Today, DC announced a new limited comic book series by creators Christian Ward and Fábio Veras, Two-Face, the first series for Gotham City’s notorious Super-Villain (and sometimes good guy) Harvey Dent. In the tradition of recently completed and villain-focused comic book series The Penguin, DC’s new “All In” series Two-Face explores the good and bad sides of Harvey Dent as two characters operating and living in the same body. As the good Harvey explores a Perry Mason-like life as an attorney-at-law, bad Harvey doesn’t just want partial control of the body, but full control of the mind!

“After falling in love with writing the beautiful, complicate, Harvey in Batman: City of Madness,” said Ward, “I couldn't be more excited to be, or prouder, to be writing Two-Face's very first solo series! Two-Face is without any hesitation not just my favourite Batman villain but my favourite character in all of Gotham, and I'm thrilled to be taking him, together with superstar artist in the making Fábio Veras and the legends that are colourist Ivan Plascencia and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, to some wild places you might not be expecting. The first of which takes Harvey Dent back to the courtroom.”

After years of internal conflict, both halves of Harvey Dent have reached an uneasy peace. In DC’s new Two-Faceseries, Harvey uses his skills as an attorney to resolve the conflicts of Gotham’s weirdest and most dangerous criminals, starting with Victor Zsasz. When Zsasz is accused of murdering a fellow member of Gotham’s underworld contingent, who better to prove a criminal’s innocence than someone who’s been on both sides of the law?
“In our series, Harvey is trying to use his criminology skills to resolve the conflicts of Gotham’s weird and dangerous criminal underground…all the while he has his eye on a return to civilized society and perhaps reconciling with his old friend, Bruce Wayne,” said Ward. “So all rise, court is in session, Harvey has tossed his coin and judgment is about to land!”
