Batman: Detective Comics #4
In "The Seven, Part One," Batman uncovers a chilling conspiracy where ordinary citizens—like Caroline—are being manipulated by a shadowy force into committing new crimes, all tied to past sins they thought were buried. With the Riddler’s fingerprints all over the scheme, and familiar faces lurking in the shadows, Batman must piece together a puzzle where guilt is the weapon and justice is the target. Written by Mariko Tamaki and Nadia Shammas, with dynamic art by Ivan Reis and Danny Miki, and colors by Brad Anderson, this issue’s cover by Reis and Miki captures the tension perfectly.
