Envy...self-loathing...jealousy...self-destruction...backstabbing—and that’s just Monday in this business they call show. Ruff and Reddy are not ready for this maelstrom of malice that’s a daily affair in the entertainment-industrial complex, while Pamela Chyron, their increasingly hard-bitten agent, finds herself cleaning up one mess before she’s finished burying another. It’s hell out there in Hollywood!

Ruff and Reddy have hit the skids, plunging from A-list to “huh?” to “wait, who?” and finally to “who cares?” Next stop for these pathetic has-beens on the treadmill to oblivion is the convention circuit—where their agent turns a potential disaster into a goldmine of publicity—and the comeback begins.

The most despised man in America finds himself at the crossroads of faith, of redemption, and of love...as Frank Villa is virtually alone in one last desperate attempt to countermand history repeating itself in its march to annihilation. I know just how he feels.

In the Golden Age of television, Ruff and Reddy were on top of the entertainment worldÉuntil the world turned, and they were forgotten. Now, Ruff is a washed-up television actor. Reddy is a clerk in an upscale grocery store. Can a hungry young agent convince the two one-time partners to make a comeback-and convince the world that it wants to see the famously infamous dog-and-cat comedy team back in the spotlight? DonÕt miss it if you can!

Five. Five. Five intent on committing a second unspeakable act of murderous terrorism. Five intent on avenging that first slaughter, then murdering that other quintet before its mission can be completed. And of course, it''s a love story.

In Elseworlds, heroes are taken from their usual settings and put into strange times and places-some that have existed, or might have existed, and others that can’t, couldn’t or shouldn’t exist. The result: stories that make characters who are as familiar as yesterday seem as fresh as tomorrow. Gotham City is caught in a vortex of corruption and decay, and those who feed on blood and despair are about to suck any remaining life from her dying veins. All that stands against them is the Batman, their legendary companion in the darkness, the last line of defense between the innocent and the screaming chaos of mindless appetite.

Written by Doug Moench and illustrated in full gothic glory by Kelley Jones, John Beatty and Malcolm Jones III, ELSEWORLDS: BATMAN VOL. 2 gives free rein to the darker side of the World’s Greatest Detective, collecting BATMAN & DRACULA: RED RAIN, BATMAN: BLOODSTORM and BATMAN: CRIMSON MIST.

Batman est une icône qui exerce depuis sa création une fascination perpétuelle auprès des auteurs. Fruit du projet de l''éditeur Mark CHIARELLO, en hommage à son mentor Archie GOODWIN qui avait su attirer sur la revue Creepy les plus grands tels Alex TOTH, Frank FRAZETTA, Al WILLIAMSON, Steve DITKO ou encore Bernie WHRIGHTSON, cette anthologie eut également pour ambition de réunir les plus grands de l''industrie des comics autour du personnage de Batman, avec un format imposé – 7 à 8 pages – et une contrainte technique : le noir et blanc. Débutée en 1996, l''expérience se renouvela en 2002, 2008 et 2014, nourrissant le mythe du Chevalier Noir de quelques-unes de ses plus belles planches, et l''imaginaire des lecteurs des interprétations les plus personnelles d''auteurs légendaires.

Vertigo''s latest anthology series goes out with a BANG! Quite a few of them, in fact. The last issue of SFX gathers short stories inspired by the sound of gunfire, the popping of balloons, the kick of a drum and even the origin of the universe itself. It doesn''t get any bigger than that!
