Fear State Bat-family Event to Launch in August

[Superboy-Prime]

Well, if we look at the digital-first sales- Second son 12 is place 18 this week on comixology (https://www.comixology.com/comics-best-sellers)

and on Amazon, it's in place *704* for 45-minute comics (Nightwing, Yara flor, Robin, are all in the first 20)

So again, the sales really don't look that great.

Nah, they're good. The problem is that Second Son #12 was a reprint of #10 for a little while.

OK, but that was still the last DC comics day, and Nightwing and Yara flor were also released on the very same day and they managed to stay on the top 20.
So "it was a week ago" isn't an explanation.

Anyway, maybe that's the reason they try to push Jace extra hard now.

It's selling more than Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point on the DC Comics app. So that's probably just Amazon.

Edit: Bro, it's in the top 20 best-selling comics for ComiXology.

Plot thickens, Jace is going to be shown off with Bruce in Free Comic Book Day this year in August

Those don't exist. All we have to go off of is Comichron's sales to comic shops list.

okay never mind

I'll probably check out the "I am Batman" one shot and the Future State Alpha issue.

I like Jace as a character but I'm iffy about him becoming Batman II. Legacies and Replacement characters just became less appealing over the years. Often they tend to lose what makes them distinct when they are passed around by different writers. I'm hopeful they can avoid that here but I'm doubtful.

Ironically I would have chosen his brother Luke to be the next Batman. He's a safer bet than either Jace or Duke. He had 20 issues of a solo comic and is a more consistent figure than either character. It's feels like an easier sell outside of grabbing the YJ kids.

Right now Jace's biggest selling point is John Ridley. Which is why I think putting Jace as the Earth One Batman would've been more ideal. Using the future state legacies to beef up the Earth One graphic novel line would kill two birds with one stone.

Wait, do we know if I am Batman is a one-shot? I assumed it was the zero issue to an ongoing or something.

It’s most likely a ongoing, but they haven’t announced anything besides issue 0.

I just thought it was a one-shot.

With Jace and the Batfamily, it be better if he had a different dynamic with them than just being Bruce 2.0.

[Frontier]

He isn't replacing bruce. They are hoping that he will be able to stand side by side with bruce as a modern day Batman.

So trying to do the Miles Morales approach without the AU aspect.

It’s described as a series in DC’s FCBD post.

The new Dark Knight, Jace Fox, has arrived in this sneak peek of the upcoming I Am Batman series written by Oscar® winner John Ridley (The Other History of the DC Universe) with stunning art by Travel Foreman (The Next Batman: Second Son).

That's how I understand it. Can really do the AU angle since Terry is pretty established with a dedicated fanbase that covers multiple mediums

Batman 112-117 Variants by Jorge Molina

I wanna cry this is so gorgeous! I already want a print of it. The way Ivy's drawn kinda reminds me of a tarot card or art nouveau style illustration. Or a Magic card--she's looking more and more like a fantasy character.

Some designs we may or may not have seen before, not sure:
