Description

🦇 One issue before history — Detective Comics #999, the penultimate chapter before the most celebrated milestone in American comics history, written by Peter J. Tomasi with art by Doug Mahnke as Batman prepares to face #1000. Detective Comics is the oldest continuously published superhero comic in American history — first published in 1937, introducing Batman in issue #27 (1939), and running without interruption through nearly a century of American culture. Every issue in the final approach to #1000 carries special weight, but #999 carries a particular resonance: it’s the last regular issue before the landmark, the final breath before the historic exhale. Written by Peter J. Tomasi — whose Detective Comics and Batman and Robin runs are among the most critically respected Batman works of the 2010s — issue #999 features Batman confronting the event that made him who he is: the night his parents were murdered in Crime Alley, the wound that never healed. Mahnke’s art is powerful and expressive, the shadows and anatomy perfectly calibrated to Gotham’s mythology. Detective Comics #1000 arrived March 27, 2019 with 96 pages, stories by Geoff Johns, Kevin Smith, Tom King, Scott Snyder, and a who’s-who of Batman creative history. Issue #999 is the doorstep. 🦇 Detective Comics #999 is the penultimate chapter of the longest story in superhero history.

This is Detective Comics #999 — Peter J. Tomasi and Doug Mahnke, prelude to the historic #1000 (DC Comics, February 2019).
