IT'S VALENTINES DAY IN GOTHAM! In 1996, writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale teamed up for Batman: The Long Halloween, an award-winning, 13-chapter saga that spawned multiple sequels and stands as the most influential Batman story of its era. Now, Loeb returns to the world of The Long Halloween for its long-anticipated final act: Batman: The Last Halloween, an all-new 10-part mystery continuing the story from 2021's The Long Halloween Special. In each issue, Loeb will be joined by one of the top artists in comics in a beautiful and lovingly crafted tribute to Sale's art and legacy. Hehehehehehehehahahahahahahahahaahahahahaahaha!

In this exceptional installment, Sienkiewicz's visuals and Loeb's rapid-fire storytelling combine to propel Gotham into surreal chaos and palpable intensity, laying the groundwork for even more explosive twists ahead.
