Batman #43

Part three of "Superheavy" arrives with one of the more quietly striking covers of 2015 — a figure in a dark tactical suit bends down among a sprawling field of vivid yellow and orange flowers, the hazy Gotham City skyline looming silently in the background. The contrast between that soft, almost pastoral setting and the unmistakable edge of the costume is genuinely arresting, the kind of image Greg Capullo and Danny Miki make look effortless. Scott Snyder's run continues to find unexpected angles on Gotham, and this issue's cover alone makes a compelling case to turn the page.
