Fanhome Drops A Stunning Must-Have ‘Batman’ Graphic Novel Collection

by Anton Kromoff

Welcome to the table,

I’ve always been a fan of Batman. He’s not just this weirdo that dresses up as a bat and kicks people off rooftops. In the larger meta of it all, he seems to show up in my life in a meaningful way when things are going sideways and I need a bit of a reminder who I am. There was this one time I had lost nearly everything and had to make a multi-state move thanks to some really wicked planning by a real piece of work.

I was sitting in the comic shop I had grown up kind of rudderless and the owner of the shop, a real father figure in my life, handed me a stack of comics that turned things around for me a bit. What he handed me were the first three issues of Batman New 52 from his own pulls. I love Batman books and lost a good chunk of them over the years due to forces well out of my control. These issues were hard to come by, with issue three already in multiple printings. What he did was incredibly kind to a guy who had just lost almost everything and was trying to rebuild his life.

I didn’t fully grasp the significance of those books until much later, but at that moment, the art and story anchored me and set me back on my path. Batman has always had a way of doing that for me… centering me and getting me back into the game of life.

In a weird sort of way, this email hit my inbox and I got really excited so I wanted to share this with you all. Fanhome has something epic in store for Batman enthusiasts. They are dropping The Legends of Batman, a subscription service for hardcover graphic novels that dive deep into the greatest adventures of the Caped Crusader.

As someone who loves stuff in the mail, this really rules. Each month, you are getting a Batman graphic novel packed with work from titanic talents like Andy Kubert, Tim Sale, Neal Adams, and the main man Greg Capullo, alongside award-winning writers like Jeph Loeb, and one of my favorites Scott Snyder. Every novel is over 120 pages long, printed on high-quality glossy paper, and is said to have bonus content that covers concept art, commentary, and variant cover galleries.

It’s a perfect gift for the Batman fan in your life, someone who wants to read more about the Dark Knight but does not know where to start, or someone like myself who really could use replacements for a collection long lost.

Pre-orders are open now at the link. What are you waiting for? GO!

Until next time, New 52 Batman really did set me on a solid path. It helped rekindle my sense of wonder and along with bringing me back to other Batman stories I loved it also helped me reacclimate to my local community and meet new friends. It really was a cool moment in my history and I am grateful for it.
