Batman #16

I Am Bane" begins here, and David Finch and Danny Miki's cover sets the tension beautifully: Batman and Catwoman stand close together in an intimate, almost defiant pose against a fiery orange sky, while the looming masked silhouette of Bane dominates the background above them. Three red crosshair medallions frame the faces of figures caught in Bane's sights, with a field of skulls at their feet making the stakes unmistakably clear. Tom King's run continues to deliver that rare blend of personal drama and high-stakes menace, and this 2017 opener looks like a compelling chapter in the DC Universe Rebirth era.
