Heavy stock Variant Cover by Francesco Mattina. Fear State Tie-In - The Jokers attack on Arkham Asylum left the long-standing Gotham establishment in ruin, most of the patients killed or missing, and only a handful of surviving staff—a few nurses, a gravely injured security guard, and one doctor. In the chaos of the assault, it is believed that several of the asylums patients escaped and scurried off into the dark nooks and crannies of Gotham City. Now, these Arkhamites walk among us, and its up to the Asylums one remaining doctor, Jocasta Joy, to round up her former patients. Meet these Arkhamites: a woman with no face, a pyggy in search of perfection, a man who feels nothing and burns everything, a woman who must devour life to save herself, a man unfit for the waking world who looks instead for Wonderland, a body with more than one soul, a being unbound from time who lives in the present and the past, a boy who seeks the comfort of vermin, and the twisted man who sees them all for who they are. And witness the avenging angel who stalks them. This fall, join writer Dan Watters and artist Dani on an odyssey through the deepest depths and darkest shadows of Gotham City and find all-new reasons to fear the night. 32 pages, full color.

Overcharges will be refunded after I create the label and know the final amount for shipping. - Don’t like a price? Then make an offer. Plz don’t insult me with it though. - All my comics are well taken care of. I routinely place my books immediately in bag (or mylite) and board, even if I plan to read them. - All comics and figures are stored in Smoke and vape-free home, with no exposure to sun, and humidity/temperature extremes - Items are stored in a controlled finished lower level. In some cases, books are not even read and placed straight into safe storage. —Overpayments on shipping are refunded after i print label. I try to keep shipping prices low but comics are heavy so plz understand. I’m open to your preference though—save $ and risk bumpier ride or pay a little more for Priority. I default to Ground Transport. I’ve learned a lot from earlier mistakes and have not received neg feedback in over a year; even the ones I did get as a beginner seller were defensible and in all cases customer received full refund PLUS the items that were shipped…there is a “garage sale” culture element on eBay I’ve noticed, where Some people don’t want to pay anywhere near the value of items and are impossible to please. I won’t go further than to say I’m a better seller than my rating and have had 100% positive feedback for the last year +.
