DC Comics Presents: Elseworlds 80-Page Giant #1
In "The Reaching Hand," Mark Waid and Ty Templeton reimagine the DC Universe with wild, alternate-history twists: a submerged Batman patrols the ocean depths, the Golden-Age Teen Titans face a world beyond their time, and even the Garden of Eden has its own Adam in the cowl. With bold, surreal takes on iconic characters—from Metallo Kent to Grodd Columbus—this Elseworlds giant blends daring concepts with Templeton’s distinctive art, all on a cover by Templeton that captures the story’s electric, off-kilter spirit.
