Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham #2

This DC Black Label second chapter of Gargoyle of Gotham presents an unsettling extreme close-up: Batman's cowled face fills the cover, his eyes lost in shadow while a wide, jagged, monstrous grin dominates the lower half — something primal and deeply wrong lurking beneath the mask. Rafael Grampá's cover work, colored by Matheus Lopes, bathes the image in bruised blues and deep reds that amplify the sense of dread. If Book One caught your attention, this cover alone makes a compelling case that this Black Label series is operating in genuinely dark territory.
