DC Comics announced Two-Face, a limited series starring Harvey Dent and his criminal alter ego.
Christian Ward and Fábio Veras are the creative team for the series. Ward previously wrote Batman and Two-Face in his twisted Batman: City of Madness mini-series earlier this year. Two-Face promises to do a deep dive exploration in what it is like to live with two personalities in the same body. Harvey Dent is trying to still be a crusading attorney, but Two-Face has other plans for him.
Writer Christian Ward reported that he fell in love writing Harvey in City of Madness. And now he is thrilled to write for his solo series.
“After falling in love with writing the beautiful, complicate, Harvey in Batman: City of Madness. I couldn’t be more excited to be, or prouder, to be writing Two-Face’s very first solo series! Two-Face is without any hesitation not just my favourite Batman villain but my favourite character in all of Gotham, and I’m thrilled to be taking him, together with superstar artist in the making Fábio Veras and the legends that are colourist Ivan Plascencia and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, to some wild places you might not be expecting. The first of which takes Harvey Dent back to the courtroom.”
Harvey is At War with Himself
Ward then teased about what to expect in the series.
“In our series, Harvey is trying to use his criminology skills to resolve the conflicts of Gotham’s weird and dangerous criminal underground…all the while he has his eye on a return to civilized society and perhaps reconciling with his old friend, Bruce Wayne. So all rise, court is in session, Harvey has tossed his coin and judgment is about to land!”
Check out the official DC synopsis for more about the story. It sounds like that the series will get into the weird side of Gotham, as well as have other villains guest-starring.
After years of internal conflict, both halves of Harvey Dent have reached an uneasy peace. In DC’s new Two-Face series, Harvey uses his skills as an attorney to resolve the conflicts of Gotham’s weirdest and most dangerous criminals, starting with Victor Zsasz. When Zsasz is accused of murdering a fellow member of Gotham’s underworld contingent, who better to prove a criminal’s innocence than someone who’s been on both sides of the law?
Two-Face hits comic shops on December 4th.
