Dr. Kirk Langstrom is back in his own title, separate from DC’s ongoing “Future State” titles giving fans a look at a story closer to the present timeline rather than the sci-fi epics currently front-and-center at the publisher. Set sometime before the events of Metal and Langstrom’s time in Justice League Dark, this series jumps right into the action of who Man-Bat is and what the character stands for. It’s also there this debut issue finds itself most successful.
