TWO-FACE Is Getting His First Solo Series This Year As Harvey Dent Finally Returns To The Courtroom

For the first time since his 1942 debut, Two-Face is getting his own comic book series later this year as Harvey Dent finally returns to the courtroom...can he keep his darker half under control, though?

DC Comics has announced that Two-Face is getting a new limited comic book series from writer Christian Ward and artist Fábio Veras. Believe it or not, this will be the first-ever solo series for the notorious Gotham City supervillain (and occasional good guy) Harvey Dent!

In the tradition of the recent 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. 

Here's the official description for Two-Face #1 directly from DC Comics:

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?

It sounds like a fun premise to us and one which promises to explore the character in a fun, compelling way. While we're sure Harvey's darker side will eventually prevail, this could be the start of an exciting new status quo for the villain. 

"After falling in love with writing the beautiful, complicated, 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."

He added. "The first of which takes Harvey Dent back to the courtroom. 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."

"So all rise, court is in session, Harvey has tossed his coin and judgment is about to land!"

This is interesting & 2-Face could certainly use a new status-quo and hopefully this is the start of that pivot.

I wouldn't mind a couple years of Dent back to being an honest lawyer while still being half burnt.

Finally, some character development. DC is in desperate need of this. Far too concerned with maintaining the status quo with their character to the point everything at DC reads like a modern Spidey comic.
