Batman and Robin #31

Part of DC's New 52, Batman and Robin #31 kicks off "The Hunt for Robin: City of Gold" with a striking snowy mountain tableau: Batman crouches low alongside a fierce-looking dog while the massive, sword-wielding Frankenstein looms large at center, his stitched green frame radiating brute purpose. Towering above them all in the background is a hooded, shadowy figure whose presence casts a mysterious pall over the entire scene — a haunting reminder of who (or what) drives this hunt. With cover art by Patrick Gleason and Mick Gray, this issue promises an unconventional alliance set against a cold, forbidding landscape that feels equal parts gothic and adventure-driven.
