WILLOW WILSON Artist: GIUSEPPE CAMUNCOLI and CLIFF RATHBURN Cover Artist: GIUSEPPE CAMUNCOLI and CLIFF RATHBURN Gotham City's new mayor, Pamela Isley, deserted by her allies both political and arcane, is about to make a last-ditch power play that will leave Gotham decimated by daylight. Having already declared war on the Bat-Family and flooded the streets with his private, paramilitarized police army, Police Commissioner Vandal Savage sees an opportunity to solve two problems at once. Storylines converge in Batman: Bad Seeds, a Gotham City event spanning one long, dark night in Gotham that threatens to turn the entire city into a hostile world of prehistoric plant life unlike anything on Earth for millennia, at a time when its greatest heroes are hunted and in hiding. As the sun goes down and Gotham loses power, Matt Fraction (Batman), G. Willow Wilson (Poison Ivy), Giuseppe Camuncoli (Absolute Evil), and Cliff Rathburn (The Walking Dead) deliver an unforgettable opening chapter that shows the only thing scarier than the night just might be the morning sun… Variant covers by DAN MORA and MARCIO TAKARA. Bad Seeds variant cover by JORGE JIMENEZ. Foil variant cover by DAN MORA ($8.99 US). Glow-in-the-Dark variant cover by JEFF SPOKES. Blank sketch cover.
