Batman Beyond #19

Part of the "Long Payback" arc, this 2018 installment brings the storyline to a head with a striking Bernard Chang cover that frames a masked, green-eyed villain looming over a curved shield — and reflected in that shield, Batman Beyond himself clawing desperately against its surface while a glowing, spectral face hovers behind him. The tagline "to the Devil his due" sets a tense, high-stakes tone as Dan Jurgens, Phil Hester, Ande Parks, and Michael Spicer deliver the arc's conclusion. It's a visually inventive issue that promises debts finally coming due in Neo-Gotham's future.
