“Redslash [Knightfall 3]”

In "Redslash [Knightfall 3]," Batman ventures into the eerie, shadowed halls of the Bates School for Women, tracking the elusive serial killer Zsasz through its labyrinthine corridors. With tension mounting and danger lurking in every darkened corner, Doug Moench and Norm Breyfogle deliver a gripping, suspense-driven chapter in the Knightfall saga, where every step could be the last. Kelley Jones' chilling cover captures the dread of the hunt, perfectly framing the menace that awaits within.
