Batman Eternal #51

Cliff Chiang's cover for this penultimate chapter of Batman Eternal is genuinely unsettling — a massive, scarred face looms over Gotham City's skyline, its cold blue eyes staring out through streaks of dripping red as though the entire city exists beneath its shadow. With a story titled "Nobody" and a creative ensemble including Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, and artists Álvaro Martínez and Raúl Fernández, this 2015 New 52 entry carries the weight of a sprawling year-long saga bearing down on its finish line. If you've been following Batman Eternal, this cover alone signals that the endgame has arrived.
