Preview: Batman #86 and Art From #85

Article by Steve J. Ray

Batman #85 will mark the end of Tom King’s hugely successful and critically acclaimed run on Batman. With James Tynion IV ready to jump on-board as new writer, DC Comics have given us a first look at Tony Daniel and Danny Miki’s interior artwork from Batman #86, showing the new status quo for Batman and, well, whatever new tech Lucius Fox is building. Also attached is the debut of a new cover for Batman #86 by Tony Daniel, Danny Miki and Tomeu Morey.

It’s a new day for Gotham City… and for Batman. With Bane vanquished and Alfred gone, Batman has to pick up the pieces and step up his game. But he’s not the only one with a new plan for Gotham: Deathstroke has returned, under a mysterious new contract that could change everything.

A whole new chapter in the life of the Dark Knight starts January 8th, 2020, as the epic art team of Tony S. Daniel, Danny Miki and Tomeu Morey are joined by new series writer James Tynion IV! Here’s your first look at Tony Daniel and Danny Miki’s interior pages from Batman #86, as well as a sneak peek at Tynion’s kick-off to 2020’s Batman run by Guillem March, Tomeu Morey and Clayton Cowles, a three-page story in Batman #85, on sale December 18th
