Batman: City of Madness #3

Batman looms out of pure darkness on Christian Ward's deeply unsettling cover for the concluding chapter of this DC Black Label series — his cowl split between cold blue and searing red, while writhing tentacles coil up from the shadows below, dissolving the line between hero and something far more eldritch. Ward, handling every facet of the book's writing, art, and color himself, brings a painterly, cosmic-horror intensity to Gotham that feels genuinely singular. At $6.99, Batman: City of Madness Book Three promises a finale as psychedelic and unnerving as the cover suggests.
