Batman & Superman Are The Same Person in ALTER EGO (Exclusive Preview)
In Alter Ego, fans get to meet a new hero who's both a dark street fighter like Batman and an icon of virtue like Superman. The new graphic novel comes from writer Nate Cosby (Cow Boy), artist Jacob Edgar (James Bond), colorist Kike J. Diaz (Red Sonja), and letterer Rus Wooton (The Walking Dead).

The people of the city don't realize, however, that both heroes are cocky stuntman Ace Adams.
