The Brave and the Bold #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second volume of the 2009 Brave and the Bold series collects issues #7-12, continuing the team-up adventures of various DC heroes. Written by J. Michael Straczynski, the story follows Batman and a rotating cast of characters—including the Doom Patrol, the Metal Men, and the Freedom Fighters—as they confront the mysterious Book of Destiny, a powerful artifact that threatens reality itself. The collection showcases the dynamic interactions between lesser-known and iconic heroes in standalone yet interconnected tales.
In "The Book of Destiny, Chapter One: Scalpels and Chainsaws," Wally and his family seek answers from Niles Caulder and the Doom Patrol, hoping the brilliant but enigmatic doctor can help slow the alarming pace of his children's accelerated aging. Mark Waid crafts a poignant, character-driven story anchored by George Pérez’s dynamic artwork, with Bob Wiacek’s inks, Tom Smith’s colors, and Rob Leigh’s lettering bringing the emotional weight to life. The cover, a striking collaboration by George Pérez, captures the story’s tense, intimate atmosphere.
In "The Book of Destiny, Chapter Two: Wally's Choice," Wally West brings his family to the Doom Patrol’s sanctuary, seeking answers from Niles Caulder about his children’s accelerated aging. With the weight of time pressing down on his loved ones, Wally must confront difficult choices while the team—including Robotman, Negative Man, and Elasti-Girl—grapples with their own pasts and the mysterious forces at play.
