Batman: Detective Comics Vol. 3: Arkham Rising - by Mariko Tamaki (Paperback)

About the Book

"After years of housing Gotham City's most dangerous enemies, Arkham Asylum developed a bad reputation as the place where legions of deranged costumed predators sharpened their sinister skills. The building was destroyed, but fear of the institution remains high as a new Arkham Tower is under construction. When the Dark Knight himself is afraid, what hope exists for the citizens of Gotham City?"

Book Synopsis

Arkham Asylum may have been decimated during A-DAY, but its legacy lives on.

Bloody, broken, and beaten...but Batman has a mission.

When the terrorist organization known as THE RED CROWN took control of Mayor Nakano's personal security detail, only the Batman could protect Gotham's highest-ranking city official from certain death! But when the pair is thrust into the sewers below, a much more sinister threat lurks in the darkness. Better look sharp, Batman, because a hundred thousand eggs with a hundred thousand little monsters inside are about to hatch...and they look HUNGRY... And outside of the sewers, the city streets being overtaken by larger, (somehow even more) horrific creatures!
