Batman: Dark Patterns #11

The Child of Fire" continues in this striking eleventh issue of Batman: Dark Patterns, with a cover by Hayden Sherman that commands immediate attention. A small, hooded child stands at the center of a roaring column of flame, their face eerily calm and bathed in blue against the surrounding inferno, while a massive dark shadow looms and billows upward above them. Dan Watters and Sherman, with colors by Tríona Farrell, are building something genuinely unsettling here — this image alone makes a compelling case for picking up the arc.
