Batman #559

In "Dead City [Aftershock]," Gotham’s last functioning hospital becomes a battleground as desperate gang members storm the building in search of drugs, leaving doctors and nurses fleeing in fear. With the medical staff vanishing, Detective Bullock and Officer Montoya must hold the line to protect the patients, while Batman and Robin push through the chaos to reach them. Written by Doug Moench and illustrated by Bob Hall, with inks by Sal Buscema and colors by Gregory Wright and Android Images, the issue’s stark cover by Rodolfo Damaggio captures the city’s unraveling.
