Batman and Robin #37

Part Five of "Robin Rises" arrives with a cover that's hard to ignore — a massive, grinning villain towers over a pile of defeated figures, his clawed hands spread wide and a single glowing eye set into his chest, all rendered in a striking red-and-black palette by Patrick Gleason and Mick Gray. The sheer scale of the figure against the blood-red backdrop makes the threat feel genuinely overwhelming. With Tomasi, Gleason, Gray, and Kalisz driving this New 52 arc forward, this February 2015 issue promises high stakes for Batman and whatever hope remains for Robin's return.
