Batman/The Maxx: Arkham Dreams #3 – Cover B (Sam Kieth Variant) – 2018 continues the wild, psychologically layered crossover between DC Comics and IDW Publishing, merging the shadowy streets of Gotham with the bizarre, surreal world of the Outback. With writing and artwork by the legendary Sam Kieth, this third chapter delves even deeper into the fractured psyches of both Batman and The Maxx, blurring the line between reality and hallucination.

In this issue, Dr. Disparu intensifies his grip on the narrative, threatening to unleash chaos across both Gotham and The Maxx’s dreamlike inner realm. Batman, still trying to make sense of The Maxx’s strange connection to his rogues and allies, must confront manifestations of his past trauma—both in the real world and beyond it. This issue expertly balances disturbing imagery with character introspection, as the pair navigate psychological mazes rather than just city streets.

What makes this variant edition particularly desirable is its Cover B, illustrated by Sam Kieth himself. Kieth’s unmistakable style—raw, distorted, emotionally charged—perfectly encapsulates the unsettling tone of the series. This cover is a must-have for fans of his unique aesthetic and for collectors building a full set of the Arkham Dreams mini-series.

The interiors reflect that same off-kilter energy, with Kieth’s artwork pulling readers into warped panels and emotive distortions that echo the dual madness of The Maxx and Batman. Combined with a fragmented, experimental narrative, the issue feels like a fever dream of cross-universe storytelling done right.

Batman/The Maxx: Arkham Dreams #3 – Cover B is a standout entry in a series that’s as much about mental health, trauma, and dual identity as it is about capes and claws. Whether you're a fan of Batman’s darker psychological explorations, or a devoted follower of Sam Kieth’s creator-owned worlds, this issue brings together the best of both.
