Batman and Robin #11

Robin stands his ground in full costume beside a tall, mysterious figure in a dark longcoat and top hat who holds a shovel — an unsettling pairing that immediately signals something sinister is afoot in "Batman vs. Robin, Part 2: Boneyard." Frank Quitely's cover art makes striking use of contrast, placing the young hero's bright red-and-yellow suit against the looming, shadowy presence beside him, with the bold cover announcement that "The Return of Bruce Wayne Begins Here!" adding real weight to the moment. Grant Morrison, Andy Clarke, and Scott Hanna deliver what looks to be a pivotal chapter in this 2010 DC series.
