Explore Gotham City's history in this week's Batman: Gates of Gotham #1 by writers Scott Snyder and Kyle Higgins and artist Trevor McCarthy. Batman is forming a team with some of the greatest detectives, such as Red Robin, Owlman, I-Ching, and others, to help explore a mystery older than Gotham itself. As the mystery grows, the team finds itself exploring different eras in Gotham's history and some of the most well known families in the city. This series will also delve further into some of the mysterious story elements from Grant Morrison's Batman: Return of Bruce Wayne. That's not all of the Bat books this week! Batman and Robin #23 features the return of Jason Todd as the Red Hood, and Batman #710 brings back another of Batman's infamous villains, Two-Face!
Acclaimed writer Chris Yost and artists Paco Medina and Dalibor Talajic kick off the next big X-Men story arc in X-Men Giant-Size #1!

Years ago, something so horrible happened to the original X-Men (Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Angel, Iceman, and Professor X) that they have locked the memory away, but it all comes back with the introduction of the Evolutionaries!
