Jock's Cover to DETECTIVE COMICS #872 is a Gas!

I love Jock's work on SCALPED and GREEN ARROW YEAR ONE so I was very excited when DC announced that he would become the new artist on DETECTIVE COMICS.

AMERICAN VAMPIRE writer Scott Snyder and THE LOSERS artist Jock are going to turn this title into a Batman noir book.   A gritty, dynamic and edgy visual representation," is how the new DETECTIVE COMICS creative team is describing their take on Batman.

The cover above is the second installment of “The Black Mirror” arc, in which “a series of brutal murders pushes Batman’s detective skills to the limit and forces him to confront one of Gotham City’s oldest evils.” DETECTIVE COMICS #872 is due in stores in December.

Batman Noir Arc Coming to Detective Comics

Batman noir?  That's what the new team responsible for DC's flagship title DETECTIVE COMICS are telling us.  "A gritty, dynamic and edgy visual representation," is how the new DETECTIVE COMICS creative team is describing their take on Batman.  The new team consists of AMERICAN VAMPIRE writer Scott Snyder and THE LOSERS artist Jock.

As a Batman fan , I am extremely excited to begin reading Snyder and Jock's run on this book.  It has been too long since we have had a Batman title that is more harden detective than campy superhero. Batman back to his roots.  Now, that's refreshing.
