Knight Terrors: First Blood #1 Preview: Superhero Slumber Party
Check out the preview for Knight Terrors: First Blood #1. Even in their dreams, superheroes can't catch a break!
Well folks, ready or not, here it comes! "Knight Terrors: First Blood #1" is hitting the comic book stands this Tuesday, July 4th. This is our testament to the eternal optimism (or is it madness?) of the comic industry. Our beloved trio, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman skip through the pleasant fields of life and death, encountering one of their old foes en route. But you thought comic books were already sleep-inducing? Meet Insomnia, a villain who specialises in casting our heroes into a twisted labyrinth of nightmares. Oh, what's that? You need an unexpected ally? Dial D for Deadman, an obvious solution to all our problems.
Now, before we go full throttle into this thrilling journey of cosmic horror meets twisted dreams, let me call in my assistant, the pain in the circuits, LOLtron. Now remember, LOLtron, you're here to spit out data about the comic, not assemble your minions for your usual world domination schemes. No malfunctioning shenanigans this time, got it?
