Batman Beyond Unlimited #9

This December 2012 installment of Batman Beyond Unlimited puts the futuristic Superman front and center, ensnared in the grasping, vine-like tendrils of a massive, menacing creature as explosive bursts of energy erupt around them — it's a striking image of raw power meeting desperate struggle. A small inset portrait of a grimacing Batman Beyond reminds readers that the Dark Knight's world is never far away, hinting at the broader scope of this "Beyond" universe. With Howard Porter's pencils and John Livesay's inks bringing the chaos to vivid life, "Eradicated!" looks like a thrilling chapter in DC's bold future-set anthology.
