Overview Market Data $94+ Reviews 1 Discussion

The origins of the enigmatic Ark M facility take center stage as the journals of Amadeus Arkham reveal a hidden and violent history stretching back to the nineteenth century. What began as one man's attempt to build a place of healing has been twisted across generations into something unrecognizable.

Scott Snyder and Frank Tieri craft a story rooted in gothic horror, with Joshua Hixson's art setting a tone distinct from the main Absolute Batman series. The issue provides critical background on the Joker's most dangerous asset within the Absolute Universe.
