Batman Reptilian #6

The final chapter of Garth Ennis and Liam Sharp's mature-readers Batman tale arrives with a cover that is genuinely unsettling: a dark, silhouetted hand reaches upward from within what appears to be an enormous reptilian maw, rows of glistening teeth framing both sides of a blood-red background. It's a striking image that captures the series' horror-tinged atmosphere perfectly, with Liam Sharp's painterly cover work making every fang and shadow feel viscerally real. "Death & Taxes" promises a fittingly grim conclusion to this DC Black Label story, and this cover alone makes a compelling case for why the series earned its 17+ rating.
