JOCK ist das Pseudonym des britischen Comic-Künstlers Mark Simpson, der Ende der 1990er mit Panel-Geschichten in legendären Science-Fiction-Publikationen wie 2000 AD und Judge Dredd Magazine debütierte. Zu seinen bekanntesten Arbeiten zählen heute der verfilmte Vertigo-Comic-Hit THE LOSERS und die Green Arrow-Neudefinition GREEN ARROW: DAS ERSTE JAHR, beide aus der Feder von Andy Diggle. Außerdem illustrierte Jock BATMAN: DER SCHWARZE SPIEGEL, mehrere Kapitel von ALL-STAR BATMAN, die Serie DER BATMAN, DER LACHT und den unabhängigen Horror-Titel Wytches von Bestsellerautor Scott Snyder. Jocks weitere Arbeiten umfassen mehrere HELLBLAZER-Geschichten von Mike Carey und Jamie Delano, die von Carey geschriebene Vertigo-Miniserie FAKER, Beiträge zu Greg Ruckas Batwoman-Neudefinition auf den Seiten des Batman-Traditionstitels DETECTIVE COMICS und einen Mehrteiler für Marvels Savage Wolverine 2, den Jock ebenfalls geschrieben und gezeichnet hat. Darüber hinaus steuerte er Artwork zu SUPERMAN: AMERICAN ALIEN, DC CELEBRATION: DER JOKER und der Anthologie Immortals: Gods and Heroes bei und realisierte mit Autor Jeff Lemire die eigenständige Serie Snow Angels. Jock ist auch als Cover-Zeichner für alle großen US-amerikanischen Comic-Verlage aktiv, gestaltet Poster und Kunstdrucke und wirkte als Konzept-Künstler oder Designer an Filmen wie Hancock, Battleship, Children of Men, Dredd, Batman Begins, X-Men: Zukunft ist Vergangenheit, Ex Machina, Auslöschung und Star Wars – Episode VIII: Die letzten Jedi mit. 2016 erschien der Bildband The Art of Jock.

Blackout story: Jock's Black Label title "Batman: One Dark Knight" focuses the whole story on one particular night in Gotham. Vasquez, the head of prison bureau is convinced the city needs more security and peace far away from crime. Therefore she tries to create super cells to keep special inmates incarcerated. The test subject is the meta human E.M.P who feeds of electricity. However his high tech prison cell is in Blackgate and the GCPD is tasked to transfer the supernatural criminal there from Arkham Asylum. Batman is watching from above. But soon enough problems arise... rating: "Batman: One Dark Knight" really is something different yet something familiar. The story focuses on just this one night which could be a good opportunity for the author to detailize it as far as possible. Batman and Alfed are acting out their main roles - Dark Knight and assistant watching from the Bat Cave. So any new character traits for them are missing - however that's fine for me. I love them exactly as they are. E.M.P. is an interesting choice for the villain. So far he hasn't really said or done anything besides hunting for energy. We will see how this figure evolves in the next issues. All in all the story is an interesting twist but the idea isn't revultionary. What really convinced me is the art style. It's dark, sharp and kind of dirty. Exactly like you would expect Gotham to be. Many shadows are involved trasnfering the feeling of secrecy and mystery. I particulary liked the wide angle shots of Gotham and the visuals of the Batplane flying. conclusion: New twist to existing assets - moody art style. Looking forward to the next issues. 4/5
