About this Collection

This 2024 hardcover collects the six-issue miniseries that reimagines Edward Nashton's early days as the Riddler. Written by Paul Dano with art by Stevan Subic, the story explores the psychological origins of the obsessive Gotham villain before his first clash with Batman. It's a dark, character-driven take on the Riddler's transformation from a troubled outsider into a criminal mastermind defined by his compulsion for puzzles and riddles.

In "The Riddler: Year One, Chapter 1: A New Beginning," Edward Nashton—quiet, precise, and deeply attuned to patterns—uncovers something unsettling in a routine financial audit. His attempt to report the anomalies sets off a ripple that forces him to confront a world he’s always tried to understand from a distance. Written by Paul Dano and illustrated by Stevan Subic, with a striking cover by Bill Sienkiewicz, this issue introduces a chillingly intelligent mind at the edge of a transformation.
