Matt’s pick: The Bat-Man: Second Knight #1: The year is 1940. Bodies are turning up in theatrically gruesome ways, all staged with the killer’s calling card: a hangman’s noose. While The Bat-Man endeavors to solve the spate of murders, a young reporter from the Daily Star named Lois Lane arrives in Gotham.
