ITEM # Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham

Batman: Lovecraftian Horror

An unholy fusion of Gotham’s darkest legend and pure Lovecraftian terror emerges in this chilling tale by Mike Mignola, Richard Pace, and Troy Nixey. Set in 1928, twenty years after the brutal murder of his parents, Bruce Wayne returns to a city teetering on the brink of cosmic annihilation.

From the shadows comes the Lurker on the Threshold—summoning immortal sorcerers, reptilian abominations, and horrors of fungal decay to consume the world. Against such unspeakable forces, Batman must descend into a darkness far greater than he has ever known, embracing the monstrous to combat the unimaginable.

A masterful reimagining of the Batman mythos, this story blends detective noir, gothic atmosphere, and eldritch horror into a haunting vision of heroism where the line between man and monster dissolves under the weight of ancient, alien evil.
