Based on the acclaimed videogame series from Telltale Games, this new digital-first comic tells the story of events between the first and second seasons. Someone is killing people associated with Arkham Asylum during the time Thomas Wayne was forcibly committing people there. Suspicion falls on the families suing Bruce Wayne to pay for the harm caused by his father. Batman has other ideas, but his investigation leads to him becoming the target of a deadly assassin.
This book is a must buy. If you haven't added it to your pull lists pick up this first issue and you will be convinced. One of the best things about these limited Batman stories is that even if you haven't bothered with the character in the past or find the Bat-family drama too confusing, these stories drop all of that away and focus on what is important to the character.

This story (along with the game) really bring out something that really gets overlooked alot in Bat-titles. The psychology of Bruce Wayne. Christos Gage and the writers at Telltale have really crafted a world that contains everything I love about Batman. The mystery is very solid and is focused on detective work instead of spectacle. It's an emotional take on the characters that shows what truly drives the world's greatest detective. I cannot wait to see where Christos takes this story. Read Full Review

"Batman: Sins of the Father" #1 is a good comic with the caveat that you'll be missing quite a bit without having played the games it's attached to. Read Full Review
There's hope, though. The plot thickens as the issue progresses, and the overall story promises to be at least slightly thrilling with a few interesting developments along the way. I'm not going to write Sins of the Fatheroff just yet, as Ienco and Gage are talented and come recommended, but I'll be holding my breath. Here's hoping I don't turn purple before they deliver.
