by Claudio Sánchez (Writer), Chondra Echert (Writer), Daniel Bayliss (Artist)

The Horse has been the arch-enemy of The Navigator for years. But The Horse feels The Navigator's moral compass slipping, and even a villain can't let that happen. The Horse decides to get a closer look into The Navigator's past that he's buried deep in his subconscious and find out what drives a person to make the right choice, and what propels someone to make a selfish one. Thus begins an exploration of why a young man would take the mantle of a superhero.

A Batman analogue meets his Joker in a situation that reminded me of Death of The Family and Geoff Johns Zoom saga. A villain exists to define his hero and that's what Joker analogue is doing to his Batman who he feels is slipping, and this appears to occurring entirely inside a young boy's head. This first issue is confusing, so I am focusing entirely on the superhero parts so I won't descend in to some simulated insanity trying to understand this issue. One would definitely need to get the second issue.

Interesting concept, though I'm not sure how well it would hold up over the course of a series.
