“No Law And A New Order Part One: Values”

In the wake of Gotham City being abandoned by the U.S. government and left to fend for itself, lawlessness reigns and survival is a daily battle. With no power, scarce supplies, and the people divided into warring factions, hope is fading—especially since Batman hasn’t been seen in 93 days. But when a new, enigmatic vigilante begins marking gang territories with a bat-shaped symbol, the city wonders: is this a sign of a return, or something far more unsettling? Written by Bob Gale and illustrated by Alex Maleev, with inks by Wayne Faucher, colors by Digital Chameleon, and letters by Willie Schubert, this gripping first chapter of "No Law And A New Order Part One: Values" sets a tense, atmospheric tone. The cover, a striking portrait by Alex Ross, captures the city’s grim transformation.

As Gotham City is declared a No Man's Land by the U.S. government, the people that still reside there begin to scavenge and steal from one another. Tribes and gangs form for protection, including the Gotham City Police Department. There is no power, little supplies, and even less hope. Worse, no one has seen Batman in 93 days. All believe he has given up on Gotham. But then who is the mysterious, costumed vigilante who is marking gang territory with a bat-shaped symbol?
