When Gotham is ashes, then he has DC's permission to conquer.
Everything is coming up Bane in DC Rebirth. Not only has the villain been a prominent player in Tom King's Batman series, he'll soon be spinning out into his own solo comic. Even better, that comic will reunite Bane with two of his co-creators, writer Chuck Dixon and artist Graham Nolan.
Today (via CBR) DC revealed Bane: Conquest, a new 12-issue maxi-series spinning out of the events of the "I Am Bane" storyline. DC's solicitation for the first issue teases, "The Man Who Broke The Bat moves beyond Gotham to find new cities to conquer and new enemies to crush. He won’t stop until he stands at the top of the world of crime!"
The series will also team Bane with his former henchmen Bird, Trogg and Zombie, who returned in the pages of Batman #17 today. Based on Nolan's preview art, it also appears that Bane will receive a slight makeover and remain hooked on the super-steroid Venom following his latest clash with Batman.
“Always happy to be reunited with Graham and this is an especially heady experience returning to our most significant contribution to the Batman mythos,” Dixon said in a statement to CBR. “The best aspect of this project is that it’s not a cameo or nostalgia tour for Graham and I. It’s more like we’re back after all this time to work on a truly epic story about Bane and we haven’t lost a step.”
Bane: Conquest isn't the only major new story DC is launching in May. Earlier this week we learned about a new Teen Titans/Titans/Deathstroke crossover called "The Lazarus Contract."
Look for Bane: Conquest #1 to ship in May.
