Batman #73

Batman #73 brings Tom King, Mikel Janín, and Jordie Bellaire together for "The Fall and the Fallen Part 4," and the cover alone sets a striking tone. Bathed in deep amber and burnt orange, the image shows Batman astride a horse across a vast desert landscape, while a bound, hooded figure is dragged along behind — with the tagline declaring that Thomas Wayne will do the unthinkable to save his son. Janín's painterly cover work gives the whole thing a stark, almost mythic western quality that makes this 2019 issue genuinely hard to put down unread.
