Rodney Barnes makes his DC debut with Batman: Full Moon

DC Comics has revealed a new werewolf/Batman story right in time for Halloween called Batman: Full Moon. The DC Black Label book is Rodney Barnes’ first foray at DC Comics, with the stellar Stevan Subic on art. The four-issue monthly series launches on October 9th with preorders open starting July 19th.

So what’s Batman: Full Moon about?

An ancient and supernatural force stalks the streets of Gotham City—a werewolf so powerful it’ll defy Batman’s most trusted resources: his brilliant mind and extensive gadgetry. But are Batman’s physical strength and resilience alone enough to put the creature down for good, or will this fight strip him down to his very bones? Even powerful magical allies like Zatanna caution the Dark Knight that he may not walk away from this encounter unscathed.

Each issue of this horrific tale of pain and redemption will feature a glow-in-the-dark main cover by series artist Subic, with variant covers for the debut issue by Steve Beach, Francesco Francavilla, and Mike Perkins.
