Batman Beyond #16

Part three of "The Long Payback" arrives with a striking cover by Bernard Chang that sends Batman Beyond and a armored figure — heralded by the bold tagline "Enter… Stalker!" — plummeting in freefall against a stark white background, the diagonal slash of the series logo adding a sharp sense of momentum to the scene. The two combatants tumble mid-air with scattered debris around them, conveying a collision that's already well underway. With Dan Jurgens writing and Phil Hester on interior art, this 2018 arc continues to push Terry McGinnis into some genuinely dangerous territory.
