The co-creators of Bane, Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan, make a triumphant return to the character with this new graphic novel that will push him to the limit- Bane- Conquest! The super-criminal Bane is determined to claim his place as the greatest villain who has ever lived! In the dark waters off the coast of Gotham City, a mysterious crew of smugglers has made a deadly mistake--they tried to bring weapons of mass destruction into Bane's city! After tracing the illicit arms back to their source, Bane and his henchmen uncover a criminal conspiracy that seems to span the entire globe and encompass every illegal activity under the sun. But if there really is a secret empire behind all of the world's crime, Bane should--nay, must--be the one running it. And no one--not assassin cults, super-hackers, Catwoman or Batman himself--is going to stand in his way! Twenty-five years after bringing Bane to life in Batman- Knightfall, creators Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan reunite to tell the most epic tale yet of one of Batman's most dangerous foes! Collects issues #1-12.
