One minute, you're cruising through life, the superhero with the best butt in the DC Universe. Then you're shot in the head by KGBeast, and sure, your butt is still great, but now you want people to call you Ric and Scott Lobdell is writing your solo series. It happened to Nightwing. Will it happen to Alfred next?

First Nightwing, Now Alfred Attacked in Detective Comics in January

Revealed in DC's January solicits, Alfred Pennyworth is attacked by another mysterious villain in Detective Comics #995. Not Alfred! Who is hunting down Batman's allies this time? And what will we call Alfred when he recovers?

We'll find out in a triple-shot of Detective Comics in January.

The monstrous shadow creature plaguing Gotham City gains the upper hand when two of the Dark Knight's most ardent allies fall prey to the violent vendetta.

A prophecy once said that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
