“I Am Whatever You Say I Am”

Part of DC's 2009 "Battle for the Cowl" event, this one-shot puts Man-Bat front and center — and José Ladrönn's cover makes a strong case for why the creature deserves his own spotlight. Man-Bat looms large against a murky teal sky swarming with bats, wings spread wide, claws outstretched, his feral face glowing with an eerie intensity as he crouches over what appears to be a tangle of Gothic architecture and debris below. Writer Joe Harris and artist Jim Calafiore bring the story "I Am Whatever You Say I Am" to life inside, promising a character study as unsettling as that cover suggests.
