Batman Eternal #12

Part of DC's ambitious weekly series from 2014, this New 52 installment puts Batman in a gripping mid-air confrontation high above Gotham's cityscape, his cape billowing as he grapples with a masked, armored figure alongside a GCPD blimp. Guillem March's cover art captures the sheer physicality of the struggle with sharp, kinetic linework and a moody urban backdrop glowing with city lights far below. With a writing team that includes Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Ray Fawkes, John Layman, and Tim Seeley, alongside interior art by Mikel Janín, "The Good Man" promises the kind of tightly crafted storytelling that made Batman Eternal one of 2014's most compelling ongoing reads.
