New Releases by Sean Murphy

HARLEY QUINN AUF MÖRDERJAGD! In Gotham City hat sich vieles verändert, sei der Joker tot ist und Bruce Wayne wegen seines Kreuzzugs als Batman zu einer langjährigen Gefängnisstrafe verurteilt wurde. Aus dem düsteren Moloch ist eine Stadt mit Zukunft geworden, mit weniger Verbrechen und Korruption. Dann aber schlägt ein neuer Serienmörder zu, und der hat es auf alte Filmstars abgesehen. Um den Täter zu fassen und weitere Tote zu verhindern, braucht die Polizei die Hilfe der Psychologin Harleen Quinzel, die einst die Gehilfin des Jokers war, denn niemand kennt sich besser mit irren Killern aus als sie. Und so geht Harley Quinn auf Mörderjagd ... ENTHÄLT: BATMAN: WHITE KNIGHT PRESENTS HARLEY QUINN 1-6, HARLEY QUINN BLACK + WHITE + RED DIGITAL CHAPTER 6 Unter dem Black Label präsentieren Top- Künstler eigenständige Comics für Kenner, Neueinsteiger und Gelegenheitsleser. In diesem Band interpretieren Superstar Sean Murphy (BATMAN: DER WEISSE RITTER), Romanautorin Katana Collins und Ausnahmezeichner Matteo Scalera (Black Science) den Mythos von Harley Quinn auf einzigartige Weise.

Acclaimed author and music critic Sean Murphy''s new poetry collection is a searing and timely take on American culture that finds perspective on the present by interrogating our past. The Blackened Blues offers a powerful glimpse into the human psyche, exploring the minds of artists and visionaries, addicts and trauma survivors, searching (as we all are) for "some way to live." We leave this book with a heavy dose of truth, but also of the kind of beauty that makes such truth bearable.

The Artist Edition is a 48-page softcover collection of the raw scans of the first 44 pages of Sean Murphy''s The Plot Holes. The Plot Holes tells the story of a squad of fictional warriors who transport themselves into the pages of other books, using their unique skills to save the plots in order to stop them from being destroyed.

DER WEISSE RITTER SCHLÄGT ZURÜCK Batmans brutaler Kreuzzug gegen das Böse wird plötzlich eine Gefahr für die Bürger von Gotham City. Angeblich kann nur einer die Stadt vor dem rücksichtlosen Wüten des Dunklen Ritters retten: Jack Napier, besser bekannt als der Joker! Mit Harley Quinn an seiner Seite wird der vom Wahnsinn geheilte Clownprinz des Verbrechens zu Gothams Weißem Ritter... Unter dem Black Label präsentieren Top-Künstler atemberaubende, eigenständige Geschichten – ganz in der Tradition von BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE. Da diese Erzählungen unabhängig von den Ereignissen anderer Storys sind, eignen sie sich besonders gut für Neueinsteiger oder Gelegenheitsleser. In BATMAN: DER WEISSE RITTER stellt der preisgekrönte Autor und Zeichner Sean Murphy (THE WAKE, AMERICAN VAMPIRE) die Batman-Mythologie auf den Kopf.

Gotham City’s crushing curse is uncovered! Everything Batman thought he knew about the Wayne family secret is turned upside down as Azrael and The Joker usher anarchy into Arkham-and after a final word with Jack, Harley faces an impossible choice!

The GTO struggles to forgive Batman for his behavior on the tails of tragedy, but a promising path forward comes into focus when he uncovers a monumental clue about the mystery of Gotham’s ancestral curse. It may prove too little too late, as Azrael breaks free of Ruth’s mandate and unleashes a radical new reign of terror over the city and its competing super-criminals.

