Batman #648

In "All They Do Is Watch Us Kill Part 1," Judd Winick and Doug Mahnke deliver a tense, character-driven thriller as Black Mask attempts to bargain with Red Hood—only for the deal to collapse in violence. When Red Hood seems to fall, he sends a chilling message to Alfred through a package containing a single strand of the Joker’s hair, leaving the future of Gotham’s darkest figures hanging in the balance. The issue’s stark, moody art by Mahnke and Jock’s striking cover capture the weight of betrayal and unseen eyes watching from the shadows.
