“Pennyworth R.I.P.”

In "Pennyworth R.I.P.", the fractured mind of Harvey Dent reaches a breaking point as Two-Face and his former self wage an internal war for dominance. With Two-Face commanding a loyal following driven by the flip of a coin, the desperate Harvey Dent turns to Batman for help—seeking to reclaim his identity before it’s lost for good. Written by Peter J. Tomasi and brought to life by Brad Walker’s striking art, this gripping issue dives deep into the psyche of one of Gotham’s most tragic figures. The cover, by Brad Walker and Andrew Hennessy, captures the tension with a haunting, split-image portrait of Dent’s duality.
