The espionage landscape of the DC Universe is systematically dismantled in Event Leviathan, a high-stakes mystery thriller from the visionary creative team of Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev. Over six issues, a mysterious new entity known as Leviathan wipes out the world's most powerful intelligence agencies—including A.R.G.U.S., Checkmate, and the DEO—in a single morning. This leaves the world's greatest detectives with no choice but to unite to uncover the identity of the person behind the mask.
The series features a "detective council" led by Lois Lane and Batman, joined by Green Arrow, The Question, Plastic Man, and Manhunter. As the group navigates a web of misinformation and global chaos, they are forced to interrogate their own allies and rivals to find the missing link. With Maleev’s moody, fully-painted noir artwork, Event Leviathan is a sophisticated "whodunit" that fundamentally altered the power structure of secret organizations within DC Comics.
⭐ Why This Series Stands Out
Reunites the iconic Bendis and Maleev team for their first major DC Universe event.
Features a unique focus on the DC detectives, giving spotlight to characters like Vic Sage and Kate Spencer.
A genuine mystery that keeps readers guessing the identity of Leviathan until the final reveal in issue #6.
The cinematic, noir aesthetic created by Maleev perfectly captures the shadow-filled world of international espionage.
Includes a heavy focus on Lois Lane as the world's premier investigative journalist taking charge of the investigation.
Acts as a relaunch point for several classic DC concepts, leading directly into the Checkmate series.
