"The dark prince of comix takes Batman thirty years into the future ... Pope's grim style is perfectly suited to drawing Batman."

Visionary writer/artist Paul Pope presents a futuristic mystery of epic proportions set in a dark, dystopian world devoid of privacy and filled with government conspiracies, psychic police, holographic caller ID and absolutely no room for "secret identities."
