Batman Black & White #6

The finale of DC's 2021 Batman Black & White anthology arrives with a striking cover by John Romita Jr. and Klaus Janson — a rain-soaked Batman rendered in bold, scratchy linework as Gotham's gridded skyline looms behind him, the entire image awash in the series' signature stark monochrome. The composition feels almost abstract, with sheets of rain and ink dissolving the Dark Knight into the city itself, a mood perfectly suited to this anthology's artistic ambitions. Inside, writer Brandon Thomas and artist Khary Randolph bring their own vision to bear with "The Second Signal," making this a fitting close to a series that has consistently showcased the range of what black-and-white comics storytelling can achieve.
