Exclusive Cover Reveal: GOTHAM BY MIDNIGHT #2 Variant

GOTHAM BY MIDNIGHT #1 is on sale November 26. The series is written by Ray Fawkes with art by Ben Templesmith. While we wait for the first issue to come out, we have your first look at the variant cover for issue #2. This was originally solicited as drawn by Ray Fawkes but it appears to be a cool Rafael Albuquerque cover.

GOTHAM BY MIDNIGHT #2

Internal Affairs Agent Rook is learning the Midnight Shift really does have the hard cases - and Jim Corrigan may not be able to bail him out. At least, not without some divine intervention! But can Corrigan risk letting loose the wrath of God, especially against a departed sister?

So is this series going to be about the Spectre? because if so sign me up

Looks like Rafael Albuquerque instead.

EDIT: Yeah, same signature.

@captainmarvel4ever: Yeah, its basically a Spectre series, and they're just using the Gotham name in the hopes of a sales boost.

They've actually been setting things up a bit in Batman: Eternal, though I don't think its essential reading if you want to get in on Gotham By Midnight.

Looks like this is going to be my second bat-related title on my pull list.

@fhiz: Sigh. That's what I thought. DC told me it was a Fawkes cover but I thought it looked like Albuquerque. Previews also lists Fawkes.

I hope this is good, it seems like what JLD should have been from the start.... you know actually DARK.

Can't wait to read this!

Nice

Oh my. Does this have a certain Gotham Central vibe too it?

Here's a few more details. And if this wasn't enough to get you hyped you may want to check out this 10-page preview on Bleeding Cool.

Definitely yes. Both series focus on the GCPD with Batman and his villains playing only minor roles. Gotham by Midnight features a different, weirder division (the Midnight Shift/Watch) of the GCPD than Gothan Central (homicide division) and seems to be a bit darker... and more mysterious maybe.

I'm really interested in this series, partly because of Ben Templesmith's art, but I don't have a lot of faith in Ray Fawkes.

But man, everything about this sounds awesome.
