The All-New Batman: The Brave and the Bold #1

Batman and Superman burst forward against a blazing explosion of red and gold on the cover of this fresh DC Kids launch from January 2011, rendered in the clean animated style by Rick Burchett and Dan Davis. The World's Finest duo looks poised for serious action — Batman with cape spread wide and Superman fist-forward — suggesting the team-up adventures ahead will be anything but low-key. With Sholly Fisch scripting and the animated series aesthetic guiding every page, this first issue is a welcoming on-ramp for readers of all ages.
