Batman: Off-World #2

The cover of Batman: Off-World #2 throws Batman straight into an intense extraterrestrial brawl, with a fierce red-haired alien warrior delivering a powerful strike as a crowd of alien figures swarms the background beneath a purple cosmic sky. Penciled and inked by Doug Mahnke and Jaime Mendoza, the composition crackles with kinetic energy — Batman's torn costume and the warrior's elaborate body markings suggesting this off-world conflict has already taken a serious toll. Jason Aaron's "The Things We Do For War" promises a story as bold as its cover.
