Batman and Robin #10

Part of DC's New 52 initiative, Batman and Robin #10 pitches readers straight into "War of the Robins" — and the cover by Patrick Gleason and Mick Gray captures the tension perfectly. Robin (Damian Wayne) lunges forward at the center, flanked by Batman above and a dark-armored figure to the right, while Red Hood and a shadowy red-and-black combatant clash in the background amid a swarm of bats and a pale full moon. Peter J. Tomasi's "Terminus, Scar of the Bat" promises the kind of high-stakes bat-family drama that made this New 52 series one of 2012's most compelling reads.
