Arkham Reborn #2

The second chapter of this three-part miniseries arrives with a cover by Frazer Irving that's as unsettling as Arkham itself — a jigsaw-puzzle composition fragments Batman's silhouette to reveal the haunted faces lurking within: a grotesque demon-like creature, a pale wide-eyed woman, a hulking monstrous figure, and a bespectacled man peering up from below, all pieced together like a fractured psyche. It's a genuinely clever visual metaphor for the asylum's broken world, with David Hine writing and Jeremy Haun on interior art bringing "Just Desserts" to life. For fans of Gotham's darkest corner, this 2010 DC miniseries is shaping up to be a thoughtful, creepy examination of what it means to rebuild — and redefine — madness.
