COSA NASCONDE IL VENTRE DI GOTHAM? Non c’è pace per il Cavaliere Oscuro. La famiglia Orgham, una dinastia di origini antichissime, è tornata a Gotham con l’obiettivo di conquistarla e sta mettendo in atto un piano che prevede l’annientamento di Batman. Per fortuna, Bruce Wayne può ancora contare sull’aiuto di alleati come Nightwing, Oracle e Batgirl, ma le indagini da condurre nelle zone più nascoste della sua città rischiano di sgretolare la sua sanità mentale. Che ruolo hanno in tutto questo i demoni noti come Azmer… e Barbatos? L’incredibile fumettista Ram V (The New Gods), insieme a Ivan Reis (Aquaman), Danny Miki, Dan Watters, Dustin Nguyen e ai disegnatori italiani Stefano Raffaele e Francesco Francavilla, continua a raccontarci una storia tetra e suggestiva che mescola alla perfezione il passato e il presente di Gotham City.
