Batman Beyond #1

The sleek black-and-red Batman suit has never looked more commanding than on Dustin Nguyen's cover for this opening chapter of a six-issue series — Terry McGinnis's Batman strides forward against a crimson-drenched Gotham skyline, while a massive, ominous shadowed figure looms in the background above him. Writer Adam Beechen and artist Ryan Benjamin bring Neo-Gotham to comics in 2010 with this first issue, subtitled "Hush Beyond, Part 1: History Repeats" — a title that promises the past is about to cast a long shadow over the future. If you've ever wanted to see the animated world of Batman Beyond expanded on the comics page, this is a confident and visually striking place to start.
