Batman: The Cult #[nn]
This Spanish-language collection reprints the classic 1988 Batman: The Cult limited series, written by Jim Starlin with art by Bernie Wrightson. The story follows Batman as he is captured and brainwashed by a charismatic cult leader named Deacon Blackfire, who has amassed an army of the homeless in Gotham's sewers. A dark and psychological tale, it showcases Wrightson's detailed, horror-infused artwork and explores Batman's vulnerability and resilience.
In this pivotal 2025 issue of Batman: The Cult, written by Jim Starlin and illustrated with haunting precision by Bernie Wrightson—whose cover pencils and inks match the story’s grim intensity—Batman and Robin fight to survive a Gotham overrun by Deacon Blackfire’s army of the homeless. After escaping the suffocating sewers, where Batman is visibly broken by what he’s endured, Robin’s plea snaps him back to focus just as the National Guard withdraws and the city teeters on evacuation. With barricades holding back the military and sniper fire cutting down every attempt to intervene, Batman makes a devastating decision: he tells Robin to call Alfred, and declares they’re leaving Gotham for good—Blackfire has won.
