Batman: Gotham Knights #69

In "The Shape of Things to Come Part Two," the mystery deepens as a murder investigation in Gotham takes a shocking turn, pointing to an unexpected suspect. Six months after Hush revealed unsettling truths to Johnny Williams, the consequences of that revelation begin to unfold in ways neither man could have predicted. Written by A. J. Lieberman and illustrated by Al Barrionuevo, with inks by Bit, colors by Laurie Kronenberg, and letters by Pat Brosseau, this 2005 issue builds tension with a story that lingers just beyond the edge of understanding—its cover by Claudio Castellini capturing the unease of what’s to come.
