Now that S.H.A.D.E. has been dismantled by Leviathan, Frankenstein finds himself free to set his sights on his former mentor, Melmoth, the one evil that got away. With bad things happening across the Multiverse, this may be Frankenstein's last shot at setting things right. Of course, Melmoth has his own agenda, and it's going to take more than a lone monster to take him down.

Batman has always been Gotham's protector, watching over the city he has sworn to keep safe. But what happens when Batman has to face a foe he can't see? Find out in Batman: Ghosts, a classic graphic novel masterwork written and drawn by Sam Kieth (The Maxx, The Sandman). Homeless men and women are turning up dead all over Gotham City.

Soon the man who stalks Gotham's streets by night finds himself being stalked. Batman is haunted by the ghost, who knows things about Bruce Wayne's past that no one (besides his trusted butler, Alfred) could possibly know. Who is this mysterious murderer, and what can Batman do to stop this intangible apparition with a penchant for killing? Collects Batman Confidential #40-43 and Batman/Lobo: Deadly Serious #1-2.

Gotham City has endured much through its dark, twisted history, and even the cosmic changes wrought by the Crisis on Infinite Earths couldn't give the town a fresh start—the grime is in its DNA.
