Every character with a vested interest in the Valiant Universe is soon going to find themselves taking sides in a conflict that the publisher says will be their “most consequential” event of all time.

By Darryn Bonthuys
November 3, 2017 - 8 years ago

You wouldn’t think that a Batman comic book would have time to tackle the idea of love, outside of the most romantic of bruisings that the darkest of knights hands out with knuckle-kisses to enemies, but the second issue of Batman: White Knight is very much a love story. A romance in two dozen pages from writer and artist Sean Gordon Murphy, that details the positive impact that love can have. As well as the more dangerous aspects of a romance that becomes an obsession.
