DC Comics' March 2020 solicitations will go up later today. But first, as is traditional, we get a chance to Frankenstein those that have already been let out there in one form or another…
ARKHAMANIACS
ArkhaManiacs is Art Baltazar and Franco providing their unique, cartoony take on a certain apartment building (Arkham) in Gotham City and the people (mostly!) who live there. Young Bruce Wayne is drawn to the fun and excitement he sees going on at Arkham, but to Wayne Enterprises, it's just another property they own. Bruce is determined to find out why Arkham is full of so much fun and laughter. What exactly is going on over there? Time to sneak over when no one is looking…even though it's like the house is laughing at him! HA HA HA! On Sale: April 21, 2020 Pages: 168 Age Range: 8-12 years
