Batman: Killing Time #5
In "Killing Time Chapter 5: A Very Good Price," Tom King and David Marquez deliver a tense, high-stakes showdown as Riddler and Catwoman set up a dangerous exchange with government agent Nuri Espinoza—only for Penguin’s forces to descend in full force. The chaos erupts with brutal precision, leaving Batman and the Help arriving too late to prevent the scramble, and the valuable object vanishes into the hands of a surprise survivor. David Marquez’s dynamic art and Clayton Cowles’ sharp lettering elevate the tension from page one.
