Batman: Detective Comics #2
In "Elixir Part One," Batman confronts a chilling mystery: the murder of a tech genius found dead in a locked room, his final message scrawled in blood—urging Batman not to solve the crime. With a layered artistic team led by Al Ewing on writing and Stefano Raffaele, John McCrea, and Fico Ossio on art, the issue unfolds with a tense, cerebral pulse. Mikel Janín’s striking cover sets the tone for a story where every clue feels like a trap.
