Considered one of the greatest stories in the Dark Knight's historic lore, BATMAN- THE COURT OF OWLS SAGA is an epic tale told by two of comics' finest storytellers. Graphic novels to read anywhere- DC Compact Comics collect DC's bestselling, most iconic stories in a new size!.

304 pages.

This came out of the New 52 (2011) DC reboot, I think it was the second story of the new Batman run, introduced some great new lore.

Absolutely kicking myself, this was out of stock a week ago, paid nearly double of eBay from UK, still waiting on it, hopefully someone here can get the deal I missed.

This DC Compact Edition series of books are smaller than the normal comic volumes, closer to a regular book, but still just large enough to be readable. Similar in format to manga. Additionally, they are very affordable compared to the DC/Marvel post pandemic pricing, at US$9.99 a book.

Here's what they look like next to regular books.

    Yes it's great but not a bargain?

      In addition to being on discount, they are infrequently available, I paid A$26 last week for what was the cheapest available option.

    It was the first volume of batman comic in the new 52. It is my favourite Batman comic. This is a comic that needs to be read physically over digital.

    I'm personally not a fan of the smaller size though.

      My memory failing me, I thought the Joker face/dinner story was the first for new 52.

        That was in detective comics. New 52 was what got me into comics so I remember it well.

        2012 I think was the year. That is a while ago

        Edit: the dinner with Joker was volume three I think of Batman. The face removal of joker was detective comics.

    I love the series (Compact Comics). A great entry point into the world of DC comics. Very affordable.

    Marvel also have a slightly larger and more expensive series called "Marvel Premier Collection".

      I have the Woman of Tomorrow one on preorder, the upcoming movie is based on it.

      • Me too!! Very Keen. Just got the Kingdom Come one today, and Birthright on Preorder. As well as Batman Hush. Such a handy form factor. Was getting over my larger ones

          Batman Hush is an amazing read and I cannot think of a book with better artwork. Jim Lee is a WIZARD!

  • Nice! Such a great story!

  • Am I doing something wrong? Mine says its $18.49

  • Got one, thanks OP

      That's only volume 1. I think the posted one is multiple volumes (double the pages)

  • This is really good, Scott Snyder is overrated but a worthy and prodigious talent.

  • Hoot! Hoot!

  • Oh gosh out of stock!
