Story/Spoilers:
In part #1, The story begins as Batman embarks on a mission of mercy to find missing scientist who had been doing research for WayneTech near the Mexico-Guatemala border. As soon as he parachutes down into the crocodile–infested swamps, he encounters a special operations team that had been sent to investigate a downed alien spacecraft that had crashed into an ancient jungle temple. Investigating the wreck, they discover that the alien crew had been overrun by an infestation of parasitic monsters. The monstrous Aliens had also claimed the life of the scientist in the temple ruin, and carried off a member of the Special Ops team.

Finally in part #2, He’s seen many faces of terror from his watch over Gotham City – he’s seen murderous clowns, strange creatures, and all forms of killer psychopaths. But he’s never seen anything like this. Amongst the Mayan ruins of the Amazon forest, the Dark Knight of Gotham is out of his element as he faces an intergalactic infestation of… Aliens

Featuring “Aliens” artwork by comic’s legend Bernie Wrightson. Awesome!!!
