Batman Incorporated: Leviathan Strikes #1

Batman soars front and center on this bold one-shot cover, his cape spread wide like a bat signal against a sharp acid-green background, while a swarm of dark robotic figures — armed and menacing — surround him on all sides. The "Leviathan Strikes!" banner makes the threat unmistakable, and Chris Burnham's cover art gives the whole image a kinetic, outnumbered-but-unbowed energy that suits Grant Morrison's Batman Incorporated saga perfectly. A satisfying oversized package collecting two chapters of this arc, with interior art by Cameron Stewart — this February 2012 one-shot is a strong entry point into one of the most ambitious Batman stories of its era.
