Batman 2021 Annual #1

Ghost-Maker takes center stage in this 2022 oversized annual, the cover promising exactly what the tagline delivers: "The Ghost-Maker Saga Concludes!" Ricardo López Ortiz's art puts the sleek, white-masked Ghost-Maker front and center, surrounded by a fierce crowd of adversaries — a grinning demon-masked figure looming overhead, a snarling reptilian brute, a cloaked figure watching from the shadows, and a smaller masked creature lurking to the side. It's a densely charged image that captures the sense of a hero outnumbered but unbroken, making this a satisfying capstone to the arc that writer James Tynion IV and López Ortiz have been building through the main series.
