARUS—a bright new chapter for the Dark Knight!

Collects issues #30-34 and Annual #3.

Batman Detective Comics 7: Anarky

A plane has crash-landed at Gotham International Airport, but the passengers and crew inside appear to have been dead for years, their corpses seemingly decayed. Whatever caused their demise is now loose in the terminal; if Batman can’t figure out who’s behind this biological attack, the body count will climb even higher.

And after the airport is saved, a killer calling himself Anarky wipes the identity of every resident in Gotham clean, giving them a chance to remake themselves into whatever image they see fit. Though this new masked menace appears to be launching a revolution against the city authorities, he hides a more personal motive. The Dark Knight and Detective Harvey Bullock have the pieces-Anarky, Mad Hatter, a human trafficker and six dead children-but there’s little time to connect them all before their city is consumed by total chaos!

Collects issues DETECTIVE COMICS #35-40, DETECTIVE COMICS: ENDGAME #1 and DETECTIVE COMICS: FUTURES END #1.

The creative team of Peter J. Tomasi and Fernando Pasarin are joined by a gallery of the greatest artists in comics for BATMAN: DETECTIVE COMICS VOL. 9: GORDON AT WAR, a milestone chapter in the legend of the new Dark Knight, spinning off of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s BATMAN series!

Jim Gordon never imagined he’d step into the shoes of his sometimes ally, sometimes enemy and take on the role of the Batman. But now that he’s the man behind the mask, he’s discovering that the risks are more deadly than he ever believed—and the rewards greater than he could have dreamed.

Freed from the rules and regulations of the GCPD, Gordon has the power to crack his coldest cases, help his oldest friends and take the battle straight to the enemy. But history has a way of catching up, and even though he’s inhabiting a new role in the war on crime, the ghosts of the past have come calling.

Martyrs and madmen, Marines and magic, murder and mayhem—if Gordon wants to be Gotham’s guardian, he must face them all…
