Sep 2005 · DC · 19.99 USD; 26.99 CAD
“"I Pledge Allegiance..."”

In "I Pledge Allegiance...", writer Jeph Loeb and artist Carlos Pacheco explore a chilling alternate timeline where Lightning Lord and Saturn Queen alter history by killing Martha and Jonathan Kent, leading to a future shaped by their adopted son Kal-El. Meanwhile, the Cosmic King intervenes as Bruce Wayne’s parents are murdered, raising a very different Batman. The story unfolds with haunting consequences, all rendered in bold, dynamic art by Pacheco and Merino, with vivid colors by Laura Martin and sharp lettering by Richard Starkings. The cover, also by Pacheco and Merino, captures the stark contrast of this twisted reality.
