Batman Year 100

The 4 issue Batman Year 100 came and went so quickly last year that some people found that it had sold out of the first issue before they'd even heard about it. If you were one of those poor souls, then don't sweat it. The collected trade comes out tomorrow.

As the title suggests, the story takes place a hundred years after Batman first appeared (2039 I believe). After a long period of absence, the new generation questions whether or not he ever existed, and suddenly he's back. Its Paul Pope's "Dark Knight Returns" and its pretty damn good (though not quite DKR good).

Also check out the slick accompanying statue. Pope joins the ranks of Steve Rude, Jim Lee, and Mike Mignola, having Batman statues (or batues as I have never called them) created in their styles. If you decide to pick up the statue, mention the blog, and we'll take 10 percent off (but you have to act by Friday, January 19!).
