Batman: White Knight Goes to Third and Fourth Printings
It has become a true success for DC Comics for the end of 2018, the sales of Sean Murphy's Batman: White Knight, an alternate history comic book in which the Joker gained sanity and Batman went mad, turning the tables of the power dynamic in Gotham – and everyone around them. Or did it?
Which has also meant that there was no resistance for the seven-issue series becoming eight-issue. I understand it's already being fast-tracked for consideration as an animated direct movie from Warners.
But what of the availability of the comic books, which have been topping the charts? Now Batman: White Knight #1 has gone to fourth printing and #2 has gone to third, both available on January 17th. Which is also the date DC Comics will be shipping the 2nd print of #3. While the first prints of #4 and #5 are scheduled for January 3rd and February 7th respectively…
Here's what's coming on January 3rd… and February 7th…
