Gangs Of Gotham #1 Preview

 

When members of the Torus used Anarky to spark a crime war, the Minotaur punished them to keep them in line. Then, he marked Anarky for death. Batman prevented Torus soldiers from killing Anarky. Still, Anarky needed to eat. So when Gotham went "Little Shop of Horrors," Anarky sold pizzas for handfuls of Ben Franklins, and stole $50,000 with a 3D-printed gun.

 

Anarky believes the Bat-family, the police, and the inhabitants of Gotham are trapped in the Minotaur’s labyrinth. Still, as Gotham recovers from Poison Ivy’s superbloom, what opportunities might come Anarky’s way? And how much will he risk as he finds his feet in a hopelessly corrupt city?

Christopher Cantwell and Mike Henderson take on

Gotham City in the Aftermath of Batman: Bad Seeds!

 

 

Anarky rules! The Torus has given Anarky an ultimatum: Unify the 100 low-level street gangs not currently under Torus control—or die. If Lonnie Machin succeeds, he’ll get a seat at the table. But if he fails, it’s lights out for Anarky. His first stop? Gotham’s East End—a complete free-for-all for some of Gotham’s nastiest and most uncontrollable individuals. Should be simple enough…right?

 

Spiraling out of the pages of Batman: Bad Seeds and Batman come Gangs of Gotham, a thrilling, action-packed, street-level criminal saga from Christopher Cantwell and Mike Henderson!
