No-Face's Origin
Someone requested scans of Battle for the Cowl: Arkham Asylum #1. Well here they are. But more specifically the origin of No-Face. So let's all put on a happy face!

Not the first time I've posted on Scans Daily. You might recall my Goblin posts namely of the Hobgoblin. Oh yes that was me. Anycase I bring you the most tragic tale of the three "special" in-mates at Arkham Asylum that where introduced in the Battle for the Cowl special. I bring you the origin of No-Face:

So Dr. Arkham gets the other two free as well. A dude who loves mirrors and a woman who has a face so hideous it'll make you go nuts. But they don't have the impact as No-Face's origin does. And as for the finale. Well let's just say you're left with the feeling No-Face is so gonna waste his cell-mates and the good doctor in about thirty seconds with his "new face".

And now for you're viewing pleasure. I dare you to play this while reading the four pages:

Anyway I hope you enjoyed this little origin. And here's hoping I didn't screw up like my first try in the original scans daily. Oh God remember that? What was that like thirteen pages uncut before I fixed it? Eep! God I hope I got it right this time.

Clue 1 dad, the mask is not coming off.
Clue 2, Alessio was crazy before he lost his face
superglueing a mask to his face. Wait what!
No
So the damage was so extensive , it messed with his facial muscles.
So Dad did not notice that the mask was not budging :/
WATTTT

And the glue was that strong???
I.... I...This.. *walks away*

Then again, this falls into perfect classic Batman campiness. So looking at this from that POV. Well then, Ok *thumbs up* for original camp origin.

See, I could get behind the having a REALLY strong glue and when the mask was ripped off it took some skin off with it, but it's the way it is shown that is really odd. I mean, that picture of him right after the mask is ripped off makes it look like almost all of the flesh on his face was yanked off. Even his nose is almost totally gone. Like I said before, his dad must have Superman strength or something to rip off that much of his face.
