Exclusive Extended Preview: THE BLACK BAT #1

Get a look at Brian Buccellato's new series from Dynamite Entertainment.

Back in March we posted an advanced review for Brian Buccellato's new series at Dynamite Entertainment. We also did an interview with Buccellato on the book. Of course, he's been on a few episodes of The Invincibly Super Massive Comic Book Podcast of Stuff where he's talked about bringing the pulp character back and updating for a new generation.

The first issue is on sale this week and Dynamite has given us an exclusive extended look at it. Check out the art by Ronan Cliquet.

A classic pulp from the 30’s returns in this modern take on a seminal character that inspired several well-known comic icons. Tony Quinn is a brash Defense Attorney to the mob who compromises his ethics for financial gain. When he refuses to cross the line and commit murder, he is tortured and blinded by his gangster employers. But when a fortuitous meeting with a covert agency gives him a chance to make amends, Tony transforms into the Black Bat and embarks on a redemptive quest to right the wrongs of his past.
