Batman 80-Page Giant #1

In "Fire & Ice," three young men don the masks of heroes, drawn to Gotham’s shadows with the hope of making a difference. When their vigilante dream turns deadly during a rescue on a school bus, one of them falls to Killer Croc’s brutal grasp. Written by Mike Raicht and illustrated by Clayton Henry, with colors by JD Smith and letters by Travis Lanham, this gripping tale explores the cost of heroism in a city that doesn’t need more legends—just more truth. The cover, by Andy Kubert, captures the moment’s raw tension.