The world of Batman: White Knight expands with this standalone tale! On the night of Bruce Wayne’s traumatic birth, Victor Fries must intervene to save the lives of Martha Wayne and the future Batman. As the evening unfolds, Victor distracts Thomas with the incredible tale of his own father figures-one a Nazi, the other a Jew-and their complex connection to Wayne Laboratories. As the Third Reich roars into power, the deep friendship and working relationship between the Baron von Fries and his research partner, Jacob Smithstein, is in crisis. Ordered by Himmler to speed development of their cryotechnology in service of world domination, Smithstein is forced to go into hiding and compromise his moral code in order to save his wife and infant daughter, Nora, from persecution and certain death. When the S.S. ramps up surveillance over the project, young Victor begins to question his father’s true allegiance. Both families are driven toward an impossible choice and a sinister standoff, and Victor makes a pact with Smithstein that will ripple through generations.

After a shocking tragedy strikes the Bat-Family and Montoya takes the reins, Babs defies the GTO and goes rogue in the hunt for Azrael. When her new methods prove almost too effective, Batman intervenes-leaving Harley to her own devices in the wake of her own emergency.

Batman salvages a groundbreaking clue from the wreckage of Wayne Manor and recruits Harley Quinn to confront The Joker for answers about the mystery of Gotham City’s foundations! Their investigation takes a dire turn in the darkest corners of Arkham, and Gordon’s life is in peril after a new commissioner is named.

The Joker’s plan is in full swing—with a single devastating secret and his puppet strings controlling the elites, the Clown Prince and his new recruit, Azrael, are ready to eliminate Batman and obliterate the Wayne family’s legacy. With Gotham City’s identity and institutions hanging in the balance, Gordon makes a surprising public announcement—but The Joker’s response will send the Bat-family and the GTO spiraling.

In this explosive sequel to the critically acclaimed blockbuster BATMAN: WHITE KNIGHT from writer/artist Sean Murphy, The Joker recruits Azrael to help him expose a shocking secret from the Wayne family’s legacy—and to run Gotham City into the ground! As Batman rushes to protect the city and his loved ones from danger, the mystery of his ancestry unravels, dealing a devastating blow to the Dark Knight. Exciting new villains and unexpected allies will clash in this unforgettable chapter of the White Knight saga—and the truth about the blood they shed will shake Gotham to its core!

Just in time for Batman Day 2018 on September 15, DC presents the sold-out first issue of the acclaimed miniseries written and illustrated by Sean Murphy! Set in a world where The Joker is cured of his insanity and homicidal tendencies, The Joker, now known as ÒJack,Ó sets about trying to right his wrongs. First he plans to reconcile with Harley Quinn, and then heÕll try to save the city from the one person who he thinks is truly Gotham CityÕs greatest villain: Batman!

In the extra-sized finale of Sean MurphyÕs top-selling miniseries, Jack NapierÕs suspicious seduction of Gotham City comes to its twisted conclusion! With the city on the verge of becoming an icy tomb for the GTO, Batgirl makes a crucial assist and Gordon is forced to reevaluate his judgment of Batman to secure the greater good. As the true JokerÕs return becomes imminent, Harley seeks vengeance and reckons with the bleak future that looms for her loved ones.

This issue, itÕs Jack versus the Joker! NapierÕs identity crisis spins out of control and compromises his grand plans for Gotham CityÑbut not before he strikes a fateful bargain with Neo Joker. A browbeaten Batman accepts a peace offering from Batgirl, and some unexpected advice from Alfred sets the tone for the GTOÕs new mission to redeem the city.

Gotham City’s strongest alliance comes to an end when Gordon’s trust in Batman reaches its limit. On the verge of resignation, the commissioner attempts a final act of public service, but an unlikely intervention allows the Dark Knight to fight another day. Meanwhile, Jack’s mission takes a hit when his pills lose effect—and under cover of all this chaos, Neo Joker is positioned to take the city hostage.

Jack’s mind and body begin to betray him as he prepares for an inevitable showdown with Batman, and Bruce himself struggles to keep his team united. As the game gets tougher, Batman seeks counsel from a shocking source—and after Wayne Manor is infiltrated, a car chase for the ages aims to curb Napier’s supercriminal crew once and for all.
