Two-Face is about to get multiple issues for the first time in his career as Batman antagonist. DC Comics has announced Two-Face, a new limited series by Christian Ward and Fábio Veras.
Likened to the recent Penguin series, this will find Harvey Dent explore a “Perry Mason-like life as an attorney-at-law,” per PR provided to Comic Book Club. However, the bad side of Harvey doesn’t love that. And in fact, it wants complete control of Harvey’s mind.
“After falling in love with writing the beautiful, complicate, Harvey in Batman: City of Madness,” said Ward, “I couldn’t be more excited to be, or prouder, to be writing Two-Face’s very first solo series! Two-Face is without any hesitation not just my favourite Batman villain but my favourite character in all of Gotham, and I’m thrilled to be taking him, together with superstar artist in the making Fábio Veras and the legends that are colourist Ivan Plascencia and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, to some wild places you might not be expecting. The first of which takes Harvey Dent back to the courtroom.”
The series kicks off with what seems like an impossible case: prove Victor Zsasz is innocent of murdering a member of Gotham’s underworld.
“In our series, Harvey is trying to use his criminology skills to resolve the conflicts of Gotham’s weird and dangerous criminal underground…all the while he has his eye on a return to civilized society and perhaps reconciling with his old friend, Bruce Wayne,” Ward continued. “So all rise, court is in session, Harvey has tossed his coin and judgment is about to land!”
Two-Face #1 also features colors by Ivan Plascencia and lettering by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. It will hit stores on December 4 with a main cover by Baldemar Rivas and variant covers by Ward, Chris Samnee, and Leonardo Romero.
