Despite the year starting off to a really shitty start, we refused to mope around the apartment. So to lift our spirits up we hit up our favorite place for comic books and bartender sage-like advice – Keith’s Komix. We had a lot to pick up. Well, most of it was for me. But there are a lot of BLACKEST NIGHT tie-ins to look forward to as well as some BAT-family titles. Serena was excited to see that SKY DOLL – DOLL FACTORY # 2 was finally on the shelves.

As Donostia jail burns, assassins stalk its corridors in search of Tom Taylor — and so do the children who’ve decided to be his saviors. But there’s one terrifying encounter still to come, as the Inside Man finally unmasks.
